Introducing Papio, The Perfect Companion for Any Event

Portion Of Wine Proceeds to benefit the African Wildlife Foundation and Primate Care

(Napa, CA, Dec 1, 2003) - Finding the perfect companion can make anyone go bananas and sometimes the search can seem downright fruitless. But the introduction of "the monkey wine" - Papio, puts the fun back into selecting your perfect wine and ends your fruitless search. Monkeys were chosen to characterize Papio (a Latin term for baboon) wines because they are a nice reminder of what wine should be all about: being social and having fun.

Papio Wines decided to pay homage to its namesake by contributing a portion of its profits to the conservation of primates and their natural habitats through the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). AWF is the leading conservation organization focused solely on the African continent that is committed to the protection and continued existence of some of Africa's most rare and treasured species, including charismatic primates such as the chimpanzee, golden monkey, mountain gorilla, and bonobo. AWF has also pioneered the use of community conservation and conservation enterprise to demonstrate that wildlife can be conserved while people's well being is also improved.

We know it's a jungle out there. But, Papio Wines feel there is no reason to go bananas in the wine aisle. Papio's smooth and silky taste complements all types of cuisine and enhances any get-together. So sit back, relax, drink, donate, and be merry. Whether it's the tropical and citrus notes of the Chardonnay, or the hint of berry, floral, lavender and spice in the Cabernet Sauvignon, or perhaps the plum, wild cherry and smoky character of the Merlot, Papio delivers music directly to your taste buds. So grab your prime mate and create perfect harmony with the Papio wine that best expresses your individual spirit.
