When most people think of Dick Vermeil, they think football: the Philadelphia Eagles, the St. Louis Rams, the Kansas City Chiefs, a Super Bowl champion. What they don't know is that Coach grew up in a California wine family three generations deep, rooted in Calistoga vineyards his great-grandfathers first planted in the early 1900s. Today, that legacy lives on as Vermeil Wines, small production wines made from the same Frediani Vineyard fruit his family has been harvesting for generations.

On October 15th, we're honored to welcome Dick Vermeil to Turks Head Wines for an evening built around that story: a wine dinner featuring his own California label, paired with a culinary menu designed around every pour.

This is a night for the curious. Come learn about the wines themselves, the vineyards they come from, and the winemaking process behind each bottle. Guests will taste through each wine course by course, guided by Coach as he shares more about his family legacy. And yes, expect a few football stories along the way too!
