“I Will Plant You into the Turf if You Make Me Drink Any @#$%! Merlot!”
The NFL and wine tasting; doesn’t exactly go together like Kibbles ‘n Bits, does it? Yet low and behold, check out Patriots DE Jarvis Green’s website. He is hosting a Wine Tasting Gala at the Johnson & Wales Inn in Seekonk, MA on June 1st, with proceeds going to victims of hurricane Katrina. Green is orginially from Thibodaux, Louisiana, and appears to have found a rather unique way to help out people from his hometown state…
Although there are others in the NFL that have dabbled with wine. Giants coach Tom Coughlin hosts an annual Wine Tasting Gala as a fund raiser for The Jay Fund. And Michael Vick has opened a restaurant called the Tasting Room in Atlanta.
(Of course, Michael might want to curtail some of his other entrepreneurial endeavors.)
NFL, Wine Tasting, I like Pinot Noir, mmmm…fruitilicious

I wonder if those wines will hit hard at first, rest for a few minutes, then be replaced by a bigger, better wine..
