Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.#Cabernet Day takes place worldwide on September 2 and everyone is encouraged to drink red, tweet tasting notes on red while wearing something red.
Kenny Galloway of Domaine du Closel, Château des Vaults, a family-run, organic winery/vineyard in Savennières, France, explained to Relaxnews on August 25 that "#Cabernet Day is two-fold ... first and foremost it is a worldwide celebration of all Cabernet-based wines, meaning cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and cabernet blends, plus including rosés... the second aspect of this event is a celebration of the new and growing link between wine and social media, most particularly Twitter, Facebook, wine blogs, YouTube, etc..."
Social media guru Rick Bakas at St. Supery Vineyards & Winery in Napa Valley, California is the brainchild behind this celebration and over 20 other # wine days.
This global event has many wineries, shops and restaurants celebrating with special cabernet tastings and dinners. Here is a list of events: http://cabernet.eventbrite.com/
