From Lieb Family Cellars

Having lost friends and colleagues in the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we at Lieb Cellars feel strongly that it is everyone’s responsibility to support the 9/11 memorial.

In 2004, we were approached by Monica Iken, a widow of September 11th, about the opportunity to get involved with the September’s Mission Foundation (and, later, the 9/11 Memorial Foundation), and we have been appreciative of the opportunity to serve these fine causes. Over the course of the past seven years, that involvement resulted in a special series of wines created for these two organizations. In that time, we have been honored to participate in this project and are proud to have found a way to give back to these organizations as a member of the greater New York business community.

Lieb Cellars has a long history of similar charitable work, and has been involved in the production of wines for several non-profit organizations over the past 10 years. It has always been our policy to donate our profits from these products, and we are proud to have done so.

We appreciate all of the kind support we have received this past week from first responders, active duty military, families of the victims of September 11th and the public in general, and very much look forward to the opening of the September 11th Museum and helping to preserve the memory of those lost.
