Donald's jug of claret for a worthy cause

Those who wish to toast Luke Donald for a career year that included his being named PGA Tour player of the year on Tuesday might want to do so with a glass of Luke Donald Claret that will support a worthy cause in the process.

Uncorked.com is offering a signed bottle of Luke Donald Collection Claret 2006 Limited Edition for $250, with proceeds going to the First Tee.

Donald is a wine aficionado who is among the growing list of those in professional golf with their own wine labels. His friendship with Bill Terlato of the Terlato Wines International was the impetus for the wines, which currently include two offerings: the 2006 claret and a 2008 chardonnay.

Uncorked.com also is offering a Luke Donald Deluxe Wine and Golf Set that includes bottles of the claret and chardonnay, a sleep of Titleist Pro VI golf balls, a golf towel and tees and ball markers, for $94.99, and a Luke Donald Wine Collection Set, featuring bottles of the claret and chardonnay and a sleeve of Titleist Pro VI balls for $64.99.
