How much would you pay for a bottle of wine? $20? $40? How about $500 or $1,000? Pretty crazy huh! In recent years wine collectors have been paying the ultimate price for California's so-called "Cult Wines." My mom and other novice wine connoisseurs are asking…”Why?”
Our 2005 Tobacco Road Cabernet Sauvignon from To Kalon Vineyards in the Oakville district of Napa Valley, is our top-of-the-line wine & described as "rich" and "pure" and rare. That's the key component in creating a cult wine: Scarcity. We are producing a limited quantity of 25 cases and we expect to sell out within the first week of release. The price you pay for premium quality, scarce wine from Tobacco Road, $125/bottle. A great deal considering other wineries producing wine from To Kalon range from $189-$295/bottle. Our three and six pack orders are shipped in a custom wood crate for easy storing and a beautiful display.
Most large wineries produce hundreds of thousands of cases. Tobacco Road numbers its cases in the hundreds…150 to be exact, and those are most likely sold before they're even released, through the Road Crew mailing list and pre release sales online.
If you can't buy Tobacco Road at Tobacco Road, where do you go? Well, you can break out the checkbook and hit the internet…scouring auction sites for bottles picked up by a collector or you can collect dust and wait for the next release of our wines. But at Tobacco Road Cellars, we want customers drinking our wine, not making an investment or reselling it. Tobacco Road symbolizes a history of tradition, with a reputation for excellence. We embrace these values and implement them into every bottle of wine to ensure that your experience is nothing less than superior.
