2023 Foundation
“The Pillars of Foundation – All good ideas start with a passion. All great ideas prosper with a team.”
The ivory label of Foundation is shaped like an ice rink, decorated with subtle skate mark patterns as a tribute to the professional hockey careers of Cam Ward & Tim Gleason. The right bank Bordeaux inspired Foundation has the roman numeral III to symbolize the founding members, Jason Earnest, Ward and Gleason, embossed in silver foil to recognize the Silver Medal won by Gleason playing for Team USA in the Vancouver Olympics.
