The owner of Joel Gott Wines, Joel Gott, stated that he “absolutely believes that every family deserves food on the holiday table.” “The work we do for Gott’s restaurants and our wine brand, both of which aim to unite friends and families around a table, is a logical extension of this charitable endeavor.
