Mike Schmidt

hit 548 home runs in his 18 seasons with the Phillies.

His new wine is a stand-up double.

Schmidt dropped by Citizens Bank Park on Friday to introduce Mike Schmidt 548 Zinfandel, whose sale will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Schmidt said he had been involved with the foundation since a friend's son died of the disease at age 21. Organizers Charity Wines and Charity Hop have enlisted other 500-homer hitters to star on their own charity bottles.

Wine expert Keith Wallace of the Wine School of Philadelphia, whom I asked to taste the 2006 red zinfandel (bottled by Eos Estate Winery on California's Central Coast), seemed impressed. He detected notes of "rich, black pepper and clove . . . pruney, raisiny quality . . . lots of alcohol on the nose . . . medicinal . . . boysenberry syrup, from IHOP . . . soft, round tannins . . . good bottle for pizza."

Wallace dubbed it a $10 bottle - though when it hits stores in less than a month, its estimated retail will be $19, with $1.25 going to charity.

New digs

WMMR (93.3) morning guys

Preston Elliot

and

Steve Morrison

got something more than a multiyear contract extension. Last week, they got their own studio - a rarity in commercial radio. It has 1,800 square feet of performance space for themselves and

Preston & Steve

sidekicks

Kathy Romano

,

Nick McIlwain

,

Casey Foster

and

Marisa Magnatta

(allowing bands to play and bikinied models to cavort for the Web cams, and listeners to come in and watch); their own production equipment so they don't have to fight off coworkers from other shows; and an office quadruple the size of what they had squished into. During design, they say, management kept offering more stuff - new computers, a sound-effects board for Morrison, remote-control shades for the windows. One denial: a floor drain to catch messes.

Restaurant report

Owen Kamihira

, who owns Bar Ferdinand in Northern Liberties' Liberties Walk, will take over the nearby restaurant space that was, until last month, Deuce. He says he'll redecorate and open El Camino Real, a "Mexican-border" bar, in about six weeks.

Honors

The Philadelphia Public Relations Association will hand

Nina Zucker

its Hall of Fame Award at the Kimmel Center on May 14. Zucker has had her own firm for exactly 20 years but still looks 30.

Debbie Morgan and Darnell Williams of All My Children will put their hands in cement outside West Philadelphia's Bushfire Theatre on May 17. Adolph Caesar and Ivan Dixon will be honored posthumously on the Bushfire's walk of fame.

Prince Albert of Monaco will join a bunch of locals this weekend at the annual trip to the Kentucky Derby started 63 years ago by his grandfather John B. Kelly.

TV people

Fox29's

John Bolaris

, tossed from a mechanical bull while doing a remote from the Flyers block party at the Wachovia Center Wednesday, received much paramedical attention. After the flip, he begged a shoulder rub from a Delta Dental Flyers Ice Girl. After his back seized up during his weathercast the next night, he rang up his girlfriend's sister, who's a masseuse. Bolaris got a house call.

Daily News columnist Flavia Colgan has been hired as a correspondent for the CBS Early Show to do stories on ordinary folks doing positive, inspirational things. First piece will be on Timmy Kelly, the local teen who sings at Eagles games. The interview took longer than expected, Colgan says, because she and her crew grew emotional. Air date has not been announced.

Sasha Formoso, a University of the Arts alum, turns up at 8 p.m. today on NBC's Deal or No Deal. She's competing against two other woman in the latest round of the interactive suitcase-model search.

Through the lens

How did Philly paparazzo

HughE Dillon

get a street photo of actress

Demi Moore

, here shooting the movie

Happy Tears

? Charm. That and his agreement not to bug her again. Dillon found Moore and fellow thesp

Parker Posey

near Rittenhouse Square on Friday. Moore put up her hands to block her face. Dillon appealed. Moore agreed to two shots, which she counted as he hit the shutter.

Jerry Blavat is shown bare-chested, pumping iron, in this month's Philadelphia Magazine, but photographer Chris Crisman says the better photo was the one seen here. To do it, the entertainer known as the Geator risked his life for his stint in the hot tub. "He had surgery recently on his heart, and that was one thing the doctor told him not to do," Crisman says. "At this point in his life, he has no inhibitions. Maybe he never did."
