The California Wine Club is pleased to partner with Koz Wines, the acclaimed wine label from renowned musician and six-time Grammy® nominee Dave Koz and Vinum cellars. The Koz 2008 El Dorado “Red Alto” and Koz 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will begin shipping to members in early September as part of The California Wine Club’s Signature Series and be available for re-order by the half case and case shortly after. Proceeds from the sale of Koz Wines are donated to the Starlight Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities.

“The California Wine Club prides itself on introducing its members to unique artisan wines that they may not be familiar with,” said Bruce Boring, Founder of The California Wine Club. “We are thrilled to be able to share Koz Wines with our members and to help spread the word about all the great work for the Starlight Children’s Foundation that Dave Koz and Koz Wines are doing.”

“It’s so fantastic to get Bruce and Pam’s blessing and be included in The California Wine Club,” said Dave Koz, Creator of Koz Wines. “I am so proud of these wines--and the exposure they will get from being included will not only bring them to a whole new world of wine lovers, but hopefully raise some much-needed awareness for Starlight as well. I couldn’t be happier about this collaboration!”

With this partnership, The California Wine Club continues its mission of providing its members with the best award-winning, limited production wines. Before collaborating with The California Wine Club, Koz Wines were only available at Whole Foods Markets® in Southern California, Arizona and Nevada. Now, for the first time, Koz Wines can be purchased from The California Wine Club and shipped throughout the country.

About The California Wine Club
Since 1990, The California Wine Club has offered its members hand selected artisan wines from real working family vineyards. Bruce and Pam Boring created The Club with the idea that it would be “like a friend making a recommendation to another friend” to help people experience wines they might not otherwise find locally. Over 12,000 members receive a little bit of wine country at their door each month with the 100% guarantee it will be something they will like. More information about The Club is available at www.cawineclub.com.

Internationally renowned saxophonist and six-time Grammy® nominee Dave Koz has captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world over the past two decades through his recordings, radio shows, annual tours and cruises. In his travels, Koz continually observed the strong connection between people’s love of jazz and their love of wine, echoing his own two passions. The entertainer’s penchant for quality is evident in his choosing of premium Napa winemaker, VINUM Cellars, for this exciting new collaboration. As a humanitarian, Koz has served as global ambassador for the last 17 years to the Starlight Children’s Foundation and will be donating all his proceeds from KOZ wine to help Starlight continue their vital mission.

Koz Wines are available at Southern California, Nevada and Arizona Whole Foods Markets.

Starlight Children’s Foundation helps seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation through entertainment, education and family activities.

Your purchase of KOZ wine will ensure that more families have access to Starlight's programs which distract children from their pain, help them better understand and manage their illnesses, and connect families facing similar challenges so that no one feels alone. While doctors work restore a child’s health, Starlight works to restore his or her spirit.

Help us brighten their world, a little each day. -Starlight Children’s Foundation
