Colorado Avalanche 2022 Wine Pairing: 96 Points Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Wine Notes

Why pair the Avalanche with a wine that makes fun of wine critics by awarding itself 96 points every year?

A few reasons:

1. 1996 is the year that the Colorado Avalanche won the Stanley Cup.
2. Hockey WineUp is about developing a deeper appreciation for wine and hockey by building a deeper connection between the two.
3. 96 Points Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is an easy drinking wine that is a great introduction to California wines.

Here at Hockey WineUp we like to make sure that you get a wide range of wine options that connect to the team you love or the game you are watching. 96 Points Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 will bring back memories of the 1996 Colorado Avalanche Stanley Cup Championship team.

Team Notes

In recent years, the Colorado Avalanche have become an annual threat to win the Stanley Cup, it just hasn’t happened yet. With a high power offense that can generate scoring from multiple forward lines the Avalanche are set up to have another strong regular season in the Central Division. The real question for the Avalanche this year is if they are able to translate their regular season dominance into post-season success.
