The Semi Q Red Blend and The Semi Q White Blend will be available online for direct-to-consumer shipping starting on April 23, with only 250 cases of each produced.

The Semi Q White Blend ($45, 750ml, 13.4% ABV) is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne, and Sémillon, offering a bright, mineral-driven expression with notes of honeydew, melon, honeysuckle, crushed white flowers, and wet stone.

What they’re saying

“This country was shaped not only by ideas, but around tables—in conversation, in community, and over wine. The Founding Fathers gathered in taverns, raising glasses of Madeira and Claret as they debated the future of our nation. With our Tasting Room located just outside Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, it felt only fitting to celebrate this historic milestone in a meaningful way.”

— Allison Owen, Founder and President, Turks Head Wines

What’s next

Turks Head Wines plans to host a special 250th anniversary celebration at their West Chester Tasting Room on April 23, 2026, the same day the limited-edition wines become available for online purchase.

The takeaway

Turks Head Wines is tapping into the patriotic sentiment surrounding America's 250th birthday by releasing two special anniversary wine blends that connect the brand's Pennsylvania roots to the nation's founding history.
