Fess Parker was a TV icon of the 1950s and '60s who later helped Santa Barbara raise its profile as a world-class wine region. The Texas-born Parker first made his name during the dawn of the TV era playing Davy Crockett, serialized on the popular Disneyland show. Parker and the show became so popular in the mid-1950s that boys across America wore his trademark coonskin cap. Parker followed that in the 1960s with a successful run on TV's Daniel Boone. In 1989, the Parker family began planting vineyards and today farms more than 300 acres and continues to make wine under the Fess Parker label. The Parker family run with its wine has been as successful as Davy Crockett. The 2009 was the last vintage before Parkers death. WS gave the 2009 Chardonnay 87 points and described complex and creamy, with spicy pear, tropical fruit, mineral and sage. Full-bodied, intense and vibrant. Drink now through 2015. Truly a bit of Americana in a glass!
