Blue Turf Blend and Bronco Bubbles celebrate Bronco pride while supporting Boise StateÂ
BOISE, Idaho – Boise State Athletics has partnered with Garden City-based Proletariat Wine Company as an official partner of Boise State Athletics, introducing two limited-edition custom wines created for Bronco Nation: Blue Turf Blend and Bronco Bubbles.
Blue Turf Blend and Bronco Bubbles will be available in the Stueckle Sky Center, new North End Zone hospitality spaces, Bronco football games, and all other stadium events. Fans can also enjoy both wines at select local Albertsons locations, including Broadway and Fairview Market Street stores, while supplies last. The partnership was secured through Bronco Sports Properties, Boise State's locally-based Learfield team.
"We're incredibly grateful to Proletariat Wine for creating something that allows fans to celebrate their passion for Boise State in a truly unique way," said Boise State Director of Athletics Jeramiah Dickey. "Blue Turf Blend honors one of the most iconic symbols in college athletics, while Bronco Bubbles is made for celebrating victories together. This partnership represents exactly what makes our community special: local businesses supporting Boise State because they believe in what we're building together. It takes a TEAM! What's Next!"
Blue Turf Blend is a bold Bordeaux-style blend with aromas of dark cherry and spice, layered with rich dark fruit, refined tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. Bronco Bubbles is a vibrant sparkling rosé with aromas of strawberry and cotton candy, bright watermelon flavors, and fine, lively bubbles. The wines are crafted from grapes grown in Idaho, Oregon, Washington by acclaimed winemaker Sean Boyd.
"We're Bronco fans first, so creating wines that celebrate Boise State was an easy decision," said Proletariat Wine Company Co-Founder Elizabeth Baggerly. "These wines are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends while cheering on the Broncos or during any other gathering. Quantities are limited, so we encourage fans to grab a bottle while they can."
Founded in 2011, Proletariat Wine Company was built on a simple idea to make exceptional wine more accessible. What began as an innovative wine-on-tap program for restaurants and bars has grown into one of Idaho's premier wineries, producing high-quality, affordably priced wines that can now be found in bottles at local retailers and online at proletariatwines.com.
The partnership highlights another local business stepping up to invest in the future of Bronco Athletics while giving fans a unique way to show their Blue and Orange spirit.
