It's always been Gary's belief that the wine business is not just about moving volume. It's about enjoying life, enjoying wine, and enjoying the company of friends. Otherwise, we might as well be selling carburetors. After 30 years in the wine business, Gary decided he'd like to begin to share the same camaraderie he's developed with the winemakers he's met along the way with his other friends, our most loyal customers. Thus, the GF Private Label project was born with the philosophy that there's always an extra barrel or two available for a friend.

For the flagship Grand Finale series, we've begun sourcing single barrels of ultra-premium wine as a "thank you" to our very best customers. We've worked directly with the winemakers to craft these wines, traveled extensively to check up on them as they develop into truly one-of-a-kind bottlings. You will not, cannot, find these wines anywhere else. They're just for us. And as such, we think they're a fitting Grand Finale to any special occasion. Our first project choosing a single barrel from Jericho Canyon Vineyards just happened, ever so providentially, to fall in the amazing-for-Napa-Cabernet 2007 vintage. Crafted by winemaker Robbie Meyer, this hillside Cabernet is a force to be reckoned with. Powerful and intense, this wine is inky purple in the glass, and full of wild berry flavors, black truffle and licorice, ending with a mouthful of fleshy tannins. Give this monster some time to nap if you can; those powerful, brooding tannins will soften with time to reveal an increasingly complex and showy wine.

Food pairing: Standing rib roast
