This is our second collaboration with my friend and pro cyclist Pete Stetina. Pete loves wine, and I love bikes. I wanted this wine to remind us of the strong overlap between the cycling and winemaking communities. We've gone back and forh theorizing the on the cause, and we settled on a name that gets to the root of the matter. While type one fun is normal fun (mini-golf, donut runs, beach days, etc.) type two fun is terrible whitle it's happening but fun and rewarding when it's over. Like both a grueling day on the bike ir harvest season in a winery. In the moment: "Why do I do this to myself? Never again." Pretty soon after, though? "That wasn't so bad. What's next?" - Lucas Meeker
91 Points. This deep, rich and complex wine offers a plethora of aromas and flavors that cling to the senses through to a lengthy finish. The palate offers structural tannins, generous alcohol and a balanced acidity, resulting in a weighty, full bodied red. Enjoy notes of roses, violets, red currant, red plum, fresh fennel, star anise, black pepper, wild strawberry and black cherry. - Stacey Briscoe
