Project Description
Jenn Pelka of Une Femme Wines will be joining John Sporing, founder of A Life Well Drunk, for a WineUncensored virtual tasting on March 25, 2021 at 6 PM ET. This is the fourth virtual tasting in celebration of Women’s History Month!
In our conversation with Jen, we will be guided through three wines:
The Callie – Sparkling California Rosé
The Juliette – French Champagne
The Piquette – Still California Pinot Meunier Rosé
A portion of proceeds from all sales of Une Femme Champagne is donated to Dress for Success, the non-profit benefiting women on their journey to financial independence.
Prologue Wine (the retailer) ships to 44 states and makes it extremely easy to get free shipping on a purchase of any six bottles site wide. A high-end experience and sustainability are their hallmarks; their packaging and shipping materials are all recyclable/compostable, each bottle is hand-wrapped in protective recycled tissue, and all new customers get a complimentary rosewood handled engraved Liesse wine key.
Order HERE.
Note, A Life Well Drunk does not receive payment for these virtual tastings, but we do receive sample wines. We continue to do these tastings to help our winery partners during these challenging times.

We look forward to seeing everyone again soon in person, until then we hope to see you at the tastings, even if you do not have the wines!
