Pickleball has taken the USA by storm. This hybrid game that combines elements of tennis, ping-pong and badminton into an outdoor on-court game has permeated into popular culture and won the hearts and minds of Americans from sea to shining sea. The court is similar sized to badminton, the net is mimics that of a tennis court, and the paddles are like an oversized ping-pong paddle for ultimate power and finesse. If you're sleeping on pickleball, sleep no more! Today, the US Open Pickleball Championships has named an official wine sponsor, and it's no other than 1000 Stories.
