A SEAT AT THE TABLE

 

In a world where it’s easy to feel isolated or to focus on how different we are, gathering together offers us a place for community, collaboration, and cooperation. We love creating space in our house for people to gather, and this year, we are carrying that passion to our club! Join us as we explore the ways wine can bring us together to support causes we are excited about, cheer for those who need support, collaborate for a greater outcome, and push the boundaries.

Quarter IV : MINDFUL GRAPES | THE CRUSADERS

We rarely need a reason to gather around a good bottle of wine, but if we did… these bottles would be our reasons. These wines exist to do good in the world; helping to restore, repair, conserve, and educate.
