EFESTĒ hosts Rockin’ Sips every March. The winery has raised over $$330,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society since the inception of this benefit and the sale of “Tough Guy.”
Through our annual fundraising event, we can donate directly to the life-saving blood cancer research that benefits patients diagnosed with the disease Joe suffered through! Consequently, the wine Tough Guy, named in honor of Joe’s spirit during treatment, helps raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).
A heartfelt thank you to Our Rockin Sips 2024 Sponsors DJ Zilla (@zilla.killa), Regent Restaurant, Bakery, and Bar; EFESTĒ, Peterson Cheese and our drawing items sponsors: Willows Lodge, Radmor Golf, and EFESTĒ.

A big shoutout to Washington Trust Bank for their generous sponsorship, making this night memorable. Your support fueled the fight against blood cancers!
TOUGH GUY
EFESTĒ donates a portion of proceeds from the sale of their “Tough Guy” red wine, named after Joe for the nickname he earned during his fight against Leukemia, to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The first vintage of “Tough Guy” was in 2008.
This red opens with bold, fruity aromas of ripe plum and blackberry. The palate reveals smooth, silky tannins accompanied by lingering hints of tobacco and spice. This wine is anything but subtle, offering a rich, expressive profile that reflects the earthiness of our Taylor Mag Estate Vineyard in its enduring finish. Its robust character and vibrant flavors make it a fantastic choice for those with a love for wine, and a passion for supporting great causes!
