The award-winning winery pays homage to the war-time staple on Veterans Day weekend.
Plymouth, CA (October 7, 2023) – In honor of Veterans, Andis Wines is giving away Sh*t on a Shingle over Veterans Day weekend to all past and active military. Veterans can also take advantage of complimentary tastings for two and 20 percent off wine purchases.
Andis Wines founding partner, Andy Friedlander, is a Marine and has special memories of this mess hall staple — S.O.S.
“Almost anyone who served in the military or grew up in a military family has fond memories of this simple dish,” said Andy Friedlander.
S.O.S. is a retro war-time recipe made with chipped beef on toast and white gravy, which were easy ingredients to find when rations were low. Although Andis Wines’ is paying homage to this classic dish, the winery is sprucing it up with locally-made sourdough bread and freshly sliced corned beef.
“The name may seem unglamorous, but its ingredients are quite French so we wanted to take it up a notch to pair well with our wines,” Friedlander said.
Non-military guests can order a plate for $10 per person. Andis Wines will offer S.O.S. plates from Nov. 10th through Nov. 12th. starting at 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. The winery is located at 11000 Shenandoah Road in Plymouth.
