Furry Scurry fun!


One of Cru Vin Dogs favorite events of the year is happening this Saturday. 

It’s the 19th annual Furry Scurry!

The Furry Scurry is a two mile walk in Wash Park that benefits the Dumb Friends League. And for the second year in a row, Cru Vin Dogs is a part of it!

Last year, Cru Vin Dogs showcased the not-yet-released Loyal Companion wines at the Furry Scurry. These wines are part of our “Save a Life, Pour It Forward” movement – where we encourage people to share the Loyal Companion Chardonnay and Red Blend with their friends and family, knowing that they are helping a canine friend in need. For every bottle sold, $0.50 goes back to a local animal shelter. In the Denver metro area that charity is the Dumb Friends League and in 2011 we donated over $4,600 to them based on the sales of The Loyal Companion!

It’s not just the charities who have noticed the wines: The Loyal Companion Red Blend has received 88 points and “Best Buy” status from Wine Enthusiast. It also received a gold medal from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. The Chardonnay has received a bronze medal from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and 88 points from Food & Beverage World.  

This year, we are going even further by promoting the Furry Scurry with the Loyal Companion Feature. You can help the Dumb Friends League, even if you can’t attend the actual Furry Scurry -- just look for this smiling face in the windows and wine stacks at your favorite restaurant or liquor store. Pick up a bottle of the Loyal Companion wines at any of those locations and $0.50 of every bottle will help support the 19th annual Furry Scurry.

If you are attending the Furry Scurry, be sure to stop by our booth and say "hello".
