According to his own account, Harry Allen Smith, a famous journalist and humorist in the thirties was the first American to legally consume alcohol after the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. He claimed to have bribed a telegraph operator to send a “three-click” advance warning just before sending out the message that Prohibition had been repealed. With this notice, he was able to take the first legal drink after the repeal. We honor the ingenuity of that very first legal drink with this bottle of wine.
