Soon, you’ll be able to help raise funds for Mesa County Libraries just by opening a bottle of wine to enjoy.
The Mesa County Libraries Foundation is launching Well Read, a specially branded red wine produced by Grande River Vineyards, with a special launch party set for 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 17, 2018, at Grande River Vineyards, 787 N. Elberta Ave. in Palisade, just off I-70 exit 42. The launch party is open to the public, and admission is free.
A portion of the sale price of each bottle of Well Read will benefit the Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that raises funds to benefit Mesa County Libraries. The Foundation supports capital projects, special events, and other special projects of the library.
“We are thrilled to offer this unique product as a way for Mesa County residents and others to support local library services,” said Jane Fine Foster, president of the Mesa County Libraries Foundation. “We appreciate the opportunity to work with Grande River Vineyards and other local partners to make Well Read available to consumers. The wine will serve as a fun and special conversation-starter about the importance of the library to the community.”
Well Read will be available for purchase at Grande River Vineyards beginning May 17.
