The Gift of “Pretentious Wine for Unpretentious People” Tops Wine Lover’s Wish List This Year

San Francisco, CA, December 16, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Don’t let their Southern drawls fool you. These guys know their wine. These North Carolina based entrepreneurs’ penchant for California grapes led them to Napa Valley four years ago on a whim to create nearly half of their production to the lucky recipients. The other half (or so), they swear, they drank themselves.

Today, owners Jason Earnest and Dusty Field have nearly a dozen bottlings under their belt, a harem of collectors and wine lovers vying for a bottle or two of their limited production, and the endorsement of the nation’s best known wine aficionado and blogger – Gary Vaynerchuk (www.WineLibrary.com), who touts the wine as “STUPID GOOD.” (Watch his reaction to their wine on video at www.TobaccoRoadCellars.com)

Note to Media: A b-roll package is available
