We are thrilled that the IRAEF Restaurant Employee Relief Fund is the beneficiary of the donation as the restaurant community was near and dear to dad’s heart.” Many on the team have worked with our family for years and we are pleased that the best performance was in our backyard to honor his legacy. It is only fitting that the Illinois sales team earned this victory. Terlato Vineyards and Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits will each contribute $20,000 to support this important initiative.ĬEO Bill Terlato said, “Our partnership with Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits is a source of great pride, and our father would be thrilled by what we’ve accomplished together. Their impressive efforts delivered a $40,000 donation to the Illinois Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (IRAEF) Restaurant Employee Relief Fund. With 15 markets competing to deliver the best performance, the enthusiastic competition was won by Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits of Illinois. This year in partnership with premier beverage distributor Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits, the Terlato Vineyards Legacy Program established a challenge with Terlato Vineyards Pinot Grigio, the top-selling luxury Pinot Grigio from Friuli, to fund a charity in honor of Tony Terlato. In 2014, he released Terlato Vineyards Estate grown and bottled Pinot Grigio from Colli Orientali del Friuli, Italy’s most renowned white wine region. With over 40 years of leadership in luxury Pinot Grigio, CEO Bill Terlato traveled to the Northeast of Italy in 2012 to create the next chapter for their family and the category. In recognition of his enduring contributions, Terlato has announced the Terlato Legacy Program: 1st Annual Anthony Terlato Tribute. Terlato passed away in June 2020, but the Terlato family, a proud four-generation family business, continue his mission of producing, importing, and marketing fine wines and giving back to their industry and communities.

His trailblazing career spanned more than sixty years, and he was regarded as ‘The Father of Pinot Grigio’. In 1979 Tony Terlato introduced American palates to Pinot Grigio and created a new category for white wine that remains in place to this day. The thought and detail that went into these boxes were superb.Throughout his career Anthony Terlato pioneered quality wines and had an enormous impact on American’s drinking habits and appreciation of wine and food. With your favorite bottle of sparkling wine in mind, Terlato has revolutionized the gift-giving experience. Cheers with a polka-dotted coup glass filled with bubbly and we had all the necessaries for a relaxing day by the pool. Basking in the allures of a Palm Springs bachelorette weekend, the floral Nino Franco Rustico was paired with all the sunny essentials: retro sunglasses, sunscreen, an Instax camera, and a stylish sarong wrap… just to name a few. The second box celebrated the joys of a desert getaway with your girlfriends. Top it off with two gold rimmed glasses for toasting and we were living la vie en rose! Paired with the fruity Piper-Heidsieck Brut and citrusy Santa Margherita Prosecco di Valdobbiadene were such staples as edible lavender, Dior lipstick, a countryside tea towel, and even a French phrase book for good measure. Let’s check out the first box, shall we?! Celebrating the opulence and romance of a French honeymoon, Camille Styles brought the delightful country to our doorstep with amazing detail. Most importantly, the entertaining guru carefully paired two bottles of sparkling wine with must-have items to maximize the experience. Curated by Styles, each kit highlighted a different milestone, from a summer bridal shower to a honeymoon in France.

Filled to the brim with thoughtful details, these kits take a wedding theme to the next level. To our delight (and farm animal-like squeals), we received two of these packages. Terlato Wines has teamed up with published entertaining author, Camille Styles, to create the dreamy wedding inspiration kits.
