Hedges Family Estate to be Preferred Wine of LeMay - AMERICA'S CAR MUSEUM

(Tacoma, WA) - LeMay - America's Car Museum(r) is proud to announce the
recent sponsorship agreement with Hedges Family Estate, and has named
Hedges as the Preferred Wine of LeMay - America's Car Museum.  The
agreement provides that Hedges Estate premium wines will be served at
Museum functions, and also provides additional funding over the course
of five years, bringing the total donation amount to $100,000.  

 

Hedges Family Estate is a family-owned winery located on the slopes of
Red Mountain in Washington, just outside of the Tri-Cities. It was
started by Tom and Anne-Marie Hedges who brought their first vintage to
market in 1987.  

 

 
"We're delighted to have Hedges Family Estate wines as the Preferred
Wine for the Museum," said President and CEO David Madeira. "This is a
significant donation and shows how wide and varied the support for the
Museum and its efforts are in Washington State. I'm particularly pleased
with this commitment as Tom is a true "car guy" and looks forward to
promoting enthusiast events for the Museum in wine country." 

 

Tom Hedges of Hedges Family Estate expressed his excitement for the
partnership.  "We're extremely pleased to be a part of building the new
Museum, and quite happy to help the Museum offset membership
entertainment costs by having our wine served at events and gatherings
for the Museum," said Mr. Hedges. 

 

The Hedges Family Estate Chateau was dedicated in 1995 and houses a
fully functioning winery and tasting room, with views of the Hedges
Estate Vineyards.  Visitors to the Winery are welcome on Fridays and
Saturdays, March through December, or by appointment.  For more
