In Wine there is Truth. Social Philanthropy has Arrived.

Last week Biz Stone announced that Twitter will launch a program in partnership with Room to Read, the non-profit literacy organization headed by CEO John Wood. Crushpad, whose mission is to democratize the wine industry, will collaborate with Twitter, whose mission is to democratize access to information throughout the world.

Social Philanthropy has arrived. Twitter staff will participate in making two wines, a Pinot Noir and a Chardonnay with Crushpad (www.crushpad.com), a San Francisco based custom winery. We the people are invited to follow the progress of winemaking on Twitter, and pre-order the wine at a reduced $20 dollars per bottle here www.fledglingwine.com.

The best part is that $5 from every bottle will go directly to Room to Read, an organization that BRANDfog supports through our work and that of our CEO clients. Room to Read enables literacy programs in some of the poorest regions in the world. BRANDfog supports this organization based on one simple truth. If you can read, you can do anything.

You can follow updates, participate in a Social Philanthropy, and feel good all at the same time at: www.fledglingwine.com. What a great corporate holiday gift idea.
