The winner of Agate Ridge Vineyard’s Change the World with Wine contest was Rebecca Friedman of San Rafael, California. Her winning entry which garnered 350 votes, is as follows:

Wine is an enormous draw when putting on a party. That said, putting on a fundraiser party with a 2 cent case of wine would mean lower upfront costs and higher “profits” to go toward the charity. I’d want to host a fundraising dinner where for a nominal cost per head, guests could enjoy wine, hors d’oerves and dancing. After the night is through, I’d be able to use the empty bottles and some artistic ingenuity, to create saleable items. Be it sculptures or charms, each bottle would become a unique piece of art. That way I would not only be raising money for a cause, I’d also be recycling!

Congratulations Rebecca! Enjoy your case of wine to celebrate and most especially the case of wine to change the world. Thanks for your two cents!
