Maison Noir Horseshoes and Handgrenades

With a name like 'Horseshoes and Handgrenades,' this wine isn't trying to be subtle – and thankfully, it doesn't need to be. Created by André Hueston Mack (former sommelier at The French Laundry and Per Se), this blend embodies his playful, rule-breaking approach to winemaking.

This red blend brings together the best of Washington and Oregon fruit, combining Syrah's peppery intensity with the structure of Bordeaux varieties. It's a wine that's serious about quality while refusing to take itself too seriously – kind of like that friend who can quote Shakespeare one minute and make terrible puns the next.

The name comes from the phrase 'close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades,' but there's nothing 'almost' about how delicious this wine is. Perfect for when you want something with personality that'll please both wine geeks and casual sippers alike.
