Wine Diva-isms

But of Course, its all so obvious...
 

Kicking-ass with steak sauce, cheese spread and now wine!

Mike Ditka (formerly Da coach of the Chicago Bears) has joined forces with a California winery and will begin shipping five Ditka wines this week.

Apparently Ditka's wife loves Pinot Grigio-so of course he's running interference to prevent a penalty with that one, but there will also be a Merlot in the same point spread. For a few dollars and yards more ($15-$17) you can hitch and go a  Chardonnay or a Cabernet Sauvignon and if you want to score a touchdown you'll want to indulge in the Kick Ass Red (Zin, Petit Syrah and Syrah) for $40-$50 USD. 
The wines are described by a  Chicago based buyer as "very user-friendly" with " a lot of fruit" .

For those of you in the US, next time you are in Costco be sure to pick up some Ditka wines to go with your Ditka frozen pork chops, Ditka steak sauces and Ditka cheese spread.

Someone give me a heads up if they arrive in Canada. I wouldn't want to be off-side and as you know I have an overabundance of anti-snobbish curiosity!
