Jets Uncorked, A Toast To Next Season

Filed under: Wine, Sports

We're still a few months from football season but New York Jets fans can plan for next season by pre-ordering a new commemorative wine, a 2008 cabernet sauvignon called Jets Uncorked. The wine was created as part of the effort to celebrate the new Meadowlands Stadium. The wine was made at the Girard Winery in Yountville, California. The wine was created by winemaker Marco DiGiulio and is described as having ripe flavors of red cherries, currants and berries with supple tannins, a touch of oak and a long spicy finish. Around 8,000 cases were made and the wine will be served in some local restaurants come September and is available on the Jets website for August delivery. The label includes a drawing of an actual play run by the Jets in a game. The wine is available for $27.99 for 750 ml, a 1.5 l liter magnum is $56.99.

While the phrase "Enter to win!" is often accompanied by eyerolling and a lesson in probability, when it comes to the 2008 Sub-Zero Dream Kitchen -- and dreamy it is, complete with sleek sub-zero fridge, freeze and wine storage alongside $2,000 worth of gourmet goodies from Dean & Deluca, Wolf dual range, Kohler kitchen gear ... the list goes on -- the words just may inspire a foodie frenzy. Until July 31, enter here if you aspire to cook and entertain in this kitchen-for-the-gods (did we mention ambrosia flows freely from those Kohler products? And there is a subscription to the Windsor Sonoma Wine Club?). Winners of the $50,000 in kitchen booty will be notified August 3. I hope I'm invited to your first dinner party.
