Terrell spoke about his passion with wine:

The wine is described as “ripe black cherry and cinnamon stick aromas, leading to a palate of plum preserves, dark chocolate and spicy toasted oak.”

In an interview on 93.3 WMMR “The Preston & Steve Show” on Wednesday morning, the 47-year-old Owens said that he started “developing his own palette for different wines and tastes” after retiring from football, saying he was not much of a wine drinker during his playing days.

Owens also said that it has been a “very interesting experience” developing his own wine, but admitted that he’s far from a vino expert.

“I’m not a sommelier yet, but the descriptions of wine like big and bold fit me pretty well,” Owens said, via  PhillyVoice.com.

T.O. also said the wine company is also a tribute to Kobe Bryant, who used to go by the nickname Vino.

Best of luck to Terrell on making some wine loot.

Eighty-One is now available at http://81vino.com.
