Wine Industry Efforts For Hurricane Katrina Relief
Wine Spectator rounds up more wine industry Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. We mentioned before the Paso Robles Wine Country Quality Alliance and their goal of raising $100,000. Other efforts include New Orleans-based Partners Wine Marketing Group, which is donating $1 for every case of wine it sells throughout the United States over the next year. Oriel Wines, a group of winemakers producing wines from several countries under a single label, is contributing 100 percent of its profits for the month of September to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. Southern Wine & Spirit has established a $100,000 matching relief fund and is encouraging its 10,000 employees to participate. Sonoma winery Hop Kiln will donate net proceeds from its 100-year birthday party on Oct. 15 and 16 to the American Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund. Share Our Strength is also planning a benefit dinner in Washington D.C. on October 17 and Dine for America Day is set for October 5.
