Through the Wine for Scholarships sales, your purchase of Br. Timothy Cabernet Sauvignon — in bottles sized from standard 750ml to keepsake bottles at 3L and 6L — proceeds will go to support the Lasallian mission, which strives to promote a human and Christian education to the young especially the poor.
Just as Brother Timothy believed in his mission as a Christian Brother and science teacher, so did he pour his heart and soul into finely crafting the best wines. For Brother Timothy, there was never a conflict between making the wine and pursing an educational mission. He once stated: “What I say is that a little wine in moderation seems to have been good for me.”
Today, the Christian Brothers and their Lasallian partners continue to place their greatest focus on the need for improving the education of young people. We invite you to share in the legacy of Brother Timothy by your support for Lasallian education.
About Br. Timothy Diener (1910-2004) Br. Timothy Diener was a renowned pioneer among the Christian Brothers and California vintners alike. After Prohibition ended, Br. Timothy was the winemaker for Christian Brothers for many years at Mont La Salle in Napa, CA.
In 2003, a number of wine makers paid tribute to Brother Timothy on his 75th anniversary as a Christian Brother. Guests included Robert Mondavi, who characterized his friend and fellow vintner as one of a handful of industry pioneers.
“He was a legend; he was the heart of the industry,” -Robert Mondavi.
