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 really not, I just like good stuff, but it's not like I only eat great food. Seriously, on Friday I drank a glass of $10 Pinot Noir with a Marie Calendar's beef pot pie.

If you are ever in Southern California, I highly recommend dropping by this place. It is well worth the time, and they will ship it for you.

Paul Zimmerman (Dr. Z) was/might still be a big wine connoisseur, though I don't know if he drank while watching football. I say go for it. It's never a bad time for some vino.

Riesling is one of those wines that can be very confusing and easy to get an off-dry if you don't know their labeling conventions. Look specifically for the word "Trocken" (halbtrocken or any other variation will be some level of off-dry) if you want a dry wine. There are also several levels of ripeness the grapes are harvested at that affect the body of the wine.

FMB, re: Sauv Blanc I've found I much prefer the old world styles to the new world (but that's the case with just about every varietal for me); by far most of the SBs I see are the New Zealand wines that are just punch you in the mouth with tart fruit and acidity. I like them when I'm in the mood for them or with spicy food and seafood. I tend to prefer, and you might like these better as well, SBs from the Loire Valley. Cooler-climate than the NZ/Chilean/etc. wines, so to me they're much more subtle and balanced. You still get the minerality and a lot of the same fruit profiles just in (IMO) a nicer package.

Alsacian rieslings - gewurztraminer - are incredible. They are generally of the off-dry (halbtrocken or "half dry") variety but the sweetness is more subtle.

Agreed, they are outstanding. Trockens from the Alsace can be hard to find, but they're some of my favorites.

I used to live in the Schwabenland, east of Stuttgart.

We spent a lot of vacation time near Colmar, France. Alsace has a pretty special place in my psyche...at least from what I can remember.
