The \"Speakeasy\" name honors founder Tim Spencer’s 1981 midnight heist, where he reclaimed his own wine from a bankrupt facility to launch the family label. Today, winemaker \u003cstrong\u003eStuart Spencer\u003c\/strong\u003e continues this legacy by blending the best barrels of the cellar—including fruit from the historic \u003cstrong\u003eMarian’s Vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e (planted in 1901)—without being restricted by traditional varietal rules.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 id=\"regional-terroir\"\u003eLodi Terroir \u0026amp; Sustainable Farming\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Grown in the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eTokay Fine Sandy Loam\u003c\/strong\u003e of Lodi, these grapes thrive under the influence of the \u003cstrong\u003eDelta Breeze\u003c\/strong\u003e. This natural cooling effect preserves acidity while allowing for the concentrated, jammy flavors that make \u003cstrong\u003eOld Vine Zinfandel\u003c\/strong\u003e world-famous. St. Amant is a leader in the \u003cstrong\u003eLODI RULES for Sustainable Winegrowing\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring every bottle supports soil health, water conservation, and the community.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 id=\"somm-pairing-tips\"\u003eSommelier Pairing Recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Match:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow-smoked beef brisket with bourbon BBQ sauce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtisanal Cheese:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aged Gouda or sharp white cheddar to highlight the vanilla notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serve slightly chilled (62°F) to maintain the focus of the rich huckleberry preserves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chuck Herrold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42683067564122,"sku":null,"price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/9862\/3322\/files\/St-Amant-Bootleg-Society-Speakeasy-Red-Blend-2022.jpg?v=1774912492","url":"https:\/\/www.sippinsommwines.com\/products\/st-amant-bootleg-speakeasy-red-blend-lodi-2022","provider":"Sippin Somm Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
