Bizou will sell four wines from Lodi-based winery
New Orleans, Louisiana and Lodi, California, September 2019 – Effective September 2019 Rescue Dog Wines will be distributed in Louisiana by Bizou Wines, based in New Orleans. “We’re honored to represent Rescue Dog Wines, with its lively labels and simply delicious, well-made wines,” said James Moises, the owner of Bizou Wines.
Bizou will be carrying four wines: 2018 Rosé, Predominantly Poodle Sauvignon Blanc, Bubbly Boxer Sparkling Rosé and Beloved Mixed Red, Red Wine Blend. The wines are crafted by winemaker Susana Rodriguez Vasquez and Eric Donaldson with grapes grown according to Lodi Rules protocols in Lodi, California.
Rescue Dog Wines was founded in 2017 by Blair and Laura Lott. The Lotts donate 50% of their profits to rescue dog organizations across the country. On National Dog Day (August 26), the winery did a joint program with Hotel Milo in Santa Barbara, California. Dogs were welcomed with treats and gifts, and owners with choices of the Rescue Dog wines. “This type of collaborative effort brings us great joy,” comment Blair and Laura Lott, who have participated in dog rescue related events including the Sacramento SPCA Fall Gala, Friends of the Alameda (California) Animal Shelter, the Lodi PALS (People Assisting Lodi Shelter), Los Angeles Found Animals Foundation, The Rescue Dog Runway Show in Los Angeles and the English Bulldog Rescue Bully Ball in Atlanta. https://www.rescuedogwines.com/
Founded in 2009, Krewe du Bizou Wines is based in New Orleans and imports and distributes fine wines from around the world. In New Orleans, the term “krewe” is applied to a group of people who make up a Mardi Gras organization. “When combined, you get a collection of fine wines representative of those special little kisses (bizou) in life, which is exactly what you’ll discover at Krewe du Bizou Wines,” explains James Moises. The company is located on the Lafitte Greenway at 2500 Saint Louis Street in New Orleans. Following Rescue Dog Wines’ lead, Bizou will be donating a portion of their sales to local New Orleans animal rescue groups.
