I came across Luchador
wine at my local liquor store and immediately wanted to buy it despite
my “no wine over ten dollars” rule. This wine was a mere two dollars
over my limit, and when I got home and read this story online it made
me wish I had bought a bottle.

“Here’s the real story about the origin of Luchador. My longest
term employee ( a warehouse manager who has worked for me for ten
years, since he was twenty-one), came into my office and said, “My
friends and I usually drink beer whenever we watch the Lakers, but now
we’re drinking wine. Why
don’t you make a wine for us?” How do you want it? “Big.” How much do
you want to pay? “About $15.00 bucks.” So I made it. Even though it
doesn’t say it on the label, Luchador is a classic, regional Barossa
Shiraz. It’s the baby brother of Chris Ringland CR.
