Norman's New California Course
Greg Norman is known as a Hall of Fame golf legend, but his new legacy is in wine.
Following the success of his Greg Norman Estates wines from Australia (the 96-point Shiraz South Eastern Australia Reserve 1999 made Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 2004), Norman and Foster's Wine Estates have introduced a set of wines from California.
The line, which includes North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon, Lake County Zinfandel, Paso Robles Petite Sirah and Pinot Noir (85 points on Wine Spectator's 100-point scale) and Chardonnay (85) from Santa Barbara County, is crafted by winemaker Ron Schrieve, who worked with Ed Sbragia on Beringer Founders' Estate wines.
All the wines are priced between $13 and $15, so they won't cut into your greens fees.
California Estates Wines
"The foundation for my California wines was established years ago. I am fortunate to take something that I am passionate about, both a business and a personal interest, and expand it to a geographic area that I have grown so very fond of. My California line consists of five wines from distinctive, top-quality appellations that deliver a unique expression of its place of origin." - Greg Norman
