Today's wine selection combines two of my favorite things, wine by a sport celebrity and wine for a good cause. Former San Francisco 49er Dwight Clark teamed up with Steve Ledson of Ledson winery to create 2005 Dwight Clark's "The Catch" Russian River Pinot Noir. The wine is made of 100% Pinot Noir. The wine is a blend of four different clones from the Russian River vineyards and is aged in French Oak barrels for eight months. The proceeds from the sale of the wine benefit the Harmony Foundation for Children, which provides support and resources to underprivileged children. This is the third wine in the series, the first was a
2000 Meritage made with actor Jeff Bridges and the first was a 1999 Old Vine Zinfandel made with former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald.
The wine sells for $95.
