DRINK AS MUCH WINE AS YOU CAN THIS WEEK >>>

If you're looking for more fun way to donate your money to help Japan, fret not. Pour At Four wine bar in Tacoma's Proctor District will donate one dollar for every glass of wine sold this week to relief efforts in Japan. Read the press release from owners Mark and Susan Merrill:

The devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear tragedies recently in Japan have touched us all.

We at Pour At Four feel especially close to the people and events of Japan. As many of you know, Susan is not only one of the owners of Pour At Four, but is a flight attendant with Delta Airlines. One of Susan's main routes over the last 8-10 years have been to Japan. She flies over 30 trips a year there and in fact has been back three times since the earthquake.

Susan has seen firsthand the struggles and needs of the Japanese people, and we want to help. On one of those recent trips, Susan sought out a way to donate directly to the Japanese Red Cross. The Carlson Hotels Worldwide, who owns Susan's layover hotel in Narita, will match our donation dollar for dollar.

During the week of April 4, 2011 Pour At Four will donate one dollar for every glass of wine sold. Susan will deliver the donation herself on her trip to Japan on April 21, 2011.

So when enjoying wine at Pour At Four this week, raise your glass to a positive future for the people of Japan and continue to keep them in you thoughts during these difficult times.
