Nola Singer Makes Sustainable Sips in Los Angeles

Los Angeles-based stylist Nola Singer[1] loves rosé—who doesn’t? But in an effort to marry her love of rosé and her dedication to finding homes for rescue animals, she launched Rescue Rosé[2]—a light and crisp Sonoma Valley wine. With more than a decade of experience rescuing animals (she has personally adopted five dogs), Singer knew she wanted to partner with her longtime friend Sasha Abelson’s organization Love Leo Rescue[3]. The Los Angeles–based nonprofit takes in rescue dogs, provides medical care and shelter and, most importantly, helps find them forever homes. A portion of proceeds from every bottle of Rescue Rosé sold is donated to Love Leo Rescue. “I wanted to help animals in a bigger way,” says Singer. “Eventually, the dream would be to have a sanctuary where you can drink wine, see the dogs and adopt them. Older dogs that don’t get homes could also live there.”

With a responsible mission behind her brand and a bigger vision for the future, Singer found a vineyard in Santa Rosa, California, that was the perfect match to produce her wine. “It was challenging finding the right partner, but I found Gravity Wine House that is certified sustainable and they have a lot of organic practices—they’re even solar-powered,” she says. In-person events for Rescue Rosé may have been postponed due to COVID-19, but Singer has embraced the digital world with virtual happy hours and has her light-bodied, floral rosé available at several stores in Los Angeles, including Larchmont Village Wine, Spirits and Cheese[4]. “I love rosé[5],” she exclaims. “I drink it all year round.” And now we all have a good excuse to.
