Our StorySeptember 30, 2007
My name is Charles Kamins and my wife Teresa and I are the sole owners of www.HolyWineOnline.com and the Napa Valley Sacramental Wine Company.
People may wonder how it is that we came to be making holy wine in Napa Valley. It’s a pretty good story so I’ll tell you.
Here’s the short version: As Unificationists we don’t really drink much wine and, well, 300 gallons is a lot of wine to give away. However in 2004 when True Parents created Cheon Il Guk Holy Wine and made it available to members to multiply and bless people with, I decided to bottle my 300 gallons and give it away to FFWPU members. That 300 gallons was gone in no time. Suddenly people were calling me from around the country asking where they could get some of my Napa Valley holy wines. When True Parents came to San Francisco on the ‘United We Stand Tour,’ I bottled up the remaining holy wine I had in a 5 liter ‘Jereboam and asked Pastor Kevin Thompson to take it to Father and ask him to autograph it. On a lark I suggested Kevin tell him that we’d auction it off on E-Bay for a million dollars if he’d autograph it. Father’s response: “Only a million?” Well, he signed it and only then did I realize that I’d need a alcoholic beverage license to sell that priceless bottle and keep my promise. That was two years ago, today. This website is the result of that brief encounter and I hope you will find it helpful in your life of faith. Blessing friends, neighbors and family with holy wine is a most wonderful way to witness to the new covenant that God has established for all mankind. On the pages of this website you will soon find internal guidance about the value and benefits of CIG holy wine as well as testimonies and suggestion on how to serve it and share it with friends and family. We’ll do our best to make this website a blessed place for all visitors. Please come back often and tell all your friends.

Hi, I was hoping someone would bottle holy wine. When multiplying holy wine we have to open it, so you can’t really take it to relatives or friends as a gift and do the holy wine ceremony with a open bottle of wine. I like the idea of being able to share the holy wine with a sealed bottle.
By the way did you ever sell the bottle of wine signed by True Father on Ebay?
I celebrated my 50th birthday in Sept. My family booked a local hall and we invited everyone we knew. There were at least 37 people there, of whom 17 were non- UC members. After everyone had arrived and settled in and got some coffee and dessert, my husband announced that we would now offer a toast for the birthday girl. He explained that we had ordered some special, Holy Wine for the occasion and that the wine would bring a blessing upon those who would participate in the toast. Everyone joined in, including some Mormon friends , whio were delighted that we had prepared some special grape juice just for them.
We also had some large three-wick Holy Candles burning throughout the evening. The atmosphere was very friendly and joyful. The wine bottles ( we chose Joan of Arc) were so gorgeous, we were proud to say that we personally know Charles Kamins of Kamins Ranch. A friend who is an organic farmer and has a certificate in micro-brewery, was particularly interested in hearing about Kamins Ranch.
We are praying for those who received the holy wine for the first time, that they can be abundantly blessed by heaven.
