A Wine That Educates
Here is a tax-deductible way for you to enjoy
a special Napa Valley wine - the Brother Timothy Signature
Series 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon - a complex and harmonious
blend of reserve-quality wine in a unique collector's-item
bottling (see order form for
details). This Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon, created
in honor of Brother Timothy, longtime cellar master for The
Christian Brothers, is truly "a message in a bottle" - a message
of hope for youth at risk. Its sales help the Lasallian Education
Fund provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged young
people. This wine is a labor of love, donated by generous
winemakers to help our youth achieve a better future through
education.
Currently, some 10,000 students in four western
states are benefiting from education in the tradition of the
De La Salle Christian Brothers. By maintaining their established
schools, and by continuing to found new schools in impoverished
neighborhoods, the Christian Brothers and their colleagues
are helping our youth to achieve a better future.
Such innovative high schools as De La Salle
North Catholic in Portland, opened in 2001, and San Miguel
Catholic High School in Tucson, opening in 2004, help to make
college-preparatory education affordable for the poor with
a "corporate internship" program that gives students paying
jobs in corporate offices in direct connection with their
academic studies. This business experience and their classroom
studies reinforce each other in invaluable ways.
Such efforts are part of the Christian Brothers'
three-hundred-year tradition of offering education that is
both loving and practical. The Brother Timothy Signature Series
Cabernet is a part of this labor of love. Five generous supporters
of this educational mission - Newton Vineyard, Beringer Blass
Wine Estates, Kathryn Hall Vineyards, Robert Mondavi Winery,
and Lancaster Estate - have donated barrels of vintage 2001
wine from their excellent but distinctive vineyards, to be
fashioned into a blend that is rich and full of varietal character
while balanced and satisfying in every way.
"We are very excited about this Cabernet," says
Dr. Su Hua Newton. "The wine has deep, rich color with aromas
of black cherry, currant, a hint of vanilla and enticing suggestions
of spices. A velvety texture, soft tannins and a lovely structure
are complemented by long, lingering flavors."
The Lasallian Education Fund will begin taking
reservations for this limited edition wine on February 25,
2004. Orders will be shipped second half of April 2004.
You can join these winemakers and the Christian
Brothers in sending "a message in a bottle" - a message of
hope for youth at risk.
