Thanksgiving Pairing 6-Bottle Bundle

Nestled in a valley of the Appalachian Mountains, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, sits Appalachian State University. One of the most beautiful settings in the country, Boone and the surrounding communities are commonly referred to as the “High Country.”

We introduce to you High Country. From the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate. This stunning wine is light and friendly with very subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints on the nose. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.

The Rock: 

In addition to boasting one of the most picturesque settings for college football with App State’s campus and the natural beauty of the High Country serving as a backdrop, Kidd Brewer Stadium, affectionately nicknamed “The Rock,” also stakes claim to being one of the toughest venues in the nation.

We introduce you to The Rock. This proprietary red blend – from our award-winning winemaker Todd Heth – exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry with long-lasting berry fruit. Silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.

Boone: 

Daniel Boone is famous for exploring the American frontier beyond the Appalachian Mountains. He blazed one of the trails that opened up areas west of the Appalachians to increased European settlement. Boone was the namesake for Boone, N.C., where he would camp while hunting in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Appalachian State University replaced the original monument with a sculpture of Daniel Boone with his dogs, erected in 1999 by the Duck Pond off Rivers Street, on the spot believed to have been Boone’s campsite.

We introduce to you Boone. 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 from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Brut 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.

The Mountaineer Pride: 

As a Mountaineer, you know you are a part of something bigger than yourself. People from different backgrounds and cultures gather in fellowship in the Blue Ridge Mountains to become part of the Pride. By sharing experiences with one another at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the Duck Pond or Durham Park – a bond is formed between us Mountaineers that is truly unbreakable.

With every bottle of Mountain Born Napa Valley wine, proceeds will benefit and support our great institution and important athletics programs. Appalachian State University creates a spirit and passion among its students that they carry with them for the rest of their lives. That spirit and passion is none other than The Mountaineer Pride.  

We introduce you to The Mountaineer Pride. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
