Wine Information:

Cogburn Reserve: 

John Wayne’s love of Western themes was not about simply promulgating an image. He really loved the West.  His heartfelt belief was that America’s frontier was, back in the day, a place of wide-open spaces where pioneering acts of heroism and adventure occurred in pursuit of a better life. He found such notions enchanting, romantic, and inspiring.

In True Grit (1969), he played a drunken, foul-tempered but endearing U.S. Marshal named Rooster Cogburn, who becomes an unlikely hero when he helps a young girl avenge the murder of her father. He liked the character so much that he made his only sequel, Rooster Cogburn (1975). John Wayne’s Oscar for True Grit in 1970 was a long-overdue reward for one of America’s icons. The painting of John Wayne as Cogburn on this elegant and bold Pinot Noir was created by western actor and artist Buck Taylor – a close friend of the Wayne family.

We introduce you to Cogburn Reserve. From the Russian River Valley AVA of Sonoma County, this beautiful wine is influenced mostly by the fog of the AVA and is very aromatic, with a velvet mouthfeel, and has a fruit character that is ripe and intense.

26 Bar: 

John Wayne lived as he worked during his free time, spending time out on the range raising cattle and chasing adventures on the open water – a true outdoorsman.

Along with his longtime friend Louis Johnson, The Duke owned a 39-mile working purebred Hereford cattle ranch in Arizona – the 26 Bar Ranch. It raised more than 400 bulls each year. He frequently attended the Hereford production sales and often winning at the big stock shows.

“Courage is being scared to death… and saddling up anyway.” – John Wayne

We introduce you to 26 Bar, from the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this beauty exhibits balanced fruit with tarte acidity making this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Valley Chardonnay and sure to bring home top prize at the show.
