🌟 A Toast to Talent, Devotion & Community

This one-of-a-kind wine rack isn’t just a piece of functional art — it’s a heartfelt gift from someone who lives the spirit of giving. Crafted by the incredibly talented Rich Higgins, this stunning wine rack is a tribute to craftsmanship, love, and community.

Rich, along with his equally amazing wife Denise, is a cornerstone of our shelter’s “village.” Whether volunteering at events, lending a hand in daily operations, or transporting animals with compassion and care, the Higgins duo is nothing short of extraordinary. Rich has donated this piece not just as an artist, but as a cherished member of our extended shelter family.

Accompanying the wine rack is a curated collection of Borghese Vineyards’ Cabernet Franc, one of Long Island’s most exquisite wine producers. This vertical tasting set includes:

Together, these vintages offer a rare opportunity to taste the evolution of an exceptional varietal over time.
