Barefoot Cellars Celebrates 18 Years of Support for LGBT Charities Nationwide.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. -- Grape Links, Inc., famous producers of Barefoot Cellars, Mistle Toe Cellars and J. Lynne Wines continues to funnel their advertising dollars towards charitable causes rather than printed advertisements after 18 years of selling wine. Barefoot Cellars proudly supports non-profit Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender (LGBT) causes nationally, donating to and participating in hundreds of fundraisers which raise money to benefit HIV/AIDS education and research as well as other related issues.

"It is so wonderful that we contribute to such worthy causes," stated Randy Arnold, Barefoot National Sales Manager since 1988. "Barefoot has been instrumental in raising funds around the nation for HIV/AIDS research and education as well as other related issues."

Randy has dedicated his time for the past 16 years to participating in numerous LGBT non-profit events which has resulted in the raising of millions of dollars. During that time Randy has built a close relationship with important LGBT groups such as the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, The Boulder County AIDS Project, Academy of Friends and the National AIDS Community Research Group.

Even when Randy is flying all over the country, and not able to attend a particular LGBT event, Barefoot Cellars continues to support the cause. This past April, Barefoot Cellars supplied Barefoot Bubbly Extra Dry Chardonnay Champagne to the New Leaf Services 30th Anniversary fund raising event held at Teatro ZinZanni in San Francisco, California. New Leaf exists to help LGBT and questioning individuals and families of all ages lead healthy and connected lives. They provide professional mental health, substance abuse, and social support services to strengthen their diverse community.

For 5 years now, Barefoot Cellars has been one of the predominant wine suppliers at the annual Academy of Friends event held at the Fort Mason building in San Francisco. Thousands of dollars raised at this event go to organizations dedicated to helping the lives of over 200,000 people affected by HIV and AIDS including but not limited to: Tenderloin AIDS Resource Center, STOP AIDS Project, Project Inform, New Leaf and other important organizations.

Barefoot Cellars was established in 1986 by co-founders Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey, and initially released Barefoot CAB and Barefoot Blanc in the 1.5 liter sizes in California. Now 18 years later Barefoot Wines are distributed nationally and internationally and sell over 500,000 cases of wine representing over 35 different wine packages. Barefoot Wines are known for their high value for money and win more medals than any other wines in their price category.
