More significant than any screen performance was John Wayne’s real-life commitment to the brave men and women of our United States Armed Forces. John Wayne represented the heart of America by showing his unwavering appreciation to military service members sacrificing their lives by participating in USO tours during World War II and the Vietnam War. Duke would perform and meet with soldiers, giving them a bit of home and a reason to press on.

“I am an old-fashioned, honest-to-goodness, flag waving patriot.” – John Wayne

We introduce you to The Duke. This premium sparkling wine – meticulously and artfully made in the traditional champagne method – rivals anything found from the best Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Blended superbly with 100% Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Blanc de Noirs exhibits rich fruit aromatics of strawberry and delicate white cherry that follows through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.
