Jorge Posada and Bobby Abreu have joined other wine baseball icons in an effort that will raise money for charity through wine sales.
Posada's wine is named "Jorge Cabernet", and is a 2006 California Cabernet Sauvignon. A portion of the proceeds from Jorge Cabernet will benefit The Jorge Posada Foundation which was established to help children and families affected by craniosynostosis. The foundation provides emotional and financial support as it underwrites a portion of the costs of initial surgeries in its partner medical centers.
Abreu's wine is named "Abreu's Finest", and is a 2006 California Merlot. Portions of the proceeds from Abreu's Finest will benefit the Police Athletic L eague, New York City's largest, nonprofit, independent youth organization. PAL serves 51,000 boys and girls each year with recreational, educational, cultural and social programs. PAL is the official youth agency of the New York Police Department, that is: New York's Finest.
The wine is being distributed across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut stores and restaurants beginning May, 2007. Expected retail is about $12.
