Baseball and Wine: San Francisco Giants

What's an appropriate wine to serve at a San Francisco Giants themed party? What wine would be a good gift for a hard core Giants fan? The San Francisco Giants came into existence as the New York Gothams and joined the fledgling National League in 1883. Two years later, the baseball team was renamed the New York Giants, and a legendary sports name was born. The Giants moved from New York to San Francisco in 1957, taking up residence first at Seals Stadium, then at wind-blown Candlestick Park, where they played for 39 years. In 2000, the San Francisco Giants moved to AT&T Park, which was first known as Pacific Bell Park, then as SBC Park until SBC and AT&T merged. No matter where the Giants have played, this historic baseball team has attracted star players, created a rivalry with the same team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, on two coasts and, according to Baseball Almanac , racked up more wins than any other team in Major League Baseball.
