Pruett marks Indy 500's anniversary with a limited-edition wine

Race-car driver Scott Pruett is also a winemaker, and his vineyard is releasing a limited-edition Napa Cabernet to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500.

Pruett and his wife, Judy, opened their vineyard in 2006 in Auburn, Calif., on the eastern slope of the northern Sierra Mountains. They create small-lot, hand-crafted premium wines.

This is the second time one of their wines has commemorated an event. Their 2008 Championship Cuvee celebrated Pruett's 2008 Rolex Championship and 24 Hours of Daytona wins. That wine sold for $100 a bottle.

Pruett isn't the first race-car driver to make a foray into winemaking. Mario Andretti and Jeff Gordon also are vinters.
