Château Morrisette and The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation Uncork Parkway Wines

On September 30, 2007, Château Morrisette formally released BRP Milepost 469 Dry Red and BRP Milepost 000 Chardonnay, the officially licensed wines of The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation helps transform the Blue Ridge Parkway from a marvel of engineering into an experience of a lifetime. Believing the Parkway should be an unforgettable journey that is comfortable, inspiring and educational, the Foundation provides essential private support for vital enhancement projects that would otherwise go unfunded, placing a special focus on the enrichment of children. Whether in construction projects to better the Parkway's visitor facilities or in the creation of hands-on learning programs to encourage preservation of this unique national park-that benefits not only travelers and the natural world but also regional economies-the Foundation works independently of federal budgets to assure that the traditions and beauty of the Parkway can be fully realized and shared by everyone who travels here.

As with any officially licensed product, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Château Morrisette's BRP Milepost 469 Dry Red and BRP Milepost 000 Chardonnay will be contributed to The Foundation. The Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation works independently of federal budgets to assure the established traditions and natural beauty of this national treasure persist for generations. Château Morrisette is proud to present these signature wines in honor of this unique national park and for the enjoyment of Blue Ridge Parkway supporters.
