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.
