Red Sox Players Launch 2008 Wines for Charity

What do you do if you're a major league ballplayer looking to raise money and awareness for your favorite charity? Well, you launch your own wine brand of course!

I wonder how Parker would "score" these:

David Ortiz - "Vintage Papi" - The David Ortiz Childrens Fund

Jason Varitek - "Captains Cabernet" - Pitching in for Kids Childrens Hospital

Kevin Youkilis - "Sauvign Yoouuk Blanc" - Kevin Youkilis' Hits for Kids

Three other Sox players--Manny, Wake, and Schilling--launched their own wines last year, you can check them out here. 100% of the sales go to each players charity and I believe these "Champion Edition" wines are available for pre-ordering now. You can check the Charity Hop website for more information. If you're wondering, the juice is made by Selby Winery in the Russian River Valley.

Go Sox!
