Winemaking goes to the dogs! Our beloved Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier Ty, also known as “Big Guy”, spent many faithful years welcoming guests to the winery. Whether walking through vineyards to inspect grapes or in the barrel room cleaning out barrels prepping for the next vintage, Ty was always happily by our side. His high-spirited presence was guaranteed to make any day that much better. Sadly, Big Guy has left us. As a tribute to his memory, and all of the beloved four-legged friends that have gone before him, an unwavering wine was created to keep their spirit alive.
Much like Ty, Big Guy Wine has playful flavors and is ever constant. Blended to create an easy drinking red wine with lots of ripe red fruit aromas and flavors, the wine is enjoyable young, while the tannin structure and acidity will allow it to develop gracefully for several years. Enjoy a bottle with friends and family at your next BBQ and don’t forget to share a nibble with your faithful friend looking up at you!
