There’s an in-depth article in today’s Inky about former Eagles coach Dick Vermeil’s new venture - a boutique winery. As the article mentions, there are several sports figures who have put their names on bottles - Mike Schmidt, for example - but Vermeil is apparently involved in the nitty-gritty of the winemaking process.
