Wine Details
Price:
$80.00 per bottle
Description:
In Greek mythology, as punishment for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to man, Prometheus was bound to a rock high on a hill where a vulture feasted on his liver. During the cool of the night while the bird slept, Prometheus’ suffering temporarily abated, while his liver miraculously regenerated, but the next dawn brought the terrible cycle back. Favored by the gods, Hercules broke the shackles of the long-suffering Prometheus and killed the vulture.
Some say that it is Promethean volcanic rock that forms the slopes of Mt. Veeder, where today vultures warm their wings in the early morning sun before soaring over the bucolic Napa Valley below. From these elevated soils of mythical gods one finds Betty O’ Shaughnessy’s Progeny Vineyards and an unparalleled wine.
