Super Bowl 2025: If NFL Stars Were Iconic Wines

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a gridiron battle, and while everyone else is obsessing over touchdowns, we’re over here swirling our glasses and talking tannins. Let’s pair the game’s biggest stars with a few wine legends because, just like a fine wine, these players are bold, unforgettable, and crash your salary cap ... Lets GO!

Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs, QB)

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (Burgundy, FR)

Patrick Mahomes is the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti of football—a once in a generation talent, expensive, but worth every penny. Like DRC, Mahomes has that somethin somethin that leaves fans in awe. His throws are poetry, and DRC’s wines are liquid art. Both are the ultimate flex that’ll make your friends, family, lovers, former lovers, jealous at your next dinner party.

Travis Kelce (Chiefs, TE)

Screaming Eagle (Napa Valley, CA)

Travis Kelce is the All-American dream - big, bold, and always the life of the party. Enter Screaming Eagle, Napa Valley’s rockstar Cabernet Sauvignon. Just like Kelce dominates defenders, Screaming Eagle dominates wine auctions, bank accounts, and pop stars alike. And when either one shows up, you know you are at the right place.

Chris Jones (Chiefs, DT)

Penfolds Grange (Barossa Valley, AU)

Chris Jones is pure, unfiltered power - like this Australian Shiraz blend that breaks down your taste buds and takes no prisoners. Penfolds Grange isn't a wine that glides across your palate; it stomps. And Jones? He bulldozes through offensive lines like they’re made of cardboard.

Andy Reid (Chiefs, Head Coach)

Château d’Yquem (Sauternes, FR)

Andy Reid is sweet, strategic, and layered - just like a glass of Château d’Yquem. Don’t let the charm fool you; behind that handle bar mustache lies a mastermind with a playbook as complex as the next Severance episode. Yquem doesn’t just age well; it thrives over time, just like Reid’s career.

Jalen Hurts (Eagles, QB)

Dominus Estate (Napa Valley, CA)

Jalen Hurts is the Dominus of football - a perfect blend of power, finesse, and timeless old school class. Like Dominus, he’s rooted in dad joke energy but built for the modern game. Hurts’ ability to dominate with both his arm and his legs is like Dominus’ ability to balance Bordeaux-style structure with Napa’s bold fruit. Both are classics in the making.

AJ Brown (Eagles, WR)

Krug Grande Cuvée (Champagne, FR)

AJ Brown is as complex and dynamic as Krug Grande Cuvée - a Champagne that’s a blend of over 120 different wines from more than 10 vintages. Just like Krug, Brown is a masterpiece of layers, depth, and precision. Whether he’s breaking tackles or making jaw-dropping catches, Brown leaves a lasting impression. And let’s not forget, he’s always working on his mental game, spotted reading Inner Excellence on the sidelines. Talk about a player who’s as refined off the field as he is on it.

Saquon Barkley (Eagles, RB)

Château Latour (Bordeaux, FR)

Saquon Barkley is the Latour of football - structured, powerful, and undeniably sexy. Known as the most consistent First Growth and often the most flamboyant of the Bordeaux elite, Latour’s are almost always described as “legends in the making”, just like Barkley. After a jaw-dropping 2,000-yard season, Barkley has proven again he’s worth the hype. Latour, with its timeless elegance and sheer dominance, is the perfect match for a player who’s redefining what it means to be a running back.

Nick Sirianni (Eagles, Head Coach)

Sine Qua Non (Central Coast, CA)

Nick Sirianni doesn’t do “normal,” and neither does Sine Qua Non. SQN rewrites the rules with every vintage, much like Sirianni’s bold play-calling keeps defenses guessing. Both are unpredictable, unconventional, seemingly full of booz, and impossible to ignore—and that’s exactly why they hold our attention.

Kendrick Lamar (Halftime Performer)

Keller (Rheinhessen, DE)

Kendrick Lamar is the Keller of halftime shows—quietly flexing while the world catches up. Like Keller’s dry Riesling, it’s not as loudly hyped as Bordeaux or Burgundy, but one taste, and you’re in for life. Grown on limestone-dominated soils, Keller’s Rieslings have earned comparisons to Burgundy’s Grand Crus for their unmatched power and precision. Kendrick’s lyrics are stacked with meaning, much like Keller’s crystal-clear, fresh, and reductive nose bursting with lime, citrus, and insane complexity. Both pack a punch and electric energy that sneaks up and stays with you. They’re made for people in the know—and if you know, you know.
