Kelly J. Hayes

“Sports and Wine,” the rollicking Ben Folds Five ditty, pretty much sums up life for Kelly J. Hayes, who wrote our piece on Sutcliffe Vineyards. Author of the syndicated column WineInk, which details the people, places and things of wine weekly, and an Emmy winner for his work in the broadcast booth on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” Hayes lives in Old Snowmass with his wife, Linda, and their caffeinated chocolate Lab, Cruton.
