Super ecstatic to announce that the team over at @DitmarsVintage will be dedicating their November’s Wine of the Month proceeds to the Queens for Puerto Rico Relief Fund! Their Wine of the Month program donates a whopping 33% of sales from 2 specific wines to a new local charity each month, and this month they are choose our #QU4PR campaign.
Vintage is a multi-purpose wine bar/coffee shop in Astoria that emphasizes in using local, organic, green products and vendors. They are also dedicated to the Queens community, and each month they work closely with neighboring businesses and local organizations.
