About Two Shepherds: “The artisanship and quality of wine is hindered by excessive manipulation, attempts to over-correct vineyard decisions and Mother Nature, as well as manual intervention to maximize every aspect of the wine. The process of wine making occurs naturally, and as a wine maker, Two Shepherds role is to guide it along, protect it from harm, and otherwise not intervene. All of our wines are aged in used, neutral barrels (yes – even the reds) that impart no oak characteristics, but subtly enhance the wines’ texture, mouth feel, and flavor concentration.”

Two and a Half Shepherds

TASTING NOTES: “This wine has become one of our personal favorites; fresh and gulpable, mouthwatering acidity, with a nice weight and texture that belies the low alcohol. Layered with honeysuckle and peach – it’s highly enjoyable with or without food…” (AbV 12.3%, pH 3.6, TA 6.6 g/L)

VARIETALS: 100% Vermentino

BARRELS: 6 months in 50% stainless steel and 50% neutral barrel.

PAIRS WITH: All things fried, spicy, and salty.

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Two and a Half Men. That was a show.

Honestly, I never watched it. Reading through the Wikipedia summary? I don’t understand how this thing went 12 seasons.

So the premise is Alan and his son Jake move into Alan’s brother Charlie’s beach house when Alan goes through a divorce. Those are the titular two and a half men. Charlie is rich from writing commercial jingles and has “casual sexual misadventures” for several seasons. When Sheen went wild and entered into rehab, they killed off his character in the show. There must always be two and a half men, however, so they brought in a new rich person to own the beach house. But eventually the half man grew up and moved out (both the beach house and the show). So they introduce a secret daughter of Charlie as the half man. But then a season later, the last season, she’s not the half man anymore because Alan and the new rich guy adopt a child. And then the series ends and Charlie’s maybe alive but then there’s a piano?
