Victories Rosé For Research

Please click here to order the 2008 Victories Rosé

In 1998, on the 30th anniversary of my 1968 Olympic victory, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. For me, it was another Olympics, a life Olympics in which I was granted a second great victory. Early detection saved my life, and since then, Greg and I have looked for ways to help raise funds and awareness in the quest for a breast cancer cure.

This wine was created specifically to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness. Victories is a wonderful dry California Rosé with ripe fresh fruit aromas and flavors, and was created to raise funds for breast cancer research and awareness. Since the 2004 vintage we have donated over $20,000 to charities supporting the cause, an average of $2 per bottle sold. In addition to The Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University and The V Foundation for Cancer Research, we are supporting local organizations including the Community Health Breast Project and the VMC Foundation at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center for the Sobrato Cancer Center.

Both the 2006 and 2008 vintage of our Victories Rosé have received a 90 point score from Wine Enthusiast. Please join us in our quest for a cure for breast cancer with a purchase of this special wine. Victories is available for $20 per 750 ml bottle – a great wine for a worthy cause.
