"We knew these bottles would look amazing and be perfect for collectors and [ WWE ] fans alike but wanted the quality of the wine to ultimately be the real winner here,” said Wines That Rock winemaker Andrew Nelson. “For The Undertaker’s Limited-Edition 30 Barrel Series, we used 100 percent premium Cabernet Sauvignon from Lodi, California aged in oak. For The Ultimate Warrior, we looked to Mendocino County for a high quality, full-bodied and flavorful Zinfandel.”

Warrior (born James Brian Hellwig; June 16, 1959 – April 8, 2014) was an American professional wrestler," shares Wiki, "who most famously wrestled under the ring name The Ultimate Warrior for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) from 1987 to 1991 and again in 1992 and 1996."

Although WWE is officially based in Connecticut, the majority of their talent is based in California, so it made sense to partner with Lodi, California-based Wines That Rock.

"It was an amazing experience to collaborate with the team at Wines That Rock on this special Ultimate Warrior wine project,” said Dana Warrior, the former wife of The Ultimate Warrior, as well as a fellow pro wrestler and model. “From the quality of the wine to the unique bottle, label, and signature wax colors, it was clear they were committed to capturing Warrior's essence and honoring his legacy with impeccable attention to every detail.”

Each of these keepsake wines is available online at wwwewines.com and can be purchased separately or together. Bottles start at about $50 each in multi-packs.
