Peter Sichel, American spy-turned-winemaker, dies at 102

From TODAY.

Peter Sichel, a World War II spy and acclaimed vintner, has died as 102. Sichel was a German refugee living in New York City when he volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. He eventually moved through the ranks at the CIA before resigning in 1959 and joined his family’s wine business where he focused on Blue Nun, a wine bottle that went on to sell millions of cases during its peak. Sunday TODAY’s Willie Geist remembers a life well lived.
