Help me identify wines/wineries connected with sports figures

WINE TALK
1

So my son’s school is doing their annual fundraiser party/auction with a sports theme and I want to donate a mixed case or two of wine following that theme. Can you help me identify wines or wineries that are connected to sports figures. The few I know about already are:

Greg Norman
Dick Vermeil
Terry Hoage
Mario Andretti
Fleming Jenkins
Montagia
Arnold Palmer
Jeff Gordon

Who am I missing?

Thanks very much!

Greg

Rusty Staub made a wine called something like “Le Grande Orange” at one point, but I can’t find it on wine searcher now.

BTW Ben Folds has a song called “Sports And Wine”!

Miner works with a lot of hockey folks too. Maybe Dietz can chime in.

Thanks everyone - very helpful!

Holy crap - $150 a bottle and prior vintages have sold out! [scratch.gif] I guess Packer fans will buy anything. Or maybe it’s that good.
