The inspiration behind this wine is Michael Pozzan's father, Byron, and the resulting wine is as bold as his personality. A Wisconsin native born in the early 1920's, his family moved from the farm to Oakland where at the age of 16, Byron ran away. Falsifying documents and lying about his age, he joined the Merchant Marines and traveled around the world visiting exotic ports. Byron embraced the sailor lifestyle and subsequently the tattoos that showed as a badge of honor. The "Sailors Grave" tattoo is the image of Eagle and American flag with sinking ship. Sailors would get this tattoo not knowing if they would come home from war and if the ocean would be their grave. Byron helped aid the Allied forces in WWII and, at times, was forced to sail through enemy waters to reach their port. One of those times, his ship was torpedoed, leaving Byron and a few sailors on a life raft in the pacific. Those who survived spent five days adrift at sea before being rescued.
