Proud Pour
Proud Pour is a wine company that funds solutions to local environmental problems. Their first product, a Sauvignon Blanc called "The Oyster", funds the restoration of 100 wild oysters per bottle to New York Harbor and coastal Massachusetts.[1] Their first restoration partners are the Billion Oyster Project and the Massachusetts Oyster Project.
History[edit]
The company was founded by Berlin Crystal Kelly in 2014 in New York City, where she was actively involved with the New York City Homebrewers Guild. After successfully launching the 2012 vintage of "The Oyster" wine, Berlin left her full-time finance job and invested in the second, 2014 vintage.
Wine[edit]
Proud Pour's first wine is a Sauvignon Blanc called "The Oyster".[2] The 2012 vintage is from Central Coast California, and the 2014 vintage is from North Coast California.
Oyster restoration projects[edit]
Proud Pour supports the work of The Billion Oyster Project in New York City,[3] a project coordinated by the New York Harbor School with the goal of restoring one billion live oysters to New York Harbor by 2030, and Massachusetts Oyster Project, a non-profit dedicated to restoring water-cleansing oysters to the estuaries of Massachusetts.[4]
