If you needed an excuse to drink, you've got one now. Manny Ramirez, Curt Schilling, and Tim Wakefield have teamed up with Charity Wines to produce Longball Vineyards, a collection of three fine Chilean wines named after our favorite Red Sox players. Here's the best part: the proceeds from each sale benefit a charity of that player's choice. "Manny Being Merlot" benefits the Charlee Program; "Schilling Schardonnay" benefits Curt's Pitch for ALS; and "CaberKnuckle" benefits Pitching In For Kids. According to Dr. Vino (no, not Bev...she's Dr. Wino), the Schilling Schardonnay -- "Estate-grown and hand-crafted, this unoaked chardonnay shows lively flavors and aromas of apricots, apples and tropical fruits. Crisp and medium bodied, this well-balanced white pairs well with salads, pasta, fish and chicken" -- is the best of the bunch. Personally, I'm waiting for Papi Pinot, maybe the Youkilis Manischewitz. The wines are supposed to be arriving in New England retail stores soon, so if we can find them, you can bet we'll be stocking up. Let us know if we need to do any special orders!
