Three New <strong>Wine</strong>s to Help Fight Pediatric Cancer<br />
by Les Mahler<br />
In early summer 2010, Watts <strong>Wine</strong>ry will be introducing three<br />
new butterfly label wines. The three new rele<strong>as</strong>es, which are part of<br />
Watts <strong>Wine</strong>ry’s effort to fight pediatric cancer, follow the April 2009<br />
rele<strong>as</strong>e of the butterfly label.<br />
“These labels have all been designed and<br />
the idea now is to expand the label,” said<br />
Craig Watts, owner of Watts <strong>Wine</strong>ry in<br />
Lockeford. For every bottle sold, 30<br />
percent of after-profit sales will go directly<br />
to childhood cancer research at UC Davis<br />
and Sutter Memorial Hospital, Sacramento.<br />
For Watts, the butterfly label rele<strong>as</strong>e isn’t<br />
just a charity drive; it’s more of a personal<br />
fight. In 2008, Sheri and Craig Watt’s<br />
second son, Kyle, w<strong>as</strong> diagnosed with<br />
Burkitt’s lymphoma.<br />
Kyle had to undergo surgery, weeks of<br />
chemotherapy, and later, months of testing. For now, the now 12-yearold<br />
boy is doing fine and he’s behaving like a normal boy, Craig Watts<br />
said. But oncologists at UC Davis said Kyle isn’t out of the woods just<br />
yet; that will take place after five years of being cancer free.<br />
The nightmare that Kyle and the family went through triggered the<br />
need to find a cure for pediatric cancer, Watts said.<br />
It w<strong>as</strong> after Kyle finished his surgery that Craig Watts thought<br />
about funding pediatric cancer research. And the only way he knew<br />
he could take on such a formidable foe w<strong>as</strong> through the family’s wine<br />
business. So, in April 2009, after Kyle had finished his l<strong>as</strong>t<br />
chemotherapy treatment, Watts <strong>Wine</strong>ry rele<strong>as</strong>ed the first two butterfly<br />
label wines, a California Red Blend and a Chardonnay.<br />
Why the butterfly? Because the butterfly is the international<br />
symbol for pediatric cancer, Watts said. “It symbolizes hope,” he said.<br />
