Grape Time Winery and the Animal Rescue League of NH have partnered up to market several varieties of wine, of which the sales will ultimately benefit the League.  The partnership includes a local artist, Molly Poole and five local venues that will sell the wine.  Harvest Market of Bedford, the A Market Natural Foods store in Manchester, Sully's Superette in Goffstown and the Wine Studio, LLC, in Manchester and Londonderry have all agreed to support the League and carry the wines.  For each bottle sold to a local store from Grape Time Winery, the League will receive a percentage of the sale.  The Harvest Market of Bedford store manager, Janice Morin stated, "Supporting our community is important to us.  We feel that the Animal Rescue League of NH specifically is a worthy non-profit and we have shown this through our support of the League in the past and will continue to do so in the future.  We are thrilled to be a part of this community effort to assist the animals at the League."

Grape Time Winery, a division of IncrediBREW, Inc. which is located in Nashua, NH approached the League about this ongoing corporate partnership.  The winery, which boasts 13 years of wine making experience, uses quality juice obtained from the major wine producing regions of the world, including France, Italy, Australia and California.  Each batch of wine is hand-crafted, fermented, bottled, corked, labeled, and aged at the IncrediBREW store in carefully controlled 30 bottle lots.  The careful selection and creation of each wine produces an end result of quality world class wines.  Grape Time Winery owner, Dave Williams, stated, "We are proud of the wines that we produce at Grape Time Winery but we are especially proud that they will be carrying the Animal Rescue League label.  It is an honor to be working with them and to support, in our small way, their efforts to help the needy animals of our community.  This is truly a Wine with Soul and a Cause with Heart!"

Five varieties of wines have been chosen to date to be carried in the stores; a German Riesling, a Super Tuscan, an Italian Amarone, a Gruner Veltliner and a Pinotage.  Paired with each wine is a beautiful watercolor label created by New Boston artist, Molly Poole.  When choosing artwork for the labels, the League's representatives felt that Molly's work reflected the style and feeling that we wanted the wine labels to portray.
