‘Tis the season! This time of year is a very active time for Humanitas. Holiday parties, both in the office and in restaurants, are featuring lots of wine. And because we give our profits to charity, many people choose Humanitas to serve and to give as gifts. And the great thing is, the more we [...]

Inspired by…the Ideal Food Wine!

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

Humanitas is about honorable wines trying to do an honorable thing. We do this by giving a minimum of 7% of our revenues to charity…to charities local to where the wine is sold and to charities that focus on very primary needs — hunger, affordable housing, education…that kind of thing. In the wine business, 7% [...]

And with a winery dedicated to giving back, I am always interested in and fascinated by compelling charitable organizations. I am particularly drawn to groups that ‘provide a leg up’ to those [...]

Inspired by…Bob & his Bike!

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Imagine you were 71 years old, retired and smack dab in the middle of your golden years - relaxed and content. You’ve had a great life and life is good.
Bob Frick is no ordinary 71-year old. True, he is retired…but he is not relaxed. After learning of the great work of Habitat for Humanity, their mission of [...]

Pay It Forward

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

I admit it…I’m an idealist. And that idealism is firmly behind the creation of Humanitas. I have a fundamental belief in the ‘good’ of mankind. Naive, I’m sure — but it is who I am. Two of my favorite movies of all time, ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ and ‘Field of Dreams’ should give you some [...]
