Five celebrity wines you might want to try

Greg NormanEarlier this year, we saw the WSJ's list of the top celebrity wines, from rockers ro race car drivers.Men's magazine Best Life has a column every month called Instant Sommelier, and in the new issue, Jessica Lothstein picks five wines by celebrites that you might not have heard of before but might be worth checking out. I've heard of several celebrities getting into the wine business, but I had no idea so many sports stars were really into it.

Best Cabernet By A Super Bowl MVP: Joe Montana's 2001 Montagia Cabernet Sauvignon.


Best Sauvignon Blanc By A Formula One Race Car Driver: Mario Andretti's 2005 Sauvignon Blanc.

Best Austrailian Shiraz By A British Open Winner: Greg Norman's 2003 Limestone Coast Shiraz.

Best Chardonnay By A Rock and Roll Hall of Famer: Mick Fleetwood's Private Cellar 2001 Chardonnay.

Best Brunello By A Sopranos Cast Member: Lorraine Bracco's 2000 Brunello di Montalcino.

I might check some of these out. I'm just glad there isn't a Kevin Federline or Paris Hilton wine on the list. I don't even want to think about how they would taste. The wine, not the celebrity.
