Nashville Predators’ 2012 Wine Festival & Tasting is this Friday…

We know that Alexander Radulov — for good or for bad — has consumed your thoughts for the past week or so. Heck, we haven’t gotten much sleep because of the whole thing. But try to put him out of your mind for one second. Why? Because the ridiculously fun seventh annual Nashville Predators Wine Festival & Tasting is this Friday! We went last year and had a blast.

How much do we love this event? We’ve even tried to recruit wine makers to it!

In a proactive move for next year’s festival, we’re trying to persuade Bure Family Wines to partake in the 2013 event! Valeri Bure, founder of Bure Family Wines in St. Helena, California, is a former National Hockey Leaguer who went into the wine business once he retired. He’s agreed that he’s willing to come out next year so now it’s up to the two parties to make it happen.

If you have the chance to go, don’t miss it.

The official press release is below.
