As we celebrate 100 years of the moniker Golden Hurricane, it’s a great time to celebrate our history. As the story goes… new head football coach Howard Acher saw great potential in his 1922 team and wanted to publicize it by creating a new identity with a new nickname.

 The press had claimed that the Tulsa football team blew through its opponents like a tornado, and after a remark in practice about 'roaring through opponents," Acher had seriously considered "Golden Tornadoes" but another school already held that name.
 
Heading into the Texas A&M game in Dallas, Acher still wanted a name for his team. A few days before leaving for Dallas, Acher asked his squad to vote on the name "Golden Hurricane," the gold being added because of the color of their new jerseys. The team approved and the "Golden Hurricane" nickname was born.
 
Tulsa won that first game as the Golden Hurricane by a score of 13-10.

We introduce you to 100 Year Storm. This elegant white wine blend is alluring and complex, with a sensuous offering of tropical fruits, white flowers and subtle spice. The nose is like a bouquet of flowers and jumps from the glass with ripe lemon, white peach and orange blossom followed by notes of toast and white pepper. On the tongue, lemon bursts forward with pineapple and other tropical fruit, with undertones of vanilla. The finish is bright and zingy and mellows with vanilla and subtle spices in its length.
