Michael David Winery, one of my
favorites, donated $25,000 to PAWS (The Performing Animal Welfare Society) to
bring awareness and education to this great organization. As part of their
marketing efforts, Michael David Winery has tied two of their more eye-catching
labels, Freakshow and Petite Petit, to help promote the program
nationally.
"As animal lovers, it's a great opportunity to team up
with PAWS and help them in their crusade to rescue and provide a voice for
these animals that are treated unfairly. Since our early years as a
winery we have supported PAWS, and I'm glad to see that continue to this
day," says winery spokesperson Melissa Phillips Stroud. For more than 30
years, PAWS has been at the forefront of efforts to rescue and provide humane
sanctuary for retired or abandoned performing animals. They provide these
animals the space, natural habitat and quality of care which they
deserve.
"We have valued our long-standing community
relationship with the Phillips family. The generous support from Michael
David Winery will be put to work immediately at our ARK 2000 caring for our
rescued elephants, tigers, bears, and other animals," says Ed Stewart,
PAWS co-founder and President.
Owned by brothers Michael and David Phillips, they have
built their Lodi winery into one of the fastest growing wineries in the United
States. They pride themselves on their meticulous farming practices and
sustainable wine grape growing, which result in superior quality in the bottle.
You’ll find their wines in countless restaurants and wine
shops throughout the South. Never poured any bottle with their label that
wasn’t terrific with good food.
