This Monterey County 2005 Heart of a Champion Collector’s Series Merlot kicks off its inaugural year with a contribution of $2 per bottle to the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center.

It was November 22, 1969. The unbeaten & top ranked Ohio State Buckeyes marched into Michigan Stadium, expecting a coronation of their second straight national title. In an unprecedented turnaround, first year Wolverine coach Bo Schembechler led his underdog charges to a 24-12 triumph. It was one of the greatest upsets of college football history and established Bo as a national presence.
