2015 GALA HONOREES
ELAINE & RICK JONES
As 2015 Foundation Gala Honorees Elaine and Rick Jones know
first-hand— hope is the feeling each of us wants, especially when faced with
a cancer diagnosis.
In early 2012, Elaine was diagnosed with Stage II Pancreatic Cancer. After
a complex surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, and follow up treatments
at the Martin-O’Neil Cancer Center, Elaine is in now three plus years in
remission from her cancer diagnosis.
Hope changes everything.
Through their tireless contributions to our community—whether chairing multiple record-breaking galas, serving on local boards, or giving back
generously to education and health care—Rick and Elaine demonstrate
leadership in all they touch. They understand the importance of making our
community a better place for all to live:
8
“This is our community and St. Helena Hospital is our hospital.
The realities of health care are such that we must all do what we can
to support a hospital of this caliber.”
– Rick Jones
Prior to his life in Napa Valley, Rick held successful careers at McKinsey &
Company and Safeway. When a traditional retirement didn’t suit Rick’s passion to stay busy, he and his family launched Jones Family Vineyards in 1996.
Today, he remains active in the daily operations and business developments
of their wine production. Rick is also highly involved with the Napa Valley
community and serves and has served on the St. Helena Hospital Foundation and Governing Boards, the Napa Valley Community Foundation, OLE
Health, the Napa Valley Vintners, as well as Napa Learns and the national
organization, Raising a Reader.
Elaine is the perfect match for Rick. She is equally as busy and devotes much
of her time to volunteer service for meaningful causes. She has served as the
working chair of seven Hospital Foundation Galas, which have earned over
$10 million for hospital equipment, capital, and services. She is President
of the Board of the UpValley Family Centers, and served on the integration
committee to merge the Calistoga and St. Helena Centers.
Hope is believing things can change.
Together, Rick and Elaine have selected the Napa Valley Breast Health Center
as this year’s beneficiary. Hope for a cure for breast cancer is most easily
achieved through regular screenings and early detection, along with stateof-the-art technology and the best specialists available. This is the vision that
Elaine and Rick share. With your help, this vision will be carried out at the
Napa Valley Breast Health Center and a new, higher standard of care will be
realized for all who live in the Napa Valley region.

BREAST HEALTH CENTER
AT ST. HELENA HOSPITAL
The Napa Valley Breast Health Center is a vision supported by Elaine and Rick
Jones, carried out in partnership with the Martin O’Neil Cancer Center of
St. Helena Hospital. The Center will provide a unique service for Napa
County and is enthusiastically supported by area colleagues involved with
Women’s Health.
Comprehensive breast care begins from the moment a patient comes through
the doors at the Napa Valley Breast Health Center. The dedicated team of
doctors, nurses, and staff includes an on-site radiologist and an experienced
nurse navigator who will provide patients with guidance, sensitive support,
information about the treatment process and options, and test results — all in
one space.
Women (and men) will no longer need to wait weeks to learn the results of
a mammogram, only to find out they need to schedule additional testing and
possible biopsies that prolong diagnosis even further. A new, streamlined
model of care will greatly reduce our patients’ anxiety and stress. Faster
turnaround times for testing, review of test results, and development of a
personalized treatment plan will result in better outcomes and experiences
for all patients.
The Napa Valley Breast Health Center will serve as a lifeline for patients,
combining state-of-the-art screening capabilities with compassionate,
individualized care provided by an exceptional team of specialists—all of whom
are committed to promoting breast health and earlier cancer detection.
Why Napa County Needs a Breast Health Center:
• Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common
cancer among women in the U.S., accounting for 29% of newly
diagnosed cancers.
• Breast cancer incidence and death rates generally increase with age.
79% of new cases and 88% of breast cancer deaths occurred in women
50 years of age and older.
• Every year, more than 200,000 American women are diagnosed with
breast cancer. In Napa County, approximately 121 new breast cancer
cases are diagnosed every year.
10
• Breast cancer does not only affect women. Each year, approximately
2,350 new cases of invasive breast cancer are diagnosed in men and nearly
20% of those will be fatal.
• 3-D mammograms have been found to accurately identify cancers
29% more often than traditional, 2-D digital or film mammography. Just
as importantly, women who undergo screening with 3-D mammography
are 15% less likely to be called back for further testing due to a suspicious
finding, later determined not to be cancer.
• 3-D mammography is not currently available in the Napa Valley. With
your support tonight, we can change that. Together, we can ensure the
latest technology to discover and diagnose breast cancer is available to all
who need it within the greater Napa Valley region—right here, right now.

