Frank Family Vineyards x The Humane Society of the United States
Ending Animal Cruelty
In 2021, the Frank Family team bid farewell to rescue pup, Bristol, a beloved chocolate lab who served as our official winery greeter, harvest helper, and Winemaker Todd Graff’s “right paw” for 15 years. In his honor, Frank Family Vineyards partnered with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), whose incredible work for animals is a fitting tribute to Bristol’s memory. By donating a portion of proceeds from the sale of our Napa Valley Merlot as well as matching donations on Giving Tuesday, we proudly raised $25,000 to help end the cruelest practices toward all animals, care for animals in crisis, and build a stronger animal protection movement.

Bristol served as our official winery greeter and harvest helper for over a decade. He walked our vineyards at Todd’s side weekly and we were all saddened to lose his presence. Our partnership with The Humane Society of the United States is a fitting tribute to Bristol’s memory, and our entire family’s love for dogs.
