NEW: Celtics Name Carolyn's Sakonnet Vineyard Official Team Wine

The Boston Celtics have named Carolyn's Sakonnet Vineyard as the official team wine, in a partnership announced today between the 17-time World Champions and the domestic, international-award winning wine producer in Rhode Island.

As part of the partnership, Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard will be the presenting partner of the Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard Owners Section in the Sun Life Courtside Club. All bar locations within the club are now sponsored by Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard and exclusive wine lockers will now be available for those who frequent Celtics’ home games. 

"We are all about partnering with the best, and clearly the Boston Celtics are amongst the best franchises in all of sport," said Carolyn Rafaelian, proprietor of the vineyard. "My aim when I purchased the vineyard was to save and invest in this beautiful land and share it with as many people as possible. Our presence at TD Garden allows us to reach passionate, wonderful fellow New Englanders in an exciting sports environment."
