Pairing wine with… Rollergirls!?!

WineGirl — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:48:39 +0000

Tomorrow (Friday April 29th from 6-8pm), at Wine World Warehouse in the University District of Seattle I will be pouring the largest selection of My Derby Wife wines ever. This new release of SMALL lot wines with very limited availability will be featured for one night only, not only by me, but by 100 of my closest rollergirl friends. We’ll be there, hip-checkin’ and wine swirlin’ all while elegantly in our natural form: ON SKATES!

Meet the rollergirls each representing their featured wines:

2007 Killer Bee-otch Merlot

2008 Scarlet Leather Merlot

2008 Sheeza Brickhouse Cabernet Franc

2008 Cosmic Rains Cabernet Sauvignon

2008 Sara Problem Malbec

2008 Deadly Aim Red Wine Blend

2009 Foxy Throwdown Gewurztraminer

2009 Selma Soul Chardonnay

WgotW – August 11th

I miss roller derby. I miss the creativity, the entrepreneurial, grassroots, DIY spirit. I miss the positive energy, the support, the exercise. I miss the girls, my best friends, my derby wives and team. And yes, I miss taking girls out. I miss that perfect hit that sends Valtron 3000 out of bounds. I miss everything… everything but the knee injuries.

So, all I have now is My Derby Wife Merlot and the amazing wine guests who stroll in and recount their personal experiences with derby. This week, in walked a colleague of the best co-cappie I ever had Carmen Getsome. It was such a delight to chat with him, meet his friends, and see how spirited he was about the sport. As a sports therapist he’s been helping the injured girls on Grave Danger heal and strengthen from their injuries. I wish he didn’t have to see that side of derby, but that’s a huge part of it.

Thanks for stopping in and I hope you have an amazing time at Carmen’s wedding. I wish with all of my heart that I could be there.

Derby Hip Checkin'

Cheers,

Killer aka WineGirl

PS to Lacey: Congratulations you two! I am so sorry I couldn’t be there to see you guys united! I love you both and to a long life of happiness and competitive video game playing.

Wine For Haiti Fundraiser

As the New Year set in, tragedy hit home to millions on a little island in the Caribbean sea. We here in Seattle are well-known for our brilliance, lets say. Perhaps it’s the doldrum grey winter weather igniting the brain bulbs, but alas I can confidently say that most flashes of brilliance hitch a ride on the tie-die conveyor belt and are lost to the ether.

However, just the other day my good friend Garren’s bulb flashed and has burned brightly for over a week as he hit the pavement running on a wild hair. He set out on a mission to help those less fortunate in Haiti, by directing an ad-hoc silent auction of beautiful Pacific Northwest wines and among other delectable pleasures worthy of bidding for such a fantastic cause.

My advice with a grain of salt: Get out there and do something yourself or support Garren’s charismatic efforts!

This Saturday at the Vineyard Table in Seattle. Suggested donation $25, first 50 get a free bottle of wine. Browse the silent auction collection, of which we donated 6 bottles of wine, two My Derby Wife bottles of Merlot signed by yours truly Killer Bee-otch #36 of the Rat City Rollergirls included.
