Enjoy Kickoff with The Paso Robles Wine Club |
As the kickoff for Super
Bowl 50 nears, people all along California’s
Central Coast are preparing their menus and choosing which wines to serve
from their Paso Robles Wine Club shipments, but not many people know that one
of our local winemakers is a former Super Bowl star himself, with football
roots that run deep.
TH Estate Wines is located just off the 46 in Paso Robles in
the Willow Creek AVA. Owners Jennifer and Terry Hoage, were drawn to the
Central Coast and after discovering a beautiful piece of land to farm, they
never looked back. Planting a vineyard and making wine, while often
romanticized, is risky business, but for Terry Hoage, a former NFL safety, it
was a risk he was willing to take.
Terry Hoage’s NFL career spanned 13 seasons, during which he
played on six teams—The New Orleans Saints, The Washington Redskins, The
Philadelphia Eagles, The San Francisco 49ers, The Houston Oilers, and the
Arizona Cardinals. In 1992, it was with the Washington Redskins that he won a
Super Bowl.
TH Estate Wines produce some of the best
wines on the Central Coast. In fact, they were even given a nod of approval by
Robert Parker who said, “This is the kind of wine the Central Coast should be
producing more.”
TH Estate Wines are Rhone-style wines. Many of them have
names that pay homage to Terry Hoage’s football career, including:
Skins:
Grenache
The Pick:
Grenache Cuvee
5 Blocks:
Syrah Cuvee
The Hedge:
Syrah
The 46:
Grenahce-Syrah
No matter who you want to see win Super Bowl 50, it’s a good
bet that if you pick up a bottle or two to share with friends this Super Bowl
weekend, you’ll be the real winner. To enjoy tasting the wines of Paso Robles
