It’s draft night! Seriously, the old beer and football pairing can suck it. This is how we do it at Grapefriend HQ.
The plan was to get some other people from my league over and ply them with tons of wine so that when the draft starts they’ll be wasted and I’ll be able to grab all of the players I want. I’d name them but they might be reading this. Anyway, the plan is in action!
OK gotta prep. It stresses me out. The wine helps.
And who’s psyched for Football Week??? Starts September 9, right here on grapefriend. Until then, you can read up on all the past Football Week fun:

I don’t belong to a league…I’m more of a college football gal, but I’m very excited for the new season of “The League” to start! You can bet I’ll be drinking wine while I watch it!
I love that show!!! Named a trophy on our league after Taco.
Do you drink 3 Penis wine?
Hahaha no but wait for Football Week! I think you’ll like one of the posts…
Ill keep an eye out for it!
Call me a traditionalist, but I just can’t do wine with football. It has to be beer.
Beer isn’t bad, but wine goes just as well with football food and viewing (and sometimes better)
Wine with chicken wings? I did a pairing challenge post on this and the consensus leaned towards beer. Just sayin’…

Beer isn’t bad, but Riesling is mindblowing! Sweet with spicy = amazing: https://grapefriend.com/2013/08/12/chateau-montelena-riesling-kung-pao-chicken-wings/
and I can’t do football with wine, us limeys can’t understand the thing! All the same, hope you enjoy yourselves guys
I say to each their own, but wine and football is now fully acceptable 🙂
Hooray! Wine & Fantasy are my favorite pairing 🙂
Ditto!
I love Fat Bastard. Hope the draft went well.
It did – got Peterson and Cam. Should be pretty good.
I enjoyed a lovely Cabernet Franc during my draft last night. Cheers to a fun season!
