The Men

Dewey Stratton believed in hard work and good land. It took Dewey Stratton eleven tires and seventeen days over a wood plank trail to get to California. He worked every odd job he could find. A share cropper in Missouri he had one dream. He knew one day he would own a ranch in California

Charles Lummis walked from Ohio to his job as the first editor of the Los Angeles Times. It took him 143 days. The subject of several books, Lummis was a writer, photographer, archeologist, created the slogan "See America First", was knighted by the King of Spain, helped to save the Missions,  and founded the SouthWest Museum. His home is a historical landmark open to the public. 

Both men loved good wine, lavish food, and raucous parties–as do we. With honorable mention to all the women who put up with them, we name this wine in their honor.
