Zeke, Master Winemaker or Glutton Extraordinare?
Just this past weekend, our very own Zeke Neeley rolled up his sleeves and took on some of Napa’s finest winemakers in one of the most time-honored measures of winemaking prowess: competitive eating. Below is Zeke’s report of his performance, which took place at The Bounty Hunter in downtown Napa.
“In spite of being the only contestant to arrive with his own safety glasses, I’m ashamed to admit that I managed to tie for last place in the winemaker ribs eating contest. Showing a pathetic lack of gluttony, I was only able to eat 19 ribs in the allotted 10 minutes while two guys each devoured 31. I apologize for any dishonor that I may brought to the winery and to the pigs that gave their ribs in my lackadaisical effort.”
Better luck next year, Zeke!
Zeke, the not-so-master ribber.
