Share: Mike Weir has joined another sports hero, Wayne Gretzky, in starting a wine company.
Now the golfer’s product is the official wine of the Toronto International Film Festival. Weir’s wines will be served throughout the festival, set for Sept. 10 to 19. “I am very proud to have my wines associated with an event that has the prominence and importance of the Toronto International Film Festival,” Weir said. Proceeds from the sale of all of Weir’s wines during the festival will go to The Mike Weir Foundation, which is a charity to support Canadian children in emotional, physical and financial need.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mike Weir Wines to the festival family,” said Piers Handling, the director and CEO of the film fest.
