Last Wine Wednesday I talked about ONEHOPE Wine’s lovely Chardonnay and their October Breast Cancer Awareness initiatives. I hate to double up on posts about the same wine, but this update is just too exciting for me not to share 🙂 As of the 1st, ONEHOPE has launched a new Facebook tab that allows you to see how many mammograms for underprivileged women have been provided as a result of their Chardonnay sales this month. Additionally, ONEHOPE is donating $1 for every Facebook “like” during the month of October. How great is that?! Check out their tab in real-time here. If you’re not a big wino like me, at least “like” their page, share it with some friends and see the impact you’re having on women who can’t afford regular breast cancer screenings.

Are there any other cool companies out there that you know of that are promoting breast cancer awareness this October? Send them my way… I’d love to hear about them! Cheers!

Those of you who know me personally, know how close to my heart ONEHOPE Wine is. Therefore, I find it only fitting that my first Wine Wednesday post highlight this incredible company. Born with the idea of integrating “giving back” into business (above and beyond the corporate style of cutting a check to a foundation at the end of the year), ONEHOPE Wine has succeeded in making serving-a-greater-purpose the fabric of their brand. 50% of all profits are donated to partner charities and each different varietal goes toward a different cause. While I LOVE all of their wines (created by Rob Mondavi Jr.), the Sauvignon Blanc, which benefits the American Forest Foundation (AFF) is by far my favorite summer wine with its citrus undertones and crisp finish. Perfect pairings are salmon (my personal favorite), light pasta dishes, fresh fruits and a variety of cheeses. I can’t wait to open a bottle tonight!

For every $1 donated, the American Forest Foundation will plant a tree to preserve one of our most precious resources. Cheers to that!
