About the last guy I would expect to have a line of wines is AJ Foyt. Beer, maybe. Wines? Stretch. What's next, a "male fragrance" from Super Tex?
I kid. Here's the 100% authentic news release from Foyt Racing about Foyt Family Wines ..
Foyt Family Wines Are Now Available at the ‘Roots in Sonoma’ Tasting Room
SONOMA, CA July 12, 2010 -- Foyt Family Wines showcases their offerings in a tasting room where the roots run deep in Sonoma.
Foyt Family Wines joins with Meadowcroft Family of Wines and Larson Family of Wines in the newly opened “Roots in Sonoma” tasting room, located at CornerStone Sonoma in the Carneros region of the county. Race fans and wine enthusiasts alike can see early Foyt Family photos and taste Foyt Family Wines No. 67, a chardonnay named for A.J. Foyt’s 1967 wins at LeMans and Indy, and No. 72, a Meritage blend named for A.J.’s 1972 victory in the Daytona 500.
Foyt Family Wines co-founder, Larry Foyt said, “I am thrilled to be part of the Roots in Sonoma tasting room with Tom Meadowcroft and Tom Larson. Their vision of celebrating the art of winemaking while focusing on the roots of farming and hard work is similar to our Foyt family legacy as my father’s grassroots, hard work ethic also produced exceptional results. I look forward to creating and sharing wonderful memories with both families and most importantly, our fans.”
Only five miles from Infineon Raceway, the tasting room is part of the CornerStone Sonoma complex that features world class gardens, a gourmet café, art galleries and cutting edge design shops all set among acres of vineyards.
