Pride Month is a great way to bring awareness to the community and embrace a message of inclusion. And while June certainly highlights this awareness, carrying this message throughout the year and on a daily basis is important for the LGBTQ+ community. Be proud to be an ally…and, while you’re at it, have some fun Napa Valley style!
Cheers to you and Happy Pride!
