About Us

Driven by her love of great wine and a desire to support higher education, Pat Templeman founded Alumni Wine in 2009. Through strategic alliances with Bob Delf of Northwest Cellars and Lori Randall of Randall PR, Alumni Wine was established with the goal of raising money for universities and alumni associations.

In association with Bob Delf, Alumni Wine offers award-winning wines with grapes from  Washington State's premier vineyards. Both red and white varietals are available and are priced from $15-$22, with fifteen percent of the cost of every bottle going to fund scholarships and academic programs for participating universities. The wines can be ordered by the bottle, by the case, or by joining the Alumni Wine Barrel Boosters Wine Enthusiast Program.

At a time when many universities are struggling to maintain funding and are facing significant budget-cuts, Alumni Wine offers a flavorful way to support your participating university’s scholarship program. The award-winning wines feature the participating university's academically branded label with proceeds benefiting qualifying students.

Unlike other fundraising programs, Alumni Wine returns fifteen percent of the purchase price directly to the university to fund scholarships and academic programs. Our mission is to provide great wine which generates valuable donations to support higher education and lifelong learning.
