Wine for Haiti — Donate to Online Auction for Haitian Earthquake Relief
Jan 15th, 2010 Posted in wine + spirits | no comment »PALATE PRESS: The Online Wine Magazine and Brother, Can You Spare a Bottle? announce a joint program to help the relief effort in Haiti following the devastating earthquake that rocked the country earlier this week. Wine for Haiti is an opportunity for wine collectors to make a contribution not through their pocketbooks, but from their wine cellars.
The idea is simple: wine lovers contribute a special bottle that is then included with other donations into a mixed case. Those interested helping out the cause, and getting some great wine as a bonus, can then bid on the cases in an online auction. These generous contributions of wine lovers will all be turned directly into money for disaster relief.
In the spirit of giving, donations have already started rolling in with some very desirable bottles, including a 1976 Dr. Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Beerenauslese and an etched 6.0 liter bottle of 2003 Cornerstone Cellars Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. PALATE PRESS: The Online Wine Magazine will pay all administrative and overhead costs of receiving the wines and running the auction.
Bottles should be sent to:
