Now that football season is over, its time for Boston sports fans to focus their full attention on the Celtics. This guide will help even the most die-hard C's fan become a fan of Pinots, Cabs, and Bordeaux.

PG Rajon Rando, The Carneros Pinot Noir

Young and all defense (structure) makes me think of the Carneros Pinot Noirs. Adding to my argument is Rando’s fragile build. The Carneros Pinot Noirs are starting to turn heads around the world as a new premier Pinot region and Rando is turning heads in NBA circles as well.

SG Paul Pierce, The Central Coast Sirah

Fat and powerful, Paul Pierce can hold his own against the NBA’s best defenders and has the strength to get to the whole at will. Central Coast Sirah’s are that good with a ton of fat and blubber from the California Sun. The Central Coast Sirah’s have been positively noted in wine circles for the last ten years and can stand up to best southern French wines made primarily from Sirah as well.

SF Ray Allen, The Aged Cabernet Franc

Ray Allen is a little bit past his prime and has a game built on finesse outside shooting. Cali Cab Fanc’s, once the secret blending grape of Bordeaux, are now producing structured wines with just enough flesh to hold their own. The Cali Franc’s are known for their backbone and aging potential.

PF Kevin Garnett, The Napa Cabernet Sauvignon

Kevin Garnett is that good. NBA fans knew it when he was in Minnesoata and fans are now seeing how he has enough in his tank to take a team like the Celt’s to the championship. Like Kevin, the Napa Cabernet Sauvignon’s are arguably the world’s best. They go with any meal and have the longest tail of any wines of the world.

C Big Baby, The Lodi Zinfandel

This is too easy.

The Zin’s of Lodi are blubbery and young. Very powerful with the alcohol and almost too much dark fruit flavor that makes them hard to pair with any meal. Like Big Baby on draft day, the Lodi Zin’s are often disregarded by international wine snobs. Lodi Zin’s are loved by almost all young wine drinkers.
