"  A winery in Long Island announced the release of two commemorative bottles in honor of the upcoming 10th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks, but not everyone wants to take a sip. The two wines, produced by Lieb Cellars, are a specially bottled Merlot (2010, barrel-fermented) and 2010 Chardonnay (which, as described by the winery&amp;#039;s tasting notes, is &amp;quot;reminiscent of fresh green apples with underlying hints of tropical citrus and pineapples.&amp;quot;) According to the Lieb website, both are made with grapes grown &amp;quot;90 miles from the site of the World Trade Center.&amp;quot; Purchased directly from the winery, the bottles will retail for $19.11 each. There has been some backlash following the announcement. When Anthony Bourdain discovered that one branch of Les Halles, the pair of French restaurants in Manhattan where he serves as chef-at-large, was pouring the vino, he responded with an irate tweet, calling the decision an &amp;quot;epic fail,&amp;quot; before rapidly having it pulled from his downtown restaurant&amp;#039;s wine list.

According to the Los Angeles Times, between 6% and 10% of the proceeds from the wines will go to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Since 2004, the vineyard has also been producing the less expensive September Mission Merlot, which retails for $9.11 a bottle and has, according to the winery&amp;#039;s general manager, Gary Madden, raised $25,000 for the memorial fund by donating 91.1 cents from every bottle purchased.

Is it a positive fundraiser or a case of wine made in bad taste? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
