From rescues to life lessons, why dads are praised as lifelong mentors
From donating a kidney to their child to paying off their kid's credit card debt, a new survey revealed some of the most heroic dad acts in honor of Father's Day. In the survey of 2,000 Americans, one respondent shared, 'The most heroic thing my father has ever done for me was during Hurricane Harvey — he trudged through the waters to come get me.' Another reminisced, 'He stopped working and took care of me when I had a car accident.' The poll uncovered that dads truly are the most helpful heroes, with people sharing stories of selflessness and kindness. One person said, 'My dad came and stayed with me when I got a divorce and stayed until he passed away.' Conducted by Talker Research and commissioned by SweatBlock to spotlight how much dads have helped their children over the years, especially when it comes to building up their confidence, the study found that for those who grew up with a dad, most (70%) said their dad is one of their greatest mentors in life. Seventeen percent said their dad is the person they go to the most when they need advice and one in four (25%) shared that their father is the person they call first in a stressful situation when they need help or support. In fact, more than a fourth (29%) revealed they've called their dads for help in the last week. Some of the most heartwarming things dads have come to the rescue for have been helping their kid heal from a breakup (19%), making a rent payment their child couldn't afford (22%) and helping their child figure out their life goals (30%). According to the findings, dads have taught their children how to stand up for themselves (38%) and how to be their best selves (32%). They've helped their kids cultivate practical skills like driving (49%), fixing things around the house (43%) and changing a tire (31%) as well as interpersonal tools like problem solving (47%), communication (39%) and making a good impression (37%). According to respondents, when it comes to self-care, the dads have been helpful there as well, teaching their kids the importance of maintaining their physical (40%) and mental health (30%) as well as the value of splurging on yourself now and again (28%) and having a polished look and appearance (25%). Of the men who grew up with a dad, many learned how to tie a tie from their father (32%) and used their shaving cream (29%) and deodorant (26%) when they were young. More than a quarter (26%) even said their dad bought them their first deodorant. 'We commissioned this study in honor of Father's Day to showcase just how much we owe our dads — from teaching us all things practical, like how to drive, to essentials like how to make a good first impression and the importance of a polished, confident look,' said Chase Purles, chief executive officer at SweatBlock. 'Grooming is especially important for making a good first impression on someone and feeling confident in everything you do.' Looking at confidence more closely, most respondents (59%) rated themselves as 'very' or 'extremely confident.' More than six in 10 (61%) feel they handle stressful situations 'well' or 'expertly', but even so, 58% said they typically start sweating in stressful situations. A good number (39%) confessed they get embarrassed if they're visibly sweaty around others, and shared recent embarrassing sweaty moments like 'When I met my daughter's new boyfriend on FaceTime. Yes, I was embarrassed. I made fun of myself and told him I was sorry he had to meet me looking subhuman.' Or, 'I once had to give a big presentation at work with little preparation time. I was visibly sweating and felt embarrassed, but I took a deep breath, focused on the key points, and pushed through. Afterwards, I felt proud [of myself] for handling the pressure.' Examining people's essentials to feel confident all throughout the day, respondents said a good hair day (47%), strong deodorant (40%) and a stylish outfit (36%) are the most important must-haves. 'Being confident in yourself and your appearance will allow you to direct your focus to the most important things in your life,' said Purles. 'A strong, effective deodorant is key here. No one likes to be damp sweaty, especially when stressed and problem solving. As respondents said, it's one of the most crucial things for feeling poised all day long.' HEROIC DAD ACTS 'My dad donated his kidney to me.' 'He just paid off my credit card debt.' 'The most heroic thing my father has ever done for me was during Hurricane Harvey — he trudged through the waters to come get me.' 'He stopped working and took care of me when I had a car accident.' 'My dad came and stayed with me when I got a divorce and stayed until he passed away.' 'When I wanted to go into business and asked him to [be a] co-signer and put up his house as collateral and he did.' 'On my wedding day, he had to change [a] flat tire before we left for my wedding…it was truly stressful but we made it and his tuxedo did not get damaged.' 'My dad passed away when I was 14 but right before he passed he bought me tickets to go see my favorite singer in concert, George Michael, and he gave me money to buy stuff at the concert [and] it was a dream come true.' 'He worked several jobs in order to be able to afford to put me in college so I won't have to get so many student loans.' 'When I lost my job a few years ago, it was one of the most stressful moments. My dad immediately offered to assist us out financially until I could get back on my feet, which greatly relieved my burden.' 'When my first husband died and left me a widow when I was 32. My dad was there to do whatever I needed.'Talker Research surveyed 2,000 Americans; the survey was commissioned by SweatBlock and administered and conducted online by Talker Research between May 15 and May 19, 2025.

