2/12/2015 - St. Helena, CA - The Napa Valley Vintners (NVV) wine trade association has announced a strategic partnership with J.P. Morgan as part of its ongoing efforts to work with a select group of companies whose brand values align with the quality of Napa Valley wines, along with philanthropic efforts in caring for the communities in which they do business.
The partnership between the two organizations will support the work of Auction Napa Valley—considered the must-attend charity wine event of the year and hosted by the NVV—in funding community health and children’s education nonprofits.
“We at J.P. Morgan are thrilled to be in partnership with the Napa Valley Vintners,” notes Peter Engel, vice chairman of the firm’s Corporate & Investment Bank. “Our participation and that of our clients in Auction Napa Valley through the years makes this a seamless coming together of two highly regarded organizations.
