About This Project

Hey there, friend!

Over this short campaign, we're raising funds to manufacture a limited-run, patent-pending product that will be available for purchase here and here alone.

My hound (a true street/ice-storm rescue), Dewayne, died in late 2016 when I was just about to launch. So, in honor of him and to champion all other rescues, I am giving away every surplus penny (aside from actual campaign-associated charges, actual manufacturing costs and actual shipping costs) to bonafide animal rescue beneficiaries. While Wineboxy is NOT a non-profit, this is just somethin' I gotta do.

Thanks to Andrew Grant's generosity, this very-first Wineboxy model will feature amazing dog pics as the full design. There's also an area for a personal message, so when you show up to the party with your Wineboxy gift, you needn't even purchase an additional greeting card; this is a 2-in-1 deal.

Believe me: This thing is going to be very fantastic and very great.

Why Wineboxy?

In late 2015, about a hundred friends crowded my dimly-lit backyard to tackle a full bar that included wine, whiskey, champagne, IPAs, wine, cheese, sushi and wine.

The next morning, I found that I had not just a few bottles of wine, but several cases left over.

The storage space in my place wasn't wide open, and I refused to buy a standard, junk rack from China or Indonesia or wherever . . . So, I gathered twelve shoe boxes and built some makeshift wine racks of my own. Weeks later, I had a prototype, and by the Hammer of Thor, it worked.

The lasting mock-up, although basic and bland, has been on my kitchen counter for months, and it reminds me to enjoy life and start something good, daily.

Wineboxy is the light-weight, flat-shipped, kitschy wine rack that's Made in the USA for people, who want something cool on their counters to store the wine that will most-certainly be consumed in health and in happiness.

Eat, Drink and Be Boxy.

$17,777 Tipping Point Goal

Let's talk transparency.

Campaign fees ain't cheap; the product could cost around $4/box; and shipping is about $3/box. The add-ons in certain levels of contributions will be bought as cost-effectively as possible and the remainder, I'm giving away.

In order for this campaign to actually work, we must manufacture at least 2,000 units; however, moving 5,000 units will cost a total of around $6/box and would generate a surplus of around $40K for the beneficiaries.

While your purchasing activities here are NOT "non-profit" or "tax-deductible," I'm 100% committed to transparently giving away the exact surplus to trusted animal rescue beneficiaries.

Finally, here are very special thanks to: Andrew Grant (andrewgrantphoto.com), Luke Bryce (lukebryce.com), David Chernak (dcfilmsla.com), Dan Kleiman, Jody Friedman (hdmusicnow.com), my wonderful family and friends . . . And of course to all the dogs, I've loved before.

I encourage you to send an email to [email protected] and name a beneficiary from the list (below). You are also welcome to name another trusted animal rescue non-profit as you see fit. When the campaign ends, you will receive a prompt via email that will ask you to name your beneficiary. If you do not name a specific beneficiary, your earmarked surplus will be split equally between the five beneficiaries listed below.

Thanks to ALL of you for participating.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY SIGN OF LIQUID STAIN VOIDS REFUND, but please contact me anytime to discuss.

$19,800 Stretch Goal

With 450 additional backers ordering "My Wineboxy" and 450 additional ordering "One for Me, One for You," we'll manufacture and ship an additional 1,350 units, which would lower the overall cost per unit -- creating a more impressive surplus for the beneficiaries.
