About Halleck Vineyard
Owned by Ross and Jennifer Halleck, the Halleck Vineyard has produced and continues to produce award-winning Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewurtztraminer. Using only a one-acre site, the vineyard sits between the Russian River and the Pacific Ocean. Their passion for Pinot leads to some dang good wine.

Halleck Baldwin

TASTING NOTES:
“It leads with red fruits like pomegranate and fresh cranberry, with hints of raspberry, but delivers bright minerality and a crisp mid-palate. Rich and elegant, it finishes in white pepper, lingering for many minutes.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help make conversation over this wine:
Alec Baldwin first stepped onto the small screen in 1980 on a hospital soap opera called The Doctors. By that point, The Doctors had been airing for a whole 17 years. One actor, James Pritchett (who played Dr. Matt Powers), was present for the entire run. That’s a whole 19 years in just one role.

DRINK IT FROM (conventional option):
Standard red glass.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
30 Rock commemorative glass.
