We wanted to express our enormous gratitude to you and the rest of the BZ team for the sublime Wine of the Sea donation for Plastic Pollution Coalition’s annual gala event last year. We had thanked David and Sophie for the BZ Consortium’s generosity immediately following the event as they had been our only points of contact. We cannot overstate how much effusive praise we heard all evening, and then many times afterward, of your wines. We and our guests loved it. Our guests included Chef Alice Waters, Senator Alex Padilla, Reverend Lennox Yearwood, Singer Antonique Smith, Comedienne Paula Poundstone, Actress Rebecca deMornay, Jeff Franklin (creator of Full House and Fuller House), Jackson Browne, John Legend’s manager Ty Stiklorius and many more notables.

Our annual event, the Magnificent May Dinner, is all about bringing our most valuable supporters together to share the work we are doing to move the world toward ending plastic pollution. Wine in glass bottles, aged in the Aegean, packaged thoughtfully in paper and cardboard with beautiful graphic design, resonates wonderfully with our community and our values. Over the many years we have held this event, we have never heard such acclaim for the wine we served. Hands down these were simply the most excellent wines!

We wanted to make sure to let you and your colleagues know how grateful we are now that we are directly in touch. Also, we would be happy to provide an in-kind donation acknowledgement for last year’s donation if you could share with us the approximate value.

Thank you very much,

Dianna
