Daniel Boone Holiday Gift Basket

Los Olivos, CA; October 25, 2006- Do you know someone who used to run around in that iconic coonskin cap? If so, the Fess Parker Daniel Boone gift basket, available at www.fessparker.com, may be the perfect holiday gift. The Daniel Boone series recently released on DVD after the 40th anniversary of the popular series debut in 1964. The series stars Fess Parker—the legendary actor who many say was one of the first actors to enter American living rooms through the glare of the TV screen. Parker now lives in Los Olivos, California where he and his family own and manage the Fess Parker Winery and Vineyard.

Baby boomers love wine, statistically they have the highest percentage of wine purchase and consumption of any other generational group. They grew up with Daniel Boone, and for them this should be an enjoyable reminiscence. Included in the Daniel Boone Holiday gift basket, along with the Season One DVD, are two bottles of award-winning wine straight from Fess Parker’s vineyard—The highly popular Frontier Red Lot 51 and the stylish 2004 Santa Barbara County Chardonnay. To accompany that glass of wine, two Snickers’ bars (Fess’ favorite!) and a bag of Urban Accents Ruby Popcorn. And to satisfy that big kid wearing the coonskin-cap, one of the bottles of wine is topped with its own small, coonskin cap! Sold separately the items together would retail for 98, but this gift basket is available for $79.99.

Fess Parker and his family have welcomed several impressive accolades on behalf of their winery and vineyard in Santa Barbara County, which was established in 1989 by Fess and his son Eli. Originally intending to sell their fruit to local producers, the Fess Parker Winery subsequently expanded from its initial 5 ½ acres home property to over 300 acres in several key vineyards throughout the Santa Barbara County area including Santa Rita Hills, and Santa Ynez Valley where their home and Camp 4 vineyards are located. These prestigious awards garnered by the Parkers acknowledge the passion and hard work of a tight-knit family run winery. The winery is run by Fess Parker’s son, Eli Parker as President, Director of Winery and Vineyard Operations, daughter Ashley Parker Snider as VP of Marketing and Public Relations, and son-in-law Tim Snider who is the winery’s General Manager and Vice President of Sales and Marketing. www.fessparker.com
