About Pedroncelli Winery
I’m just gonna… leave this here.

“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.”

Vintage 1927

TASTING NOTES:
Chardonnay - “Pineapple, mango and peach aromas lead to juicy fruit flavors of ripe peach, sweet spices, pineapple, basically loaded with tropical fruit notes. The blend of the two Chardonnay lots adds both fruit forward qualities and a creamy texture.”

Cabernet - “Ripe blackberry and plum aromas lead to touches of oregano, pepper and smoky oak. Berry flavors combine with tobacco and dried herbs, typical of the Dry Creek Valley terroir. A long earthy finish with lasting fruit is simply elegant.”

Pinot - “Aromas of rose petals, pomegranate and nutmeg greet the nose. Flavors follow with strawberry and black plum, toasty oak notes framed by bright acidity.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help make conversation over this wine:
In 1927, the first transatlantic phone call is made from New York to London. Also, Ford finally brought out the successor to the Model T… the Model A! Creative. It wasn’t even the first Ford Model A.

DRINK IT FROM (conventional option):
A mix of reds and whites likely calls for a mix of red and white glasses to make the most out of ‘em.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
The sawed-off tailpipe of the first Ford Model A produced in 1927 and converted into something like a champagne flute.
