About Pedroncelli Winery & Vineyards: “The year was 1927. President Calvin Coolidge captured the imagination of nobody. Babe Ruth hit home run after home run powered by little more than whiskey and sausage. And John Pedroncelli, Sr. bought a vineyard and winery in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. Since then, four generations of Pedroncellis have weathered Prohibition, wine booms and busts, and changing tastes. And they’re still a family-owned operation making acclaimed premium wines. Wherever you are now, Sultan of Swat and Silent Cal, this next glass is for you.”

Friender

TASTING NOTES:
“From the fruity aromas to the lingering finish, this friendly red wine showcases the best of the blend. Aromas of blackberry, cherry and warm spice. Smooth tannins and light toasty oak notes frame the cherry and plum fruit. It is a medium-bodied harmonious wine with a round fruity finish.” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.82, TA 0.585 g/100mL)

BARRELS: 10 months in American oak, 25% new.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
In 1973, Tatsunoko Productions put out the animated series Casshan, or Casshern depending on the romanization you use. After the androids of Dr. Kotaro Azuma go out of control and determine the human race to be a threat too great to the world to let go on, his son Tetsuya has his consciousness transferred into an android body, becoming Casshern. In his new body, he’s capable of fighting the renegade androids under their leader Buraiking Boss essentially bare-handed. It’s also convenient that the robots have antennae that when ripped off disable them.

In his war on the robots, he is joined by two others: a girl named Luna and a mechanical dog named Friender. In truth, Friender was Tetsuya’s dog Lucky who underwent a similar consciousness transfer. Friender is capable of transforming into many different forms including a motorcycle, a jet, a submarine, and a tank.

He is a good boy.
