Sip With Pride and Support the American LGBTQ+ Museum

Pride Blend is a delicious way to celebrate the LGTBQ+ community this holiday season

GROUND-BREAKING NEWS

The museum’s first exhibition, Queer Justice, toured the country while they prepared to make a permanent home in New York City.The museum recently announced plans to break ground on December 3rd this year! Every bottle of Pride Blend will help the museum create a beautiful, physical space that tells, and cherishes, LGBTQ+ stories. And 10% of the proceeds from sales of Pride Blend will be donated to the American LGBTQ+ museum.

CRAFTED WITH LOVE

Pride Blend is from the community, for the community and its allies. Annette Bergevin is a very talented lesbian winemaker, leading her family estate in Washington state’s Walla Walla region. For this special wine, she blended Cabernet, Malbec and more to create an expansive palate of ripe plum and cherry flavors, plus hints of thyme. Delicious with food and on its own, it’s perfect for any celebration.

“Wine has a unique ability to bring people together,” Annette said. “Doing something to support the LGBTQ+ community was a dream come true!”

ON PROUD DISPLAY

To come up with the perfect label for this special wine, the American LGBTQ+ Museum announced a contest. After receiving over 100 submissions, the museum chose a winner: “All That Glitters Is You,” shown above and displayed proudly on the label, was painted by RD Riccoboni.

“The painting allows each person in the LGBTQ+ community to see they are not alone, but part of a greater purpose. As an artist, it is my duty to uplift my community and my talent is my voice,” said Riccoboni.

The Pride Blend will be poured at events for the American LGBTQ+ Museum throughout the year, but you can get it now—just in time for holiday dinners and gifting.

We’re proud to partner with the American LGBTQ+ Museum and we hope the LGBTQ+ community put this bottle on proud display and put it to good use at a big celebration or with a great meal. And we feel great knowing the donated proceeds will lead to more special experiences, created by the museum itself.

So, sip a delicious red and feel good about supporting an important mission!
