Gov. Inslee to get case of California wine for winning Seahawks bet

When the 12th Man makes fun of 49ers fans, we call them the “forty-whiners.” Now there is a reason to call them the “forty-winers.”
“Well, I bet them 13 bottles of our best wine, against the California wine,” Jay Inslee told KIRO Radio of his bet with Gov. Jerry Brown. “We’re going to enjoy drinking our San Francisco 49er wine next week.”
Jay Inslee watched the Seahawks battle it out with San Francisco for their NFC Championship win from the sidelines.
Now that the governor has won one wager, he’ll be betting with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper too. But even though California and Washington share a booming wine industry, don’t expect the next bet to feature our states’ common, “budding” industry.
“Are we going to exchange marijuana?” asked KIRO Radio reporter Chris Sullivan.
“I can tell you what the bet will not be,” said Inslee. “We got a lot of other products we’ll be talking about.”
