Help us Help The Gulf

For every bottle of 2008 C&B Selections Syrah, Stage Gulch Vineyard
you purchase in the month of June we will donate $5 per bottle to The Gulf Coast Fund for Community Renewal and Ecological Health

At a time like this The Gulf Coast Fund is serving the needs of those that are “falling through the cracks” relative to other support mechanisms in place to handle this tragedy and we want to support this very worthwhile charity.

Why do this?  Well, my first thought of the day is my best – they usually go downhill from there.  The other day I woke up and immediately began thinking about the ongoing crisis with the oil spill in the Gulf.  I thought about its impact on the men and women affected by the various industries that rely on the Gulf of Mexico for their living.  I also thought about how lucky I was to be so excited about my wine project and how proud I was about making such a top notch wine.  Then I pictured those men and women who make their living from the Gulf of Mexico who aren’t nearly as lucky right now and I decided to take the (literal) fruits of my labor to lend assistance to them by donating a portion of the proceed from Cork & Bottle’s very own wine to oil spill relief efforts.

So, for the month of June Cork & Bottle will donate $5 for every bottle of 2008 Cork & Bottle Selections purchased from our retail store and $1 for every glass poured from our wine bar.

On Thursday, July 8th we will present a check to The Gulf Coast Fund.  We ask that you please help us give some assistance to those so terribly affected by this ongoing tragedy (and drink some really fantastic wine in the process)!

Thank you.
