Meet the Wines
Lovingly crafted by Wooldridge Creek Winery, each varietal is sustainably grown and bottled with purpose.
Whether gifting a bottle or stocking your cellar, every sip supports the wild things that can’t speak for themselves.
Red Tail Rosé
The Red-Tailed Hawk featured on this label was no ordinary bird. Her name was Happy, a fierce and vital part of Wildlife Images’ early history. Happy was a star, appearing in Buick commercials throughout the ’70s and ’80s. The funds generated through these commercials were instrumental in kickstarting our early wildlife rehabilitation and education programs and led to the formal incorporation of Wildlife Images as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Grants Pass, Oregon, in 1981.
Since then, Wildlife Images has rehabilitated and released thousands of wild animals back into their native habitats, provided critical care to countless others, and inspired generations through youth and adult education programs. This wine honors Happy’s legacy and her pivotal role in shaping our organization’s mission.
All profits from this bottle support Wildlife Images’ ongoing efforts to rescue and rehabilitate wildlife in need while delivering impactful education programs that connect people with nature. Each bottle purchased helps continue Happy’s story and safeguards the future of countless animals. Raise a glass with us to celebrate Happy and make a difference for wildlife everywhere.

Best Friends Cabernet
The unlikely duo on this label honors one of the most heartwarming friendships ever witnessed at Wildlife Images. Years ago, a tiny stray kitten wandered into the enclosure of Griz, a 560-pound orphaned grizzly bear. Instead of harm, Griz offered the kitten a piece of chicken—and a lifelong bond was born.
The kitten, eventually named Cat, became Griz’s inseparable companion. They shared meals, played together, and often curled up side by side. Their extraordinary friendship—full of trust, tenderness, and joy—became a powerful symbol of connection beyond species, size, and circumstance.
This wine celebrates Griz and Cat’s remarkable bond and reminds us that kindness can cross any boundary.
All profits from this bottle support Wildlife Images’ mission to rescue and rehabilitate wild animals, and to inspire people of all ages through education and connection with nature. Each bottle helps carry forward Griz and Cat’s legacy—and protect the future of wildlife everywhere.
Raise a glass to Griz and Cat—proof that friendship knows no limits, and that compassion can bloom in the most unexpected places.

Second Chance Chardonnay
Second Chance Chardonnay Honoring Phoenix, the Golden Eagle.
He was found near death, a fragile golden eaglet in the Oregon wilderness, rescued by a logger who saw something worth saving. That second chance changed everything.
Phoenix was taken in by Dave Siddon at Wildlife Images, and grew into a calm, intelligent, and inspiring presence. He spent his life not in the skies, but in classrooms and community programs, connecting with thousands of children and adults as a living ambassador for wildlife. His story became a beacon of hope — proof that even the most vulnerable among us can rise with care and compassion.
This Chardonnay honors Phoenix’s resilience and the gentle strength he carried through life. Every bottle supports Wildlife Images’ mission to rescue and rehabilitate animals in need, while inspiring the next generation to protect the wild world around them.
Flavor Profile:
Smooth, citrusy, subtly
