Drew Bledsoe
Doubleback Vineyards
Football fan? Well, you probably know Drew Bledsoe… He is a former American football quarterback known for playing for 14 seasons in the National Football League (NFL), primarily with the New England Patriots. However, after more than 10 years of playing in the NFL, he gave up football for viticulture.
He opened his own winery in his hometown (Walla Walla, Washington), and although the winery doesn’t have a high-volume operation (he has only four vineyards), most wine lovers who live close by know that Bledsoe’s wine is priceless. In fact, people get on a waiting list to purchase his limited-run Cabernet Sauvignon.
