DOBSON, N.C. — Two well-known North Carolina families have partnered to celebrate the legacy of a racing icon.

Shelton Vineyards and NASCAR legend Richard Petty recently unveiled a premium red wine blend labeled Icon.

The limited release is only available at Shelton Vineyards while supplies last. Icon comes packaged in a collector’s box and is available in both standard ($55) and magnum ($150).
