You know that HeartSmart Wines are all about the heart, so I hope once you unleash this puppy it’ll warm your heart as much as it did mine when creating it! 2008 Mt. Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon, For Giving It’s only appropriate that “For Giving” was destined to be the fi rst wine I created. Its mission and name, inspired by Oprah’s “The Big Give,” is for giving joy to those who drink this wine and, with each sale, for giving back to organizations that support worthy causes. 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Craig Ruth Known affectionately as “Shorty” by nearly everyone he met, Clarence (Craig) M. Ruth, Jr., was not only a father but a very good friend to me. Shorty left us in the summer of 2009, just as my wine venture was coming together. But I like to think that I’m keeping his memory alive with “Craig Ruth”, a wine I’ve named in his honor. And to further honor him, a portion of the proceeds from the 2007 vintage wine will go to an organization that was near and dear to his heart—the Marine Corps Scholarship Fund, which honors Marines by educating their children.
