Charles Barkley launches wine label
Charles Barkley is venturing into the wine business.
The NBA Hall of Famer and TNT analyst has partnered with winemaker Chris Cameron to launch his own label, CB Vineyards, which includes a trio of wines - CB Vineyards Auburn 2014 Red Blend, CB Vineyards Rebound 2015 Chardonnay, and CB The Analyst 2014 reserve red blend, according to Haute Living.

Barkley won't be making money off the wine, as all proceeds will be donated to charity. With that in mind, he couldn't resist taking a shot at colleague Shaquille O'Neal while at a launch event for the label.
"I'm excited about this venture, really excited. When we first started talking about it, I said 'I don't want to put my name on something just to make money,'" Barkley said. "That would make me Shaq."
