47 Friends Red Table Wine, Ancient Oak Cellars
The 47 Friends Red Table Wine is a wine that I open often – any night just for Ken and me, when a friend stops over, or when we go over to someone’s house for dinner – because it is delicious wine at a price that I can afford to drink anytime.
This wine was unveiled in its infancy at a yearly gathering of friends, held on the Sonoma Coast, where it was christened “47 Friends.” Whether there were 47 Friends present, or they drank 47 bottles of wine, nobody can quite remember. Grab your 47 Friends and enjoy!
