The first-ever Sports Legends Challenge will unfold at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas from September 14-17.

Twenty-five top poker pros including Annie Duke, Johnny Chan, Layne Flack, Gavin Smith, Men “The Master” Nguyen, Cyndy Violette, Kenna James, Antonio Esfandiari, Jamie Gold, and Mike Sexton are scheduled to attend along with NFL greats Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith, and Hershel Walker, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, skateboarding guru Tony Hawk, and golf master Rocco Mediate.

As if you needed any more convincing than the once-in-a-lifetime nature of this event, here’s our top five reasons we think you should play:

5. You might  learn something

Have you always wanted to go to one of those poker training camps but it all seemed a bit… academic? During the first three days of the Sports Legends Challenge, poker pros will be offering training sessions several times a day for all SLC participants. Is betting on the Sunday games more your cup of tea? Top professional handicappers will be offering a workshop on sports betting techniques and you can test your mettle at the Atlantis’ Pegasus Race & Sports Book.

4. Play both cash games and sit ‘n goes with poker pros and world-class athletes

At the Sports Legends Challenge you’ll have ample time to sit down with both the poker pros and the pro athletes in a casual setting at the tables. No-limit hold’em SNGs and both poker and blackjack cash games will run throughout the SLC, giving participants the opportunity to interact with the pros in a small group setting.

3. Learn, Play… and Party with the Pros

Not only will you be “drafted” onto a team featuring one athlete and one poker pro but you’ll all strategize together throughout the week when it comes to how you’ll approach the series of no-limit hold’em tournaments offered during the SLC. Then, after a long day of playing, you’ll all get to relax together in a social setting at one of the nightly parties. On tap are an NFL tailgating party, a “Cocktails & Cigars” event, and individual team gatherings.

2. You might get to be on TV

Should you go deep in the no-limit hold’em tournament portion of the week, the top finishing players will each be paired up with one pro athlete and one poker pro “coach” to play in a tag-team, $1,000,000 winner-take-all finale that will be televised nationally on Fox Sports.

1. The Bahamas has a lot to offer

A Sports Legends Challenge package includes round-trip airfare and five nights of accommodations at the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort. Not only do you have all the poker and casino gambling your heart desires right at your feet but it’s also a perfect destination for a family vacation. While you’re schmoozing with Sugar Ray Leonard or check-raising Gavin Smith, the rest of the family can swim in one of the spectacularly landscaped pools, ride the water slides, hit the beach, or check out the Dolphin Cay.

Stamping your ticket to the Bahamas doesn’t have to put a dent in your bankroll either. Head over to Travelwizard.com or call 1.800.330.8820, and sign up for the Sports Legends Challenge package, now while there is still space!

Bottle Shock Wine Tour of  Napa
Cost: $1,700
Promo Code:VVNL

The Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 or the “Judgment of Paris” was a wine competition organized in Paris on 24 May 1976 by Steven Spurrier, a British wine merchant, in which French judges did blind tasting of top-quality chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon wines from France and from California. California wines rated best in each category, which caused surprise as France was generally regarded as being the foremost producer of the world’s best wines. Spurrier sold only French wine and believed that the California wines would not win.

Library Wine Tasting at Chateau Montelena

In 1976 Chateau Montelena put California at the forefront of the wine world. That year a who’s-who of the French wine and food establishment gathered for a grand tasting at the Inter-Continental Hotel in Paris. Four white Burgundies were tasted against six California Chardonnays. When the scores were tallied, the French Judges were convinced that the top-ranking white wine was one of their own. In fact, it was Chateau Montelena’s 1973 Chardonnay, rated above all other wines.

The results proved that Chateau Montelena could produce some of the world’s finest wines, and that California’s wine industry had come of age. This will be a shared experience with a few other guests. 

Private Tour and Tasting at Heitz Wine Cellars

Heitz Wine Cellars has earned countless accolades for its dazzling wines every year since 1961. Their three renowned vineyard-designated wines — Martha’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Trailside Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and Bella Oaks Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon — are the highlight of the winery’s distinguished resumé. 

A Picnic Luncheon at Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars

The unthinkable happened. Winiarski’s 1973 Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon – his first vintage produced with grapes from vines a mere three years old – was judged the best. The Cabernet had bested four top-ranked Bordeaux, including first-growths Château Mouton-Rothschild and Château Haut-Brion.

Today, the wines of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars continue to command the respect and admiration of wine aficionados the world over, proving beyond a doubt that the Paris victory was no accident, but proof positive of the ability to create consistently splendid wines from a distinctive corner of a very special valley.  

Guests will receive a complimentary copy of the “Bottle Shock” DVD at the end of the program.
