The highly limited first drop features a three-bottle set and exclusive seven-inch vinyl
On National Drink Wine Day, Train announces they are taking their award-winning portfolio of wine to the next level with a new partnership with Gestalt Wines. Based in Napa Valley – close to home for Train – and led by the legendary Dave Phinney (mastermind behind The Prisoner & Orin Swift) and the insanely talented winemaker Sebastian Lane, together they’ve created something truly special. Save Me, San Francisco Red is more than just a wine – it’s a collaboration between Gestalt and Train frontman Pat Monahan, blending a shared passion for great wine, music, and making a difference.
For nearly 15 years, Train has been crafting award-winning wines, not just for the love of it, but to support Family House. Founded in 1981, Family House serves as a free home away from home for families in San Francisco with children undergoing treatment for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses by providing support, comfort and community.
This 2023 California Cabernet-based blend from Napa and Sonoma counties is bold yet inviting, with classic Cabernet tannins, rich dark berry flavors, and a subtle spice on the finish. It’s a wine meant for sharing, a reminder that the best moments in life are the ones we spend together – glass in hand, music playing, making memories.
To celebrate the epic partnership, the highly limited first drop features an exclusive, special edition three-bottle box set of Save Me, San Francisco Red – one incredible wine with three different labels, each a tribute to the city that inspired it all with original artwork featuring iconic San Francisco sites and easter eggs.
Each box also comes with a rare limited release seven-inch pressing of “Save Me, San Francisco,” which will not be available anywhere else. The vinyl includes “Save Me, San Francisco” on side A and previously unreleased track “Underneath the Dogwood Tree” on side B.
The not-to-be-missed first drop is available for purchase now and ships immediately.
Coinciding with the new partnership, Train has also announced an ultra-rare, collector’s edition Save Me, San Francisco 12-inch Winyl – records pressed on clear vinyl filled with real wine from Train’s new Save Me, San Francisco Red. Only 100 will be made with the shipment announcement coming soon.
“For almost 15 years, Train has been involved in making wine that is sourced and made in Northern California. My obsession with wine and my even deeper passion for contributing to Family House, an incredible place that houses and cares for so many very sick children and their families, has truly made it all a labor of love. In all these years we’ve never been more excited about wine, partnership and continuing to bring world class wine to those who want to make special memories while helping so many,” shares Train’s Pat Monahan.
Train is fresh off the heels of their incredible eighth sold-out Sail Across The Sun cruise, which sailed February 13-17, 2025 from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico. In addition to three completely unique live sets from Train alongside an all-star lineup of artists, cruisers were treated to an exclusive first look at the new wine offering.
Next up, Train is heading overseas for a run of headline shows across Australia and New Zealand this May, followed by performances in Europe and the UK throughout June and July. The band kicks off their 2025 North American summer tour on Friday, August 1st in Camdenton, Missouri and will make stops in over 27 cities before concluding on September 17th in Seattle.
And now, we’re taking it to the next level.