COMING TOGETHER AT
MENDING WALL: SO MUCH MORE
THAN MEETS THE EYE
1
• Dinner for 8 Guests at Mending Wall Winery Featuring Five Decades of
Wines from Piedmont, Italy
• White Truffle Dinner Prepared by Esteemed Napa Valley Chef, Sean O’Toole
• Hosted by Kathy and Frank Dotzler, Thomas Brown and Genevieve Welsh
• A Selection of wines from Thomas Rivers Brown to take home
• Four Bottles of La Blonde Chardonnay, presented at the dinner
• To be Scheduled on a Mutually Agreeable Date in November or December 2016
Most people think of walls as separating properties. That is the lovely paradox
behind Robert Frost’s famous poem, The Mending Wall, which relates
the story of neighbors who come together because of a mutual wall. This is
the spirit behind Mending Wall Winery, a blissful venue that surprises by
delivering so much more than is visible from its exterior. It’s a casually elegant
venue that celebrates wine as a unifying force, a special bonding elixir that
brings together friends and family, provoking good feelings and laughter.
And, you won’t believe the amazing wines you’ll be having at this dinner!
Kathy and Frank Dotzler and Thomas Rivers Brown and Genevieve Welsh are
digging deep into their cellars to bring out five decades of spectacular wines
from the Piedmont region of northern Italy. These are glorious wines made
from the Nebbiolo grape; classical world-renowned Barolos and Barbarescos.
These remarkable wines demand an equally sensational dinner. In keeping
with the singularly distinctive aspects of this celebrated region, this dinner
will feature another fabulous Piemonte classic - white truffles! Prepared for
you by esteemed Napa Valley chef, Sean O’Toole, whose acclaimed Napa
restaurant, TORC, is adored for its sophisticated fare, this dinner will be
beyond extravagant.
This lavish evening will be made even more incredible by your dynamic hosts.
Wine enthusiasts need no introductions to the Dotzlers or to Thomas Rivers
Brown. Kathy and Frank have owned Outpost Winery and Vineyard since
2003 and have extended their passion and commitment to Mending Wall.
Thomas is one of the most decorated, admired and prolific winemakers.
He has received numerous accolades including Food & Wine magazine’s
coveted Winemaker of the Year. Thomas’ fine hand has influenced many of
continued on the next page...
14
Napa Valley’s most prestigious wines including Outpost, Maybach, Revana,
Jones Family, Seaver, Schrader, Casa Piena, Chiarello, Round Pond, and
Rivers-Marie, his personal wine label. Tonight, you’ll be taking home six
of these outstanding wines: Casa Piena, Jones Family, Maybach, Outpost,
Revana and Rivers Marie.
Treat yourself to a rare opportunity. In addition to an unparalleled evening of
unbelievable wine, food and company, diners will bring home four bottles of
La Blonde Chardonnay, created by Kathy Dotzler in memory of her mother’s
courageous battle with cancer. It is not sold in any stores and is available only
through charitable contributions. Sharing La Blonde with family and friends is
a demonstration of your commitment to ending cancer and generating hope.

penned songs for Reba McEntire, Brooks & Dunn, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lee Ann
Womack and Lady Antebellum. Her silky and sultry voice has thrilled millions
16
and enhanced duets with many of country music’s biggest names, including

recording with you at their nearby Cranesong Studios. If you choose, you can
even play an instrument or sing along and be included on your recording!
Your two days will be filled with beauty. From the glorious peaks at the

