Earlier this year, we bid farewell to rescue pup, Bristol, a beloved chocolate lab who served as our official winery greeter, harvest helper, and Winemaker Todd Graff\u2019s \u201cright paw\u201d for 15 years. In his honor, our winery is proud to partner with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)<\/a>, whose incredible work for animals is a fitting tribute to Bristol\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Humane Society is the world\u2019s most effective animal welfare organization who confronts the largest problems facing animals through the areas of public policy, education, and direct care. Their impactful work has made animal cruelty a felony in every state, saved thousands of lives by shutting down puppy mills through raids and policy efforts, and provided hands-on care to millions of animals through their rescue teams, veterinary programs, care centers, and sanctuaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the month of November, we are donating 20% of all proceeds from each online purchase of our 2018 Napa Valley Merlot<\/a> to the HSUS to support their lifesaving work. Thanks to the high yields of exceptional fruit we received from the 2018 vintage, this wine is the first bottling of Merlot we produced in nearly two decades. We’re proud that it also recently received an outstanding score of 98 points and was awarded \u201cBest in Show\u2014Double Gold\u201d at the recent 2021 Sunset Magazine International Wine Awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included with each bottle will be an exclusive Frank Family Vineyards pet bandana\u2014available in small and large sizes\u2014encouraging supporters to raise awareness for animal welfare with pet-friendly photographs on social media using the campaign hashtag #FrankForACause<\/a>. Packages are available for purchase here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re thrilled that Frank Family Vineyards chose the Humane Society of the United States as their “Frank for a Cause” beneficiary this holiday season and can\u2019t wait to see the positive impact of this collaboration,\u201d says Kristie Tanner, Director of Business Partnerships for the Humane Society of the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charitable giving is a core value for our family winery. We have conducted five \u201cFrank for a Cause\u201d campaigns in the past four years raising nearly $100,000 to benefit non-profit organizations such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Feeding America, Autism Speaks and the James Beard Foundation\u2019s Open for Good Campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBristol served as our official winery greeter and harvest helper for over a decade,\u201d says Leslie Frank. \u201cHe walked our vineyards at Todd\u2019s side weekly and we were all saddened to lose his presence earlier this year. The partnership between Frank Family Vineyards and the Humane Society of the United States is a fitting tribute to Bristol\u2019s memory, and our entire family\u2019s love for dogs, including our adored German Shepherd rescue, Magnum.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
