Proud Pour - Helping to Clean NY Harbor with Oysters

Proud Pour
Proud Pour OysterProud Pour is a new environmental wine start-up, located in New York City, that focuses on addressing major environmental problems - through wine.

Launched in 2014, Proud Pours first product will be "The Oyster" and it should be available by August 1st.

“The Oyster” is a Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc where every bottle restores 100 oysters to NY Harbor's historic (and functionally extinct) oyster population. As many of our readers know, reviving the oyster populations is supremely important for many reasons, and Proud Pour will help with:
  • Organically filtering up to 5,000 gallons of water daily
  • Helping sea plants receive sunlight by reducing excess nitrogen in the water
  • Creating reefs & habitats for fish, crabs, birds and other organisms.
NYC's Harbor has been severely neglected for nearly a century. Proud Pour is another great idea to help clean our waters!  You can help by purchasing and enjoying their wine.  We at Go Shuck An Oyster don't think that is too much to ask of our readers!  Cheers To Change.
