On the Line” designs created by Dave Matthews

In an effort to support the community impacted by the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, Blenheim Vineyards has released a limited-edition wine to help provide healthy meals to frontline workers and others in need. A red wine blend, “On the Line” bottles feature a label designed by Dave Matthews, who is also the owner of Blenheim Vineyards. The design is also featured on other merchandise such as t-shirts, stickers, and posters. A white blend will be released later this summer. All proceeds from sales will be donated to Frontline Foods Charlottesville and the World Central Kitchen, known around the globe as “Food First Responders” serving millions of meals each year. These organizations are dedicated to serving healthy meals for first responders and others in need.

“I hope that the wine is a way to bring focus to the community of workers on the front lines– from health care to grocery stores,” said Kirsty Harmon, general manager and winemaker at Blenheim Vineyards. “It is hopefully a way for those folks living in Charlottesville, Virginia and beyond to be able to support those workers from afar.”
