However, the batches of the red and white wine were made in a limited number. “We’ve only had 4 000 bottles of each wine made,” he said. McMullen explained the idea for the cannabinoid-infused wine stemmed from an elderly man and his son who were in possession of legal cannabinoid oil.

You earned your 19th PGA TOUR title here at the Wells Fargo Championship. Obviously a very special win for you, this is the site of your first PGA TOUR win and it's your third win at Quail Hollow Club. Just thoughts on the win today. RORY McILROY: Yeah, this place has been good to me. Ever since I first set eyes on this golf course, I loved it from the first time I played it, and that love has sort of been reciprocated back. I've played so well here over the years. I think this is the first time I've ever won an event for the third time, so that's pretty cool to do it here. And yeah, just I did -- jeez, there's been so many things that -- I'll get into it a little bit later, but I didn't even think I was going to tee off in this tournament Wednesday night. Then even if I had had a morning tee time on Thursday, I probably would have pulled out because I hurt my neck on Wednesday afternoon and couldn't make a backswing. It just sort of, everything aligned. I was off on Thursday afternoon, I got enough treatment so that I could play and then progressively got a little bit better as the week went on. Yeah, it's just amazing how these little things, they all add up.
