Kitten's Kiss_Proof 2

I am so excited! Today in my email, I had the label proof for the wine, Kitten’s Kiss, that is going to be produced by Eldchrist Winery here in Plain City. The label features the winery kittens, B and Mittens, two white kitties who are brothers. Mittens is actually a polydactyl or Hemingway cat, having an extra toe on his front paws. (As an aside, Hemingway cats get their name from Ernest Hemingway, the writer, who had many multi-toed cats. He was a huge cat lover. You can still see descendants of his original cats at his former home in Key West or if a visit is not in the cards, check out the web site here: Hemingway Home). 

Anyway, back to Eldchrist Winery, which I am sure Mr. Hemingway would have visited if he had lived in the area since he was a huge fan of spirits (the alcoholic version, not the ghostly sort). Eldchrist Winery has kindly offered to host a benefit event for Black and Orange to launch the wine. We’ll have more information on that as soon as we set a date. For each bottle of Kitten’s Kiss wine sold, Eldchrist has also offered to make a donation to Black and Orange Cat Foundation! 

We helped B and Mittens get neutered and vaccinated over the summer as the Winery was first getting started. It was a very nice surprise when winery owner, Christopher Eldredge, approached us about a wine featuring the kitties to benefit Black and Orange. 

If you click on the label above, it will take you to the proof. Click on that a second time and it should pull up a larger version of the image so you can read the text on the label. But in case you don’t want to do that, here is what it says, “Our Kitten’s Kiss wine exhibits sweet grapefruit flavors. B and Mittens were stray kittens that now live at Eldchrist Winery. The Black and Orange Cat Foundation specializes in spaying and neutering stray & feral cats in the area. They helped out our kitties! A donation to Black and Orange Cat Foundation will be made for each bottle of Eldchrist Kitten’s Kiss wine sold.”  They then list our contact info.

We’ll let you know more about the release of this wine as soon as we have more information.

At that time, we’ll also tell you, “Drink Up!”
