Our founding winemaker, George Cooper, was a test pilot for NASA; and we name all of our blends after different airplanes that George flew - we call them the Test Pilot series.  We make six different Test Pilot blends, all in small lots - and it is rare they are all in stock at the same time - but we have them all now!  SO, if you are someone who loves blends, airplanes, or both, this collection is for you.  Get all six different Test Pilot blends: the P61 Black Widow, the F7U Cutlass, the F6F Hellcat, the F86 Sabre Jet, the P47 Thunderbolt and the F104 Starfighter. Normally retailing at $267.00, this collection is yours for only $226.95, a 15% discount!  Be sure to read the back of the labels to learn both about the wine blended percentages AND to learn about what George was testing when he flew that plane!  Wine Club discounts are added on at checkout.
