When first released on March 27, 2001, Train’s career-defining album, Drops of Jupiter, debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 and broke the band to multi-platinum status thanks to the double GRAMMY Award-winning title song that spent 10 months in the Top 40, has been certified 6x platinum in the US, and earned the 2001 GRAMMY Award for Best Rock Song. With sales of more than 2 million copies worldwide in the first year alone and certified 2x platinum in the US and Canada, the album remains the group's best-selling to date.
Train frontman Pat Monahan reflects on making the album:
“Making the album Drops of Jupiter was one of the highlights of my career and I’m sure it’s the same for the others involved. From desperately trying to write songs that matter, to finally landing on a gem and having Chuck Leavell play piano on it and having Paul Buckmaster arrange the strings, it was a whirlwind of tragedy and beauty. The song itself came shortly after the loss of mother and I’m sure that she wrote it with me in a living room in Erie, PA. This album took us around the world many times and opened our eyes and hearts to the world, filling room after arena with love and full voice sing togethers. What a magical time. What a magical record to be a part of. Still in a state of gratitude. Thank you all for making it as special as it is even to this day.”

Following the special 20th anniversary release of Drops of Jupiter, Train is celebrating 10 years of their award-winning portfolio of California wines, Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co, with the debut of a limited reserve 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. Created in 2011 to bring to life the band's passion for connecting with friends and fans through music and wine, Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co. has sold over 10 million bottles and won over 100 medals.
The exclusive, new Cabernet will continue to support Family House, a non-profit organization providing temporary housing to families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses receiving treatment at the University of California San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital.
Sign up to the allocation list by April 4, 2021 at 11:59pm PT to have the first chance at buying the 2018 Limited Reserve Cab on April 5th before it’s available to the general public. Only 200 cases made! https://www.savemesanfranciscowineco.com/allocation
Of the upcoming launch, Pat says:
“Over 10 years ago, Train partnered with winemaker James Foster to make a great Northern California red wine to support Family House and to give wine lovers a great taste of the Bay Area. Here we are today celebrating 10 years of Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co. and also coincidentally 20 years of Drops of Jupiter. Now, after selling 10 million bottles of the many different Save Me, San Francisco varietals, it’s time to go BIG! We’re very excited to announce our first Limited Reserve. It’s a 2018 Cab from Monterey...a big, beautiful ready to drink Cabernet Sauvignon. James and I are so excited about this wine that we thought about keeping it to ourselves but that’s like holding on to a song that should be heard over and over again. There was only enough juice to make 200 cases so they will be gone very quickly. Don’t miss out on this very limited chance to get some of this very limited Cabernet. You can give me a thank you hug as soon as we can all be together again.”