THE ELUSIVE GENIUS OF
MANFRED KRANKL —
SINE QUA NON
• A Unique Collection of Four Unobtainable Cult Wines and One Rare Book:
~ One 1.5L 2007 Sine Qua Non “Next of Kyn” Syrah
~ One 750ml 2008 Sine Qua Non “The Duel” Grenache
~ One 750ml 2009 Sine Qua Non “This is Not an Exit” Grenache
~ One 750ml 2010 Sine Qua Non Grenache “Stockholm Syndrome” Grenache
~ One Copy of Manfred Krankl’s The Art of Sine Qua Non
This lot is a celebration of the genius of cult winemaker and artist and
Manfred Krankl. In 1994, when he and his wife and business partner, Elaine,
launched Sine Qua Non, they had a dream to make a wine so distinctive and
delicious that it would be “indispensable to wine lovers the world over.”
Even these lofty and wishful goals underestimated the phenomenon that
Sine Qua Non has become. Each release of these ultra-prized wines,
referred to by wine writers as “drinkable art,” causes a feeding frenzy in
the wine world. These small production, highly allocated wines are virtually
unobtainable except on the secondary market. In fact, the 2007 Next of Kyn
reportedly sold out in less than 10 minutes!
A self-proclaimed “Rhône Ranger” who loves Grenache and Syrah, Krankl
does not adhere to strict French rules and embraces non-Rhone-origin grapes
which he believes can work well on a Rhone canvas. Treating every vintage as
a completely unique wine, each of the SQN wines enjoys a unique name and
original artwork on the label.
This quartet of wines is a treasure trove. Together they amassed a whopping
389 points from Robert Parker, with the 2010 “Stockholm Syndrome”
Grenache receiving a perfect 100 point score. Each wine has been highly
praised for the rich elegance and powerful finish that has become a hallmark
of Sine Qua Non wines. They form a lasting tribute to the winemaker’s
incredible talent and a remarkable reward for the lucky winning bidder.
As a bonus, the winning bidder will also receive a rare copy of
Manfred Krankl’s The Art of Sine Qua Non. This book contains beautiful
full color glossy pages with portions that fold out and details from Manfred
regarding his approach, thoughts and designs for all his inventive labels over
20
the years, including images of labels that never made it to the bottle.
The book was only offered to those lucky few on the exclusive SQN
mailing list. Available in a single edition print and never to be released
again, this is truly a collectable!
Those who love art in both drinkable and admirable form, will never find
another collection like this one!

EXOTIC AND INTOXICATING:
AN EVENING AT DARIOUSH
• An Evening with Shahpar and Darioush Khaledi for 8 Couples
• Guided Tour of Darioush’s Personal Wine Cellar
• One magnum of 2012 Darius II, the Crown Jewel of the Darioush Estate,
for each couple, presented at the dinner
Darioush is a vineyard estate that is both a destination and a journey.
Proprietor Darioush Khaledi was born and raised in Iran where he was trained
as a civil engineer. A lifelong entrepreneur, his fascination with wine was
instilled at an early age by his father’s winemaking efforts and the cultural
history of winemaking in Shiraz. Emigrating to the US seeking opportunity,
his determination and dedication resulted in building the largest familyowned grocery business in California. But it was his passion that drove him
to found Darioush Winery with his wife Shahpar in 1997. He sees this as the
realization of his American dream.
Darioush is a story of the harmonious blending of traditions - a culture of
graciousness and thoughtfulness and one rooted in the ideals of individualism
and opportunity. Born of the culture of Tarof, the thread of hospitality is
woven throughout Darioush. It is the art of politeness, rooted in a centuriesold tradition of going beyond one’s means to make the other person feel more
at home than home itself.
You’ll feel this extraordinary sense of sharing when you and your guests
are welcomed by Shahpar and Darioush Khaledi to their residence for a
delightful evening of wine, food, laughter, and friendship. Darioush will take
you for a tour of his personal wine cellar and regale you with the wonderful
stories that accompany his wines. This evening will be an experience to be
treasured and shared with those you love the most, certain to exceed your
most hopeful expectations.

