Petri Wine

Petri Wine is a family-run vineyard in San Francisco, California, United States.

[2] During prohibition, the Petri family closed down their wineries, sold their 250,000 gallons worth of stock,[3] and used those profits to become involved in other industries, especially making Italian leather goods[2] and cigars.

[3] After the repeal of prohibition, the Petri family used their profits from these enterprises to purchase a number of competing wineries.

[1] Petri Wine sponsored the popular radio show, The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes from 1943 until 1946, when Basil Rathbone left the show and was replaced by Tom Conway, when the clothing company Clipper Craft became the new sponsor, and much later Kreml Hair Tonic for Men.

Petri Wine also sponsored the popular radio show, The Casebook of Gregory Hood (1946–1951).
