I am deeply offended. The last thing I want to see is some young woman's cleavage on a wine bottle, especially after have double mastectomies. You don't see ads like this for men's prostate cancer. How degrading to those of us fighting this disease. Very insensative!!!!

Righto, Chrisy,

The wine is pricy at $50 for the cabernet, $45 for the Petit Syrah, and on down to $15 for a blended white. Even if 10% is for charity that means a $45 dollar bottle at the top end.

The KICKER for me was when I got into the winery's web site wanting to know where they would donate the 10% promised. They ADMIT that a charity or foundation has not been chosen as yet!!

Gets to sounding more like a marketing scheme as you delve into the site.

Well, I can see both sides. I do think some class should be given to the labeling and such. But I do not mind seeing PINK everywhere. I know a small % goes to the cause but just think of all those small % they add up. I guess I kinda wear my BC as a badge of honor. And all this month I wear pink or some sort of reminder to show the world. And that includes my TATAS are survivors Tshirt. Because they are. I work with a bunch of early thirty somethings and they all have save the tata's magnets on their cars. If it promotes awareness to other age groups I'm for it.
