    Wines For Humanity - For The Betterment of Mankind

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: March 2, 2018 Last Updated: August 20, 2022

    Doing good while you're drinking good.

    Wines For Humanity - For The Betterment of Mankind

    This post is sponsored by Wines For Humanity.

    Today we're taking a look at Wines For Humanity, a company selling wine and hosting in-home tastings to raise money for charity.

    Companies offering in-home tastings are nothing new, but I don't know of any others that have a core mission of preventing homelessness in families with children. The good folks over Wines For Humanity sent me a sample pack of four wines to try out, but first a bit about the company and the very worthy cause they support.

    Wines For Humanity is an in-home wine tasting and event company that donates 9-12.5% of the sales from each bottle to charity. At these tastings, guests try wines from all around the world and can then select bottles to purchase. The tastings are guided by the company's Wine Advisors who not only get to learn about and try wine from all over the world, but are even paid for their efforts. Better yet, the money raised for charity at each event is donated locally - directly impacting the quality of our Wine Advisors' neighborhoods nationwide. (Hosts and purchasers at the events can select their own charity if they like.)

    Currently Wines For Humanity operates in 14 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, West Virginia, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. If you're in one of these states there are several ways to get involved.

    1. Host a tasting!
    2. Consider becoming a part-time Wine Advisor!
    3. Buy the wine direct!

    Of course, let's not get ahead of ourselves...if the wine isn't good, then what's the point right? Luckily based on the wines I sampled, that is not a concern at all. I've highlighted one favorite below and we'll be reviewing one of our other favorites in a separate post next week.

    Happily for me the sample pack I received included several excellent wines. What I appreciated most; however, was that while the company offers some tried and true staples, they also offer a number of wines that are going to help you expand your horizons and learn about new varieties and regions. Here's a great example.

    Wines For Humanity - For The Betterment of Mankind

    The Duca Bortini Contese De Sedige comes from one of our favorite spots, Alto Adige. This is a highly quaffable blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and a variety that was new to us - Nosiola. Smooth and slightly sweet with deep flavors of lemon, lime and pear and a crisp, lively acidity, this would make a great summer patio wine although we also enjoyed it quite a bit on a frigid January day in Minnesota! Only 10.5% alcohol.

    We'll be back next week with another favorite also from Italy, but instead of Northern Italy, we'll be traveling all the way south to the island of Sicily. In the meantime check out Wines For Humanity.
