Larry Bird wine? Can't wait to see the Journal Gazette's critics review it. Can't top this:
If athletes want their fans to support their ventures into wine making, they must insist each bottle truly captures who and what they are.
For instance, the Larry Bird Chardonnay that is set for release next month should be described this way: "Surprisingly good for a white. However, those who don't tend to enjoy whites may find it to be extremely overrated. It looks somewhat bland and unexciting at first glance, but once uncorked it exhibits characteristics that belie its somewhat disgusting appearance. Be sure to drink within 10 years because it ages horribly."
Reminds me of a joke I heard around the time of the O.J. Simpson trial. Word was, they were going to make a movie about the case, "featuring John Elway as the slow, white Bronco."
