Napa Valley Cleavage Creek wines

Cleavage Creek range of wines are fighting breast cancer one wine bottle at a time.  

77 Year old Budge Brown, owner of vineyards and a winery in Napa Valley, California, sadly lost his wife of 48 years to breast cancer, resulting in him dealing with his overwhelming grief and anger by using his wine bottles to create awareness of the disease and also to pay tribute to some beautiful women survivors of breast cancer by displaying their images on the wine bottle labels. 10 % Of gross sales is donated to funding breast cancer research.

And more locally …..

Creative, entrepeneurial, Fairview Wine Farm owner, Charles Back decided 10 years ago to create a Rhone-style blend of shiraz, cinsault, carignan and mourvedre with fruit sourced from various vineyards around Paarl and Malmesbury and give it the tongue-in-cheek name of Goats Do Roam as a play on the French appellation title.

Soon following was Bored Doe, a classic Bordeaux blend led by cabernet sauvignon with merlot in the blend.

Despite the flippant brand name, the wines (9 of them currently) are critically applauded.
