FAIR PLAY , CA, USA , November 15, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — In 2020, veteran wine executive Jill Osur left a lucrative role in the industry, just as corporate America was wrestling with how best to comment on and respond to social issues. Osur’s answer was the creation of Teneral Cellars, driven by her belief that wine can be a conduit for change; a force for gender equity and social justice within the wine industry and our culture at large. With wine collections dedicated to women’s health, the 50th anniversary of Title IX; the LGBTQIA community and its allies, among others, Osur and her brand have been covering important ground — impact visible in the $51,000 in donations given to relevant organizations in 2021, including the National Women’s Law Center, World Central Kitchen, Generation W, Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, and Endometriosis Foundation of America. In 2022, support from Teneral Cellars’ efforts will focus on The Billie Jean King Leadership Initiative, as well as Women of the Vine & Spirits Foundation, Supermajority and the National Network of Abortion Funds.
Osur is determined to use Teneral Cellars as a catalyst for connection and crucial change, and the impact of her efforts is evident. This past week, Osur and Teneral Cellars were heralded by acclaimed state and global organizations for outstanding leadership in business and social impact, including:
