Blend 786 is a crisp, elegant sparkling wine with bright acidity, fine bubbles, and notes of green apple, citrus, and a touch of toasted coconut. We are proud to re-release it in honor of the 10-year anniversary of the USS Illinois (SSN 786) christening.
For each bottle sold, $5 is donated to the 786 Club, a charity who provides support for the submarine crew members and their families. To learn more or make a donation, visit https://www.786club.org/.