Father's Day Gift Guide 2025: Top Pinot Noir From Central Otago, New Zealand
A festive dinner party featuring Valli Wine. When it comes to Father's Day, a bottle of thoughtfully chosen wine never misses. But instead of the usual Cabernet or Scotch, consider something cooler — literally. This year, give the dad in your life a taste of one of the world's most exciting wine regions: Central Otago, New Zealand. Known for its cool-climate Pinot Noir, Central Otago produces some of the most expressive, age-worthy, and sustainably farmed red wines in the Southern Hemisphere, nay, the world. Whether your dad is a fan of Burgundy, a champion of sustainability, or simply enjoys an earthy, complex red wine with dinner, these six bottles will make you the hero of the holiday. Here are six top Central Otago Pinot Noirs to gift this Father's Day, selected for their character and sense of place. Next year, dad will be clamoring for the gift of a trip to New Zealand. One of several Pinot Noirs made by Valli. Founded in 1998 by pioneering Central Otago winemaker Grant Taylor, Valli was one of the first wineries to bottle Pinot Noir by subregion, highlighting the area's distinct terroirs. Today, the wines are made by Jen Parr, an Oregon-born winemaker with deep ties to New Zealand and a reputation for crafting expressive, site-specific Pinots. This 2023 release comes from Valli's estate vineyard in Bendigo, Central Otago's warmest and driest subregion. The site's north-facing slopes, low rainfall, and rocky soils yield concentrated, age-worthy wines. The 2023 vintage saw a mild spring followed by a warm, dry summer, producing fruit with good balance and pure flavors. Expect bold dark fruit, spice, and fine tannins in this powerful yet poised Pinot that captures the intensity of the Bendigo landscape. Wine to Find: Bendigo Vineyard, Pinot Noir, Valli, 2023, $62 The cellar door of Mt Difficulty features stunning views. Founded in the early 1990s by a small group of Central Otago grape growers, Mt Difficulty played a key role in establishing Bannockburn as one of New Zealand's premier Pinot Noir regions. The winery remains based in this warm, dry corner of Central Otago, where schist soils and long autumns consistently produce richly flavored wines. The 2022 Bannockburn Pinot Noir shows the signature intensity of the region: dark cherry, Szechuan pepper, and star anise on the nose, with layers of red and blue fruit on the palate. A savory undertone and baking spice carry through to a long, balanced finish. It's a polished, expressive red — ideal for dads who appreciate bold flavor and a sense of place. Wine to Fine: Bannockburn Pinot Noir, 2022, $57 The Glenlee vineyard shows the elegant, expressive side of Pinot Noir. Bottle shot of an older vintage. Current releases are 2021, 2022, and soon, 2023. Alan Brady planted the first vines at Gibbston Valley in the early 1980s, pioneering Pinot Noir in Central Otago. By 1987, the winery had released the region's first commercial bottling. One of its standout vineyards today is Glenlee, a north-facing site with stony glacial soils that produce deeply structured fruit. The 2021 Glenlee Pinot Noir comes from a vintage that started cool and finished warm and dry — a combination that allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. It opens with blackberry and floral aromatics, followed by red fruit and wild herbs on the palate. The structure is firm but not heavy, and the finish is long, elegant, and precise. A great pick for dad's who prefer a more fragrant, layered Pinot. Wine to Find: Glenlee Pinot Noir, 2021, $80 One of Central Otago's leading wineries, Felton Road has been a leader in both biodynamic farming and its vision for the region. Founded in 1991 by Stewart Elms and now owned by Nigel Greening, Felton Road is one of Central Otago's most respected wineries, known for its commitment to organic and biodynamic farming. Winemaker Blair Walter and viticulturist Gareth King have worked together for decades to craft site-expressive Pinot Noir from the Bannockburn subregion. The MacMuir Vineyard, located just east of Felton Road's original Elms Vineyard, features deep silt soils and high-density plantings. This 2022 release — only the second single-vineyard bottling from MacMuir — opens with a dark, herb-laced nose and restrained, earthy aromatics. On the palate, it shows fine structure and savory detail: chocolate, dried herbs, and layered fruit, all rendered with striking clarity. Wine to Fine: MacMuir Pinot Noir, 2022, $84 (pre-arrival sale) A Pinot Noir with dinner at Mount Edward. Founded in 1997 by Central Otago wine pioneer Alan Brady, Mount Edward is now run by owners John Buchanan and winemaker Duncan Forsyth. Based in the Gibbston Valley, the winery is certified organic and takes a low-intervention approach in both the vineyard and cellar. The 2022 Pisa Terrace Pinot Noir comes from a high-elevation site in the Pisa subregion, where long autumns and stony soils shape the fruit. This vintage leans savory and floral — think red and black berries, a sprig of wild thyme, and hints of allspice. It's velvety and refined with just enough grip to keep it grounded. Wine to Find: Pisa Terrace Pinot Noir 2021, $75 Royal Block Quarz Reef, one of the winery's most exceptional Pinot Noirs. Founded in 1996 by Austrian-born winemaker Rudi Bauer, Quartz Reef is based in the Bendigo subregion of Central Otago and is certified biodynamic. The Royal Series is a limited collection of single-ferment Pinot Noirs from the estate's densely planted vineyard blocks. The 'Anna von Tirol' bottling — now in its fourth release — comes from Block 12, referred to by the winery as the 'Royal Block.' The 2022 vintage opens with dark cherry, plum, and floral aromatics. The palate is rich and structured, with layered red and black fruits, sweet spice, and a finely textured finish. It's a full-bodied Pinot with both weight and precision — a standout choice for collectors or anyone looking to gift something singular and age-worthy. Wine to Find: Royal Series 'Anna Von Tirol' Pinot Noir, 2022, $83
