Sip for a Cause - Celebrating RES Alumna Emily (Kainer) Walsh ’10 & Old Norwood Wines

We are so excited to share a wonderful opportunity brought to us by one of our very own alumna, Emily (Kainer) Walsh (Class of 2010), and her husband, Brendan Walsh. Together they co-founded Old Norwood Wines, a wine company rooted in community, the Catholic faith, and generosity.

Old Norwood Wines takes its name from the Chicago neighborhood where Emily and Brendan both grew up, and it’s built on a mission of “raising spirits and strengthening communities.” 

What makes Old Norwood Wines truly special is its commitment to giving back. A significant portion of proceeds from every bottle sold supports Catholic schools, parishes, and charitable organizations.

Here’s the exciting part for the RES community: Emily and Brendan have generously partnered with our school and created a special discount code just for us: “BANDITS” that you can use when ordering wine directly from Old Norwood Wines.

Why it matters: You’ll get wine shipped right to your door. There is a red and white wine offering with 50% of the money from orders using this special code will be donated back to RES! This means every bottle you order isn’t just a treat, it’s also a direct support to our school. 

Please visit here to purchase the Vitis Vera Pinot Grigio or Vitis Vera Red Wine which both support RES: https://oldnorwoodwines.myshopify.com/ 

We are incredibly grateful to Emily and her husband for sharing this opportunity with us. Their generosity strengthens our community and creates a meaningful way to contribute to RES. We are so proud of Emily, not only for her entrepreneurial success but for her heart in giving back.

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or looking for a thoughtful gift idea, consider supporting Old Norwood Wines and Resurrection by using code BANDITS at checkout. Cheers to community, charity and faith, and Bandit pride!
