When Ron Darling ordered Kathie Lee Gifford’s Gifft Chardonnay at Neary’s the other night, you could say he was doing research.
The Mets pitching great and TBS commentator has teamed up with restaurant bigs Steve McFadden and Paul Favale to produce a new red Syrah wine out of the Donelan vineyard in California.
All proceeds from “Darling Reserve” will go to battle Type 1 diabetes, which afflicts Darling’s son Jordan.
Gifford’s wine must have been good. The Yalie was singing along to all the Mavis Staples parts when The Band’s “The Weight” came on.
