Wed Jan 28 2026
Wine and football have been on the same team for some time now, with notable players like Charles Woodson, Drew Bledsoe, and Dan Marino stepping into the world. Joining that lineup is Will Blackmon, former Super Bowl champion, 12-year NFL veteran, and founder of Blackmon Cellars and The Wine MVP. Will approached wine the same way he approached football: with total commitment. He immersed himself in education, mastering everything from vineyard farming to the business of wine, and on some days could be found tending vines straight after practice. Now, Will remains deeply focused on education—continuing to learn himself while sharing that knowledge with aspiring enthusiasts.
