It is not lost on us that this wine is full of privilege, from our ability to make the wine to your ability to enjoy it. We feel the need to pay forward this privilege. Going forward, 5% of proceeds from our Louie Pinot Noir will be pledged to organizations who have entrenched themselves in the fight for equality. For our inaugural vintage these proceeds will be directed towards The Self Enhancement Inc. (SEI) of Portland Oregon. SEI’s work "is committed to helping youth and families realize their full potential" by providing education and supports, helping bridge the gap between the many inequities that people of color face in our community. Visit SEI's website to learn about this important work.
