In January 2009 I wrote about Lookout Ridge Winery, a California winery that focuses on supplying wheelchairs to those in need. Since I was very impressed with what was happening at the Lookout Ridge Winery, I decided to check it out once again. Owner, Gordon Holmes, has a deep interest in helping to provide wheelchairs for the underprivileged. Gordon is also a wine enthusiast and appreciates high-end wines.

Besides the Lookout Ridge Winery estate wines, wines are also available that are produced by a “portfolio” of renowned winemakers.  These winemakers include Richard Arrowood, Cathy Corison, Marco DiGiulio, Andy Erickson, Greg LaFollette, Drew Neiman, Aaron Pott and Gerhard Reisacher.

Visitors to the winery’s website will discover that for every bottle of current releases purchased a wheelchair will be donated. Not surprisingly, these wines are not your $20 or $30 bottle of wine. Many of the wines are available in packs of 3, 4, 6 or cases. The current releases are available on the Lookout Ridge Winery website.

This is a great gift, for those who have everything. Even more important, it will help to provide a wheelchair to someone in need. A pdf page on the website ends with “Because of the generosity of wine lovers like you, someone now has mobility and freedom.”

Cheers, Kathy
