LUKE DONALD COLLECTION WINE

Nothing says a fine bottle of wine like Luke Donald, right? Well, yes, it does. Donald has joined the ranks of several golfers who have their own wine on the market. Donald, in association with Terlato Wines in Lake Bluff, Ill., has a Claret-style red wine blend from Napa Valley.

He didn't just throw his name on the label. He tapped into his creative side (Donald is a talented artist) to play an active role in the mixing process.

The finished product is a nice full-bodied wine with layers of complex flavors of blackberries and subtle spice notes. Donald's offering is considered a premium wine and as a result comes with a premium price: $40.
