Wines by Professional Athletes: 3 Labels from Sports Stars
Professional athletes love wine too, and a few love it so much they make their own. Here are three wine labels from sports stars you can buy on Wine.com: Drew Bledsoe's Doubleback, Jim Nantz's The Calling and Domaine Curry from Ayesha Curry and Sydel Curry Lee.
Former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe started Doubleback as an homage to returning home to the Walla Walla Valley. The wines' premium, estate-driven qualities reflect that care.
