McKahn Family Cellars
is a Bay Area based wine brand dedicated to producing wines of quality and
character. Where we come from family gatherings have always been more
interesting after the last bottle of wine has been opened, or after we’ve mixed
our grandmother her “final final” manhattan. After the “final final” we laugh
more, tell more interesting and possibly exaggerated stories, and we certainly
dance more. It is our hope to bring to your family or groups of friends the
enjoyment of the “final final.” Do you need the last glass? Maybe, maybe not.
Have the courage to find out. And always remember to enjoy our wines
with friends, because nobody likes to drink alone.
