Do you drink Wine when you watch Football?
Well, some of you Nancys obviously do…fess up.






"WFL" Wine Football League will be Revealed on 9-10-12



September 4, 2012- The WFL, Wine Football League will be announced to the public on Monday September 10, 2012 prior to the season-opener double header of Monday Night Football on ESPN.

The Wine Football League or the WFL is not a pro football league that is looking to rival the NFL. It's a creative "Football & Wine" marketing campaign created by The Wine'tastic Mile of Baltimore and Dunkadelic Sports Marketing.

The NFL is composed of 32 teams in 31 U.S. cities. The WFL will give each team a wine themed nickname to help promote the "Football & Wine" culture with the NFL. It's for wine lovers to follow their favorite teams with a wine inspired nickname.

There seems to be a never ending amount of beer commercials during the NFL regular-season and playoffs. Wine is never mentioned, but there are millions of NFL fans who enjoy watching games with a nice Cabernet or Chardonnay says, Derrick E. Vaughan the creator of the WFL.

When you go to a big-time steakhouse or upscale seafood restaurant during games or after games you see the wine drinkers enjoying their wine with a 20 oz. cowboy ribeye or grilled branzino fish, Vaughan continues.

The idea came to Vaughan a sports guru while he was thinking about the 40th Anniversary of the 1972 Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were the last NFL franchise to go undefeated for an entire season and during the playoffs in 1972.

Chris Berman of ESPN would say each year after the last NFL team would taste defeat the '72 Dolphins are popping the champagne realizing that their record of 17-0 still stands for another year.

I'm always up for a good grenache, too. I used to be into real jammy syrahs, but gimme something smokey nowadays and I'm fine. The thing is, most of the time, I'm drinking wine just for the wine. I'm not drinking it with dinner at all, so I want something that tastes great as a stand alone.
I'm actually the same way. I drink much more wine without food than with.

It's a little pricier, but Benton Lane's Pinot Noir is hella good - $25 or so per bottle.

Damn - I love me some port. I don't have a full cellar either, just the fridge where we keep some italian bottles that my wife has collected (she's from italy) and some nicer bottles that we're keeping until 2016 or later.

I love collecting wine. There's such a satisfaction with buying a really nice bottle and just keeping it. not as much as fun as drinking it, but patience pays off.

That's about what I pay for a bottle of Elk Cove.

Benton Lane Pinot Noir:
"Very deep and complex aromas of Bing cherries, graham cracker pie crust, mushrooms and blackberries just leap from the glass. In the mouth blueberries, red raspberries and baked strawberries are ripe and viscous. This is a wine of tremendous depth and nuance."

I'll look for this tomorrow. Thanks.

Several years ago, I found several 2000 vintage bottles of port for cheap - like $30 apiece. I bought five or six of 'em and stored them. Over the years, I've opened a few and have really enjoyed the experience and how the wines have matured - I think I have three left. Supposedly should be at its peak in 2015, so will save the rest for then.

What you mean by "sweet." Most wines are dry from a winemaker's perspective. Dry to a winemaker means the process has fermented all the available sugar. Only wines that have been intentionally stopped short of full fermentation by too high alcohol (port, for instance) or have sugar added back in are "sweet" wines. Do you mean fruity - like a Riesling - where the wine is very fruit forward?

As for my favorites, I can find something to like about a bunch of wines, save the Sauvignon Blanc. Just not a fan.

I'm a huge fan of big, bold Shiraz, Syrah and Zinfandel. My favorite wine of the moment is Michael David's Earthquake Zinfandel. Holy crap that's good.

While I'll drink Cabernet Sauvignon - it's the aroma and taste that to me just screams "this is what red wine is all about" - it's not one of my favorites. For a lighter drink, I like Pinot Noir a lot, and I've been on a Pinot kick lately.

For a hot day, light meal (salad, seafood), I really like the crispness and acidity of a Riesling or Chardonnay.

I've only recently started being able to taste some of the winemakers' notes. This weekend I was drinking a Shiraz for for the first time actually was aware of vanilla from the oak. That was really exciting for me. And it very well might have been due to the fact that earlier that day I had actually tasted raw vanilla, so that flavor and aroma was very familiar.
You are much farther along with your understanding and appreciation of wine than I am, and my boss owns a winery. But that makes a lot of sense at it is consistent with your in depth appreciation of food.

The bosses husband has shared a lot wine with us, as he is totally obsessed with collecting it. He has several thousand bottles, and a huge wine cellar.

Riesling is one I don't like, almost any of the whites come across too sweet for me. I did fall in love with "Opus Conundrum" a while back, an amazing white that I ended up buying a case of.

I have a wine dyed T-Shirt that says "friends don't let friends drink white zinfandel."

I typically buy several bottles of a cab I enjoy, and keep it in the wine cabinets until it is 5 to 6 years old. I did enjoy a 7 year old bottle of my favorite "Freemark Abbey" when Herm got the axe.

Yes, it was. And thanks!! I've actually made a lateral move since then, too. Now I'm doing much more traveling and working directly with our companies on digital and broadcast technology. Lots of fun.
