At Willakenzie Estate, we have launched a charitable donation program whereby a customer can order one or more cases of our Pinot Gris at a substantial discount, and the winery will donate $15 per case to a charity. We have selected two charities which provide hunger relief, and the customer chooses the charity where he or she would like us to donate. For the holidays and during the economic slowdown, this seemed to be the most appropriate way to promote sales while helping people in need.

Senoj Estates in Woodinville, WA is having a "Get Beaujolai'd" party charging $30 per ticket and providing a bottle of their new release Beaujolais, a commemorative T-shirt, live music by Half Pack Live (Rat pack style music), and catering. It looks like a great way to get your name out and have a lot of fun.

We conducted a survey on how people in the industry were being effected by the economy and here is the report.

If anyone would like to add to it, they may do so here.
