All-star wines for the NHL All-Star Game

Published January 26, 2011 5:00am ET



In the world of sports, North Carolina is probably better known for NASCAR than it is for professional ice hockey, but last April the National Hockey League announced that the Carolina Hurricanes and the city of Raleigh would host the 58th annual NHL All-Star Game, which takes place this Sunday. If North Carolina can switch gears from cars to skates, then I suppose I can switch from beer stein to stemware. Since this game features the best of the best in the NHL, I should extend a decent effort to find the perfect, or at least appropriately named, wines to kick back and cheer on my two favorite Washington Capitals, Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green, who will be participating in the festivities.

If you’re hosting a party, or simply want to enjoy the game in peace, then consider opening a few of these aptly named wines. Retail prices are approximate.
