THE STORY OF THE GINGER MAN
When my brother and I were younger, I occasionally referred to him as the "Ginger Man" because he has red facial hair. This didn't always go over well. He could be pretty fierce, hence the label warns "BEWARE THE GINGER MAN." It's all in good fun, and wine keeps him calm. He's a big fan of Syrah, so I named this one after him.
