Press coverage
Rescue Dog Wines in the press: features, reviews, and awards from publications that share our mission.
"Rescue Dog Wines; Blair and Laura Lott"

"Wine Industry Article Article"
"A family-owned winery in California, that donates 50% of its profits to dog rescue organizations, a Lott Family Cellars brand."
"This complex, savory, even smoky style of wine is attractive in its aromas of grilled baguette and toasted almond. The palate brings generous baked apple, butter and almond flavors that match the rich texture and velvety bubbles."
"This wine is lively, fresh with aromas of pineapple, kiwi, guava and orange zest on the nose. The midpalate has flavors of lemongrass, mandarin orange, vanilla extract and lemon cream to finish. Pair with seafood stir fry."
"Rescue Dog Wines ratings on Wine Enthusiast"
"Make world-class wines from locally sourced Lodi AVA grapes."

"Rescue Dog Wines has made dogs an equal partner in their business."

"Rescue Dog Wines are better than Josh."
"Has found success by helping animals in need."
"This mouth-watering Sauvignon Blanc offers juicy notes of lemon, lime, wet stone, lanolin and just a hint of flint. Bonus: It comes with a cute dog on the label."
"Double Gold (2024 Demi-Sec) — SF Chronicle Wine Competition"
Story angles we can speak to
- The 50% commitment. Why a for-profit winery donates half its profits — and how it stays viable.
- Lodi vs Napa. The case for California's most sustainability-certified appellation as the next premium-wine story.
- Cause-marketing fatigue. Why "1% of one SKU" doesn't move consumers anymore — and what does.
- Rescue Ambassadors. A non-MLM affiliate model giving 501(c)(3) partners a 12% recurring revenue line.
- The economics of dog rescue. What recurring funding (vs one-time grants) actually changes for shelters.
Approved quotes
"We built Rescue Dog Wines as the opposite of a cause-marketing campaign. The mission is the product, not the marketing."
