Life After Football

Updated:
by Michelle Dapper, SWX Anchor/Reporter - bio | email

After a life on the football field, Drew Bledsoe returns to his hometown of Walla Walla, Wash., to continue a career in business. From one field to another, Bledsoe opened up the Doubleback Winery. The region is home to some of the most unique wines in the country.

Bledsoe took pride in producing the winery from the ground up and was blessed to partner alongside his childhood friend Chris Figgins.

Bledsoe took SWX around Walla Walla to show he's still calling the shots, even though he's not on the football field.

Tune into SWX Tonight at 10:30 p.m. as Bledsoe takes us behind the scenes at Doubleback Winery.
