Wine deals on Queen Anne's Revenge

When it comes to pirates, Blackbeard, the scourge of the Carolina shores, was a scoundrel of the highest order, even to his flagship the Queen Anne’s Revenge. You can almost hear the creaking and cracking of her mighty timbers as you pour a glass of our complexly sweet, slightly tart Queen Anne’s Revenge red wine. 

This bold-bodied wine, with a bite at the end, shows up only once a year, and we’re celebrating its 2020 arrival with a new label and a Queen Anne’s Revenge Pirate Weekend of discounts and specials June 12 and 13. 

Run aground by her ruthless captain, some say deliberately, the Queen Anne’s Revenge was plundered and then abandoned by Blackbeard as the pirate scurried toward a royal pardon. The ship lay lost for 300 years, her many cannons silenced beneath 28 feet of water off Carteret County, N.C. 

The Queen Anne’s Revenge became the shadowy figure of late-night pirate tales told on moonlit shores where surf casters and beachcombers long-ago replaced scallywags like Blackbeard. Her mystery comes to life on our new Queen Anne’s Revenge label, which shows the legendary vessel whispering toward fiery red Hatteras shores.
