So, sports-themed wine is a thing.
The back story: With the coronavirus pandemic putting nearly all sporting events on hold, fans are looking for an alternative. Say, watching reruns of classic baseball games. Or listening to sports-radio hosts talk about Will Ferrell movies.Vineyard 36 is a label created by two now-retired National Hockey League players, Cam Ward and Tim Gleason . Both developed an appreciation for wine when they played and traveled together.
Vineyard 36 has clearly found a market: Most of the label’s current releases — the 2017 vintage — are sold out, though select retailers may have a bottle or two. The label produces 10,000 bottles annually. What we think about them: These are good, if slightly expensive wines that speak to what Napa can offer. The Foundation Red Blend , heavy on the Merlot, stood out for its velvety structure and genteel fruitiness. The label says you should pick up notes of Bing cherries, sandalwood and clove.
How to enjoy them: These are wines made for a meaty meal. The Vineyard 36 suggests pairing the Foundation with veal chops or beef Wellington, for example.
