Description

For those not familiar with The Little King, it is an intensely special project for Miranda and Del. The methode champenoise sparkling wine was crafted in honor of the life and spirit of their first son Rex, who died shortly after birth in 2002. A Granny Smith Apple base wine with raspberry dosage, the wine presents in a gorgeous pink bubbly, with soft notes of raspberry on the nose grounded by crisp apple bubbles. The 2004 vintage of The Little King sold out in a record 2 weeks … for all those who supported this project we are so pleased to announce that proceeds from the sale of the inaugural 2 vintages of this wine have raised over $17,000 for the ‘Pediatric Nursing Education Fund’. This fund is filling a huge void in on-going nursing education and hopefully will prevent accidents like those that claimed Rex’s life. Thank you so much for your support. If you would like to get on the waitlist for the 2008 vintage (to be released in the Fall of 2010) please send us an email, including the number of bottles you would like, to secure, and your phone number for an alternate contact point.
