Introducing Wingman Wine

Champions Need Co-Stars

Top Gun is a different movie without Goose. Jordan would have fewer rings without Pippen. Ripley wouldn’t have shined without… the alien.

The reality is, the star needs supporting actors. Good supporting actors. Without them, there’s no show… or the show gets super stale, super quick.

That’s why we made Wingman.

It’s a solid, no-frills workhorse. It’s an everyday performer, it’s reliable as heck, and most importantly, you won’t break the bank if you buy it by the case. Repeatedly.

Hypothetical Situations That Totally Might Be Real

When is it appropriate to bust out a bottle of Wingman red? More often than you might think. It’s good. Surprisingly good. Even if it’s not the star of the show like our award-winning flagship wines, it’s still a top-notch player.

Hypothetical situation #1 — Friends are coming over for dinner. They drink three-buck chuck, and they know you like “fancy” wine. They’ll be happy with anything, and your wine fridge is stocked with award-winners. Are you going to open the $65 Best in Show Syrah? Or a bottle of Wingman? Remember… they’ll be happy with anything.

Hypothetical situation #2 — Second round of burgers on the grill. Chips and dips on the table. Kids vibrating from caffeinated soda. This isn’t a dinner — it’s a barbecue. You just want a glass of good wine. Nothing fancy. Just good.

Hypothetical situation #3 — It’s Wednesday night. Who are you showing off for?

Why Wingman?

Wingman grapes were picked a little young, saving them from an early frost. We worked with the lower brix, added some extra sugars, did what we do best, and knocked it out of the park.

Because Wingman uses added sugars, there’s not quite the depth or breadth of subtle notes you’d get from our usual meticulous, small-batch wines. All the highlights, none of the filler. It’s good, but we’re not about to put it against our flagship in a competition.

Anything Else?

We like Wingman. Others who’ve had it liked it too. Usually we’re picky about our grapes, and picky about our final product — we’re a young winery and particular about what we’ll put our name on. But sometimes we get an opportunity to try something new: grapes with high brix, drought grapes, heavy smoke, you name it. These are a chance to explore the limits of wine. They may not be flagship wines, but if you come into the tasting room, you might get to try something special.
