Ah, golf. A gentleman's sport if there ever was one. Which is why it makes perfect sense for a PGA golfer to team up with a wine company to create a signature line of links-inspired drinks. Who is this cultured connoisseur? Davis Love III? Tiger Woods?

Nope. It's. . . John Daly.

The long ball rebel's vinos, which include three "ranges" of wine, hit Memphis shelves in a week, with national rollouts to follow. The press info promises the products were "conceived and blended to reflect unique and different aspects of one of the world’s most thrilling and big-hearted golfers."

We can only assume that once opened, the bottle begins chain-smoking Marlboros, marries you, trashes your hotel room, divorces you, and then goes out in search of strippers and slot machines. For tasting notes and images, click here .

No word yet on which of the three goes best with Hooters wings and Big Macs.
