Final Girl Wines is the passion project of husband and wife team Anna and Peter Lancucki. They were brought together from opposite ends of the earth by a mutual love of horror and wine.
Anna is an LA native with 20 years of winemaking experience in the Napa, Sonoma, Central Otago, Marlborough and Santa Barbara regions. Peter is a horror writer from Melbourne Australia. The met at a party in New Zealand where they talked about wine and what talents they would bring to a zombie apocalypse. They took a chance on each other and went on their first date in Fiji. Luckily, it ended up as a Rom Com rather than a horror story and they now live in Santa Barbara County. Pursuing what they love.
To find out more about Anna and Peterâs story, please check out the article below:
Final Girl wines are serious and unique, yet fun and unpretentious. As is the case with horror genre lovers, Anna and Pete love to find hidden gems among the vineyards of Santa Barbara County. Employing winemaking techniques that span the traditional and natural wine worlds. It is an opportunity for Anna to display her creative winemaking flair, outside her day job as a winemaker at a renowned American wine company.
Before diving into the offer, here are some of our horror movie recommendations:
The Vineyard (1989) - Of course we had to. A good fun time for wine lovers who love a little cheese with their wine.
Communion (1989) - Annaâs first and features a Christopher Walken being harassed by little green men.
Warlock (1989) - Peterâs first and a great example of how the use of Latin can be scary.
Blackcoats Daughter (2015) - Peteâs new recommendation for a good slow burn and was made in part by one of our wineclub members.
Scream (2022) - Annaâs recommendation is to see it in an old drive in theatre like we did.
