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.

Chad Pennington in Muttontown, Estate of the Day

Laura Mann of Newsday reported last month that Jets quarterback Chad Pennington had put his house on Long Island on the market but I think recent news makes today a fine chance to discuss this one. The quarterback, who just lost his job to the man who can't retire, Brett Favre, has a home in Muttontown, New York that he is eager to sell.

I would not have guessed that this six bedroom brick Colonial belonged to a celebrity and certainly not a sports celeb until I saw the huge fitness area. Pennington's pad is a 7,000 square foot home on over two acres that include a Gunite pool and a four-car garage. It's a rather bland but certainly expensive family home with details like a billiards room, master suite with a fireplace and what looks to be a coffee bar. Overall it looks freshly outfitted from a high end furniture store right down to the window treatments. Pennington bought the house in 2005 for $3.595 million. It first hit the market for $4.095 million a month ago but is now down to $3.995 million as Pennington clearly wants to get out of town.
