THE STORY
THE CREATORS
Shin and Yuko Kibayashi — writing as Tadashi Agi — created Drops of God, the manga credited with raising wine sales in Japan by over 20% and changing how a continent drinks. Forbes called it legendary.
This is not a licensing deal. They found Saffron Vineyard on Mt. Veeder, fell in love with it, and made the wine they always imagined. 600 bottles exist. No second vintage is guaranteed.
