Montes Wines and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Partner on “Angels in Action” Fundraiser

This September, Viña Montes and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation invite wine lovers to turn a great summer wine purchase into a charitable donation during their month-long ‘Angels in Action’ fundraiser. Viña Montes, the world-renowned Chilean winery helmed by winemaker Aurelio Montes, has partnered with its distributors in nine states across the U.S. to donate 10 percent of proceeds from every bottle sold from September 1–30.

“We believe Montes has been helped by many guardian angels since we started the winery in 1988,” says Aurelio Montes. “With ‘Angels in Action’ and our ongoing partnership with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the goal is to now be ‘angels’ for others—and to reach beyond our own donation capacity to motivate fans of our wines to help support our efforts.”

How can you help? It's as easy as purchasing a bottle (or more!) of Montes Wines, which can be found at many retail stores supporting the effort, including Gordon’s Fine Wines & Liquors (Maryland and Massachusetts), International Wine Shop (Connecticut), Total Wine & More (Florida and Delaware), Woodland Hills Wine Co. and Vendome Wine & Spirits (California), MacArthur Beverages (Washington, D.C.), and Wine Library and Buy-Rite Jersey City (New Jersey), and Costco in many locations.

• Have a Montes Wines dinner party, where each guest is encouraged to bring a bottle of Montes Wines
• Hold a Montes Wines tasting at your house where everyone can sample each wine, then purchase the wine of their choice at their local retailer
• Throw a "Sharing and Pairing" event where guests bring different Montes Wines along with a dish they feel pairs well with their particular wine

It's never been easier to help those in need.
