Bo Merlot and Bo Blanc, the wines named in honor of former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler, are the focus of several upcoming wine tastings.

The wines serve as fundraiser for the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center, with $2 for each bottle going toward the Heart of a Champion Fund.

The next event: A 1969-themed tasting at Carson's American Bistro from 5-7 p.m. Friday. Click here for details or go here for more on the wine and other upcoming tastings.
