Sports is the world’s #1 form of entertainment and Wine is a passion enjoyed by so many around the globe.
At Outside the Vines, we bring these two worlds together in a fun, relaxing environment. We “go deep” with our guests to see what makes Wine and Sports so special to them.
Outside the Vines...For the Love of Wine and the Thirst for Sports
NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan had his “Last Dance”. This episode is ours…with long-time winemaker of Jordan Wines, Rob Davis.
Rob holds the rare distinction of serving as winemaker at one winery for more than 40 years, joining Jordan just before the first harvest in 1976. In that time, he created voracious demand for Jordan's wines and still to this day loves being involved in winemaking as much as he did 40 years ago.
In this episode, Rob talks about his start in winemaking and learning from one of the most legendary winemakers ever, André Tchelistcheff.
He is also an avid swimmer, cyclist and runner, and he continues to compete in several triathlons each year.
So, grab yourself a bottle of Jordan (or whatever you might have ready to open) and enjoy the stories with Ted Robinson, Glenn Parker and long-time Jordan winemaker, Rob Davis

Episode 9 - The "Chosen" One
NBA World Champion and now founder of Chosen Family Wines Channing Frye joins the show.
Editor's note: Normally, I like to edit each show to have it flow like a true conversation between our hosts and guests. However, the minute I heard Channing’s passion for wine & sports & life, I decided to not edit much.
Within the first 30 seconds of Channing speaking, you’ll see why his passion for everything he does carries this episode.
This episode goes way beyond just wine and sports. Enjoy!

The Poetry of Pinot, The Zymolysis of Zin
One could argue, what Robert Mondavi meant to cabernet in California, Dan Kosta meant to pinot noirs in the state. He, along with partner Michael Browne started the iconic Kosta Browne Winery in 1997, with nothing more than an empty tip jar and a love of wine. During his time at Kosta Browne he made iconic pinot noirs which earned him numerous awards including Wine of the Year in 2011. After nearly 20 years with Kosta Browne, Dan started on a new solo venture, starting AldenAlli wines. In this episode, Dan shares his passion for pinots and his zest for zinfandel with Ted, Ashley and Glenn. The gang talks everything from wines, music and, of course, sports.
