It was actually Fess Parker who just passed away. :) Below is a link to his winery.
Heres a bit of his tv or movie show...starts right up!

I missed the "his" Chardonnay in that sentence. My apologies
Maybe a glass of that for the memorial, and that Good Tennessee whiskey for the memory of those he portrayed, while sitting by a fire contemplating our own mortality? Given that Fess Parker was a native of Ft. Worth Texas, the sipping whiskey would not be inappropriate anyway.
