Washington’s Booming Wine Scene Featuring Drew Bledsoe


So many people reached out to request we have ex-NFL star Drew Bledsoe on the podcast and we totally understand why. Now an accomplished vintner, Drew first got into wine doing blind tastings with his Patriots teammates. He’d slide wines from his home state of Washington into the lineup and they would always beat the best from Bordeaux and Napa. That’s when the light bulb went off. “There was something different happening back in my hometown,” he told us—so he went all in. From farming practices and vineyards to Super Bowl picks and tips for drinking wine on a plane, this episode is not to be missed.
