Immediate Source of Acquisition
The items in the collection were purchased from Black Eagle Wines in April of 2009.
The United Farm Workers (UFW) agricultural labor union began selling Black Eagle Wines in
2008. The union's wines were made from Napa Valley grapes grown by UFW members. The UFW
introduced the wine on Cesar Chavez Day, 2008, and the proceeds went to the UFW.
The collection contains two Black Eagle wine glasses and a wooden gift box with two bottles
of United Farm Workers' Black Eagle Wines: a 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2007 Estate
Sauvignon Blanc. There is also a folder with information about the company.
The collection is arranged alphabetically by file title.
