Surprise the wine lover in your life with this 12-bottle Box of Ironstone Symphony Wine.
Wine characteristics:
Heady bouquet smells like a flower garden filled with jasmine and roses
Tastes like biting into a bunch of fresh juicy grapes
Delicately sweet and refreshingly crisp on the finish
Symphony refers to the name of the grape this wine is made from
A true American creation, Symphony was developed at the University of California at Davis in 1948. A curious viticultural researcher or grapevine scientist, Dr. Olmo, was playing
mix-and-match in the vineyards, crossing various grape varieties. The cross between the flamboyant fragrant Muscat d'Alexandrie and the rather drab Grenache Gris showed some promise.
After years of making wines and testing them they finally decided it was good enough and gave the grape the highly marketable name Symphony.

Director Robert Altman, famous for his ability to turn any genre inside out, takes aim at film noir with this evocative adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel. Altman's Philip Marlowe (Elliott Gould) is a relatively unsuccessful private eye living and working in 1970s Los Angeles. Stepping into the shoes of the notorious detective, Gould delivers a captivating performance that is the definition of'70s hip: he spends the entire film mumbling to himself, smoking cigarettes, and making wisecracks to everyone he encounters. This time around, Marlowe decides to investigate the supposed suicide of his friend Terry Lennox (Jim Bouton). At the same time, he's hired by Lennox's beautiful neighbor, Eileen Wade (Nina Van Pallandt), to track down her husband Roger (Sterling Hayden), a successful author and belligerent alcoholic. Slowly, the mystery begins to reveal itself, as Marlowe discovers that Eileen's relationship with his dead friend was more than merely casual. All the while, Marlowe must contend with police, a psychopathic gangster (Mark Rydell), and a host of other characters and situations that make up the hazy existential malaise that is the world of THE LONG GOODBYE.Altman's particular brand of filmmaking hits stride with this brilliant revisionist noir thriller photographed by the great Vilmos Zsigmond (MCCABE& MRS. MILLER, HEAVEN'S GATE). John Williams' score consists of several ironic variations on the title composition, which provides the film with an added comic punch.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 2.35Audio: Dolby Digital Mono - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Featurettes - 1.
