Hank McCrorie grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina and attended Lenoir Rhyne College. He was captain of the football team which was ranked number one among small colleges. Hank began what was to become a long and successful career selling pharmaceuticals for Pfizer, reaching the level of Executive Vice President of sales. After 40 years with Pfizer, Hank and his wife Bernice, who was born and raised in Sonoma County, California, decided to retire in Napa Valley. They both felt it was one of the most beautiful places in the country and looked forward to many years relaxing and enjoying great wine.

The nickname stuck among his teammates and given the bold nature of the the wine, is more than a befitting name for the wine as well. The oak tree displayed on the label is not only a symbol connecting the McCrorie’s childhoods, Hank growing up surrounded by beautiful southern oaks and Bernice the sprawling oak trees at the family ranch in Northern California, but also embodies the commanding flavors of tannins and oak, balanced by the beauty of its velvety, rich and flavorful layers.
