CaberLee - Derrek Lee releases Charity wine
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Mark Buehrle & Derrek Lee Unveil Charity WinesTwo
local baseball heroes have teamed up with Charity Wines to raise some
big league dollars for some very worthy causes. The North Side will be
represented by slugging first baseman Derrek Lee while the South Side
will feature mainstay ace pitcher Mark Buehrle. These men join a strong
group of stand-up athletes across the country to launch wine labels in
the name of charity. 100% of their proceeds go directly to the charity
of the player's choosing.
- Derrek Lee's
CaberLee wine benefits his 1st Touch Foundation, which
creates opportunities, positive change, and hope for our youth striving
to overcome challenges beyond their control.
-
Mark Buehrle's Buerhlot wine benefits the Hope Rescues animal shelter
in Alton, Illinois. Mark has been active with organizations helping
animals for the majority of his career and has recently become more
involved with the Hope Rescues shelter.
The
names CaberLee and Buehrlot are word plays on varietals Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot, and are California appellations. They are
expected to retail for about $13 a bottle. Both went on sale to
retailers this week, and will be available to the general public
beginning in June throughout the Chicago area wherever wine is sold,
and online at www.charitywines.com.
