June 3, 2025 (Calistoga, CA) — Frank Family Vineyards, one of Napa’s most beloved and iconic wineries, has announced that 15% of proceeds from every bottle sold of the 2024 Leslie Rosé will benefit Dress for Success, a nonprofit whose mission is to empower women to achieve economic independence. This partnership holds personal significance for Frank Family Vineyards Co-Founder Leslie Frank, who was a board member of the organization’s Seattle, WA chapter in the early 2000s when she was the evening news anchor for FOX 13.
Since its inception in 1997, Dress for Success has established itself as the leading global nonprofit employment resource for unemployed and underemployed women. Through the organization’s no-fee career development, job skills preparedness mentoring and coaching, financial education, and professional attire services, the women it serves are provided with the tools and skills necessary to succeed in the workplace and in their personal lives.
“Dress for Success has long held a special place in my heart,” says Leslie Frank. “As a former board member, I’ve seen firsthand the profound impact this organization has on women who are striving to build a better future. Supporting this mission through proceeds raised from our 2024 Leslie Rosé is an honor, it’s a way to invest in women’s potential and help provide the confidence, resources and opportunities they need to succeed both professionally and personally.”
This initiative also reflects Frank Family’s deep-rooted commitment to giving back. In 2018, the winery founded “Frank for a Cause,” an annual philanthropic endeavor that raises funds for non-profits. To date, the winery has conducted eight campaigns to benefit national and local organizations including 4ocean, K9s For Warriors, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Feeding America, Autism Speaks and more. As vintners, Rich and Leslie Frank believe that giving back is among their most meaningful work, and they continue to seek ways to support the broader community.
A tribute to Leslie’s endless contributions, the 2024 Leslie Rosé perfectly embodies its namesake’s sophistication and spirit. Crafted in a Provençal style, the Leslie Rosé is made from Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from some of the best parcels in Napa’s Carneros region, including Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard, located along the shores of the San Pablo Bay. The cooling effects of the bay as well as the nearby Pacific Ocean allow for graceful maturation of the grapes and retention of vivid flavors. The resulting wine displays fresh aromatics, mouthwatering minerality and beautiful balance—hallmarks of Frank Family Vineyards’ style.
The 2024 Leslie Rosé is available for purchase through the winery’s website and tasting room.
