Walla Walla Roller Derby Wine Bottles

Woman's Roller Derby; Roller Derby Wine made by derby girls in the Pacific Northwest.

I answered my home phone the other day thinking that it would be for my boyfriend, but the voice on the other end said that they wanted to talk to me, little old me. It was a good friend and former roommate that lived with my man and me in BEAUTIFUL wonderful Idaho. He (our former roommate) is now a winemaker in Walla Walla, Washington; the mecca of fabulous wine country. For those of you who think great wine only comes from California, we shall have to have a little chat. 


The conversation went a little like this...



 FORMER ROOMMATE/WINEMAKER

"Hey, you love roller derby"


MUTTPUPPY
"Yes, yes I do actually"


 FORMER ROOMMATE/WINEMAKER
 
"Cool. I have some chicks who are making roller derby themed wine in Walla Walla and want to get it into the hands of derby girls outside of Washington. Can I send you a bunch of the wine to try?"



MUTTPUPPY

"Um, do you even have to ask? I LOVE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WINE and, I love roller derby"


 FORMER ROOMMATE/WINEMAKER

"Cool, Cool. I will let them know and get it in the mail"


MUTTPUPPY

"Can I sweeten the deal and ask for a promo shirt? 
It can be handmade if needed. I will wear it to practice."


 FORMER ROOMMATE/WINEMAKER

"You want a shirt?"


MUTTPUPPY

"You don't get it, but the girls will totally. 
Yes, tell them to send me a shirt!"


Later that evening via text 


 FORMER ROOMMATE/WINEMAKER

"What's your derby name?"



Once I get the wine in the mail I will be doing a wine tasting with my girls at my house and reviewing it here at Muttpuppy's Putting On My Big Girl Panties. I can't wait to try out what these derby girls from north of me are concocting. Follow along as I introduce you to new and exciting wine from derby girls! There is no stopping what a skater can do once her mind is set to achieve it. Happy day to everyone.

Just Another Saturday In The Park







Survived my teams very first ever double header at our home track this Saturday. Was beautiful weather for an outdoor bout, my family flew in from Michigan to watch, and I was awarded Most Feared.



What else?

Oh, yes, it was the first time I was captain of my team (previously, I have been co-captain) and also my 2nd time bench coaching. The team I bench coached rolled into victory with a win of 249-3 points. What a day. Someone posted on facebook that our team should have put in blockers instead of jammers to jam since it was such a slaughter, whomever commented that....here are my thoughts on that topic.


  • This is derby, we don't play any less than 100% (Click HERE and follow the link to Blockodile Dundee's post about giving 100%, it's a very inspiring read)

  • Being a team predominately full of very athletic skiers/snowboarders/hikers/rock climbers, we train for endurance, speed, and agility specifically since size is not on our side and that being said, EVERY one of the girls on our team can and will jam if asked. In fact, we jammed all but three of our fourteen girl lineup.

  • You don't get better if people take mercy on you cause you are less experienced. I have yet to see another team bow down to an opposing team because they are behind in points. Click HERE to read about mismatch etiquette.

That being said, all the girls who skated did an amazing job! I always look forward to skating against and meeting other people/teams, why else do I practice so many hours a week?
DUH! TO PLAY DERBY!!!!!!!!


"Love to everyone who straps on skates. I have been learning so much this year, much success and enjoyment to every single person reading this!"

Sweat Potato



Torn in the homes, sold in the market
children with broken foundations

Living the dream, now I'm focused on me
Chopping down that Tamarack tree
