Silky finish with notes of oak and a hint of… BLITZ? 😂🍷⚡

We asked the Golden State Storm players to describe our wines. They had… a different approach. 🏈

St. Francis Winery & Vineyards is PROUD to be the official sponsor of the Storm's inaugural season — and honestly? After this tasting, we might need them to translate our tasting notes into football terms permanently. 🏆

📍 Planning a trip to Sonoma? Come visit us at the winery and taste the wines that even football players can’t stop talking about.

🏈 And if you haven’t seen the Storm play yet — add it to your list! Check out Golden State Storm for their upcoming season schedule!

💬 We want to hear from YOU — describe a wine you love using ONLY football terms. Best answer wins our eternal respect. 🏆👇
