On November 18, 2021 Advocates, Inc., a charitable organization champions people who face developmental, mental health or other life challenges, is hosting its fifth annual gala. https://www.advocates.org/advocates-5th-annual-gala-game-life. The above collection of sparkling, rose` and white wines will be auctioned off to assist in raising funds in connection with the Gala. Below is a description of the 12 bottles of wines, all from family owned Southern Italian wineries that abide by organic/natural/biodynamic/sustainable practices in the vineyard and cellar. Several belong to associations that promote these practices. For a discussion of these vineyard and cellar practices and associations that promote such practices please refer to my May 5, 2021 blog post https://southernitalywine.com/natural-wines-low-or-minimal-intervention-wines-and-the-use-of-additives/.
