In 1999, when the first bottle of his Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet was produced, Coach Dick Vermeil was hooked. Like all of his endeavors, whether it was football, broadcasting or wine - the Vermeil-ism of surrounding yourself with capable people and you will be a success still rings true. Coach Vermeil is the number one salesman, a fact he is proud of.  Today, Vermeil wines offers 11 different wines in Napa Valley, not far from where he grew up.

Terry Hoage is one of the few safeties in the NFL to have scored a touchdown - his only one. What’s rarer still, he scored while he was playing with the Eagles - at the height of Buddy Ball. After dabbling with several post retirement careers, Terry and his wife, Jennifer, moved their family to Paso Robles, on the central California coast. It was on the piece of property where they started TH Estate where they produce Rhone-style wines. Terry tells Derrick he is having fun and every wine name has a double meaning - one from Terry’s football career and one from his wine-making life! 

Colleen Wolfe and Ross Tucker have it out as they go they try to decide which is the better beverage: beer or wine.
