If you’re reading this, you’ve probably just read my post about Manilow Pinot Grigio. I was not aware that Barry Manilow had a wine label,  but as I have already mentioned, I am pleased to learn that the Manilow Wine proceeds are donated to the Manilow Fund For Health & Hope, which then funds other charities worldwide.  Visit www.manilowfund.org for more details.