ALL YOU COULD HOPE FOR AT
PEBBLE BEACH: THE PERFECT
GOLFERS’ GETAWAY
• Accommodations for 3 Couples at The Inn at Spanish Bay for Two Nights
• Unlimited Golf at the Monterey Peninsula Country Club for 2 days
• Private Golf Instruction by Celebrity Golf Pro, Parker McLachlin
• Alpha Omega Vintner Dinner at the MPCC Private Beach House
Golf may be the most hopeful sport. Each time a golfer brings clubs onto the
course, that person is convinced that today will be the day that their inner Rory
McIlroy, Tiger Woods or Inbee Park is about to be unleashed. And for six
intrepid golfers this lot might provide that golfing epiphany.
You’ll have the best of the best. Fabulous golf courses, a wonderful hotel, idyllic
settings, and a pro instructor: Parker McLachlin, who has been on the PGA Tour
for 12 years, who will really help your game. And, maybe best of all - you’ll have
easy access to Carmel-by-the-Sea and wonderful dinners to help you celebrate
your victories.
Nestled among majestic Monterey pines, The Inn at Spanish Bay combines style,
comfort, beauty and golf. With cozy fireplaces and a bucolic oceanside setting,
this resort provides a delightful getaway for everyone, but for the golfer it’s all
about the game.
You’ll have access to the world famous Monterey Peninsula Country Club in
Pebble Beach. Get ready to play on Pebble Beach Golf Links, ranked the number
one public golf course in America by Golf Digest, as well as three other awardwinning championship courses: Spyglass Hill, The Links at Spanish Bay and Del
Monte Golf Course.
And when you complete your day of golfing, you’ll be wined and dined in style!
Alpha Omega Winery will host the 6 of you for an exclusive Vintner Dinner in the
Monterey Peninsula Country Club’s private beach house on Spanish Bay where
you’ll be seated mere steps from the ocean among the Cypress trees. Relax with
treasured views, superb food and wine, and memories of a perfect day of golf.
And don’t forget nearby Carmel-by-the-Sea, the charming European-inspired
village situated above a beautiful white-sand beach, where you can stroll along
romantic paths or winding streets filled with interesting shops, art galleries
and cafes.

One 1.5L 2004 La Spinetta Barbera d’Alba Gallina

Robert Parker was captivated by its amazing balance noting an “uncommon
purity and elegance for such a full-bodied, massively concentrated wine.” And

The 2004 La Spinetta Barbera d’Alba Gallina is considered to be one of the

ideal. Full-bodied and engaging, with ripeness and structure, this magnum is
ready to be enjoyed now or cellared for at least another decade.
The 1964 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon is considered to be one of the
most characteristic of the beloved classic Bordelaise style Napa Valley wines. Its
nose hints of deep dark fruit, tobacco, red cedar, licorice and oak. This wine is
drinking beautifully and has all the elegance of an aged classed Bordeaux with
New World overtones.
28
The 1982 Château Latour, First Growth. Premier Grand Cru Classe is
another Parker 100-point beauty. He called it “the most opulent, flamboyant,
and precocious of the northern Medocs” and an amazing wine with lushness
and succulence. While gushing with numerous compliments and superlatives,
he summed up his review with this admonishment: “Don’t miss it if you are a
wine lover!”
If you love Sangiovese (and what wine lover doesn’t?), the
2001 Val di Cava Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Madonna del Piano
is a must-have. This remarkable wine is a ripe, ample Brunello with robust fruit
and remarkable finesse. It is considered at its peak right now and will remain so
for another decade. Parker called it “a beautifully delineated, chiseled wine of
the highest level.”
In his glowing review of the 2002 Abreu Madrona Ranch, Robert Parker
summed it up: this wine “has a level of aromatic intensity and complexity
that few in the world can match. If you have access to this world-class wine,
don’t hesitate to purchase--it is that special.” He awarded this wine a perfect
100-point score.
The 2002 Colgin, Tychson Hill is another wine that Robert Parker thought
was a perfect 100-pointer. He calls it a “real tour de force” and conjectures
that it tastes like a “hypothetical blend of a first growth Pauillac and a great
Napa Cab.” This is a true stunner, voluptuous and opulent, drinking perfectly
right now, and ready for you to take home tonight!
Chris Ringland is considered by most wine aficionados to be Australia’s
premier winemaker. His 2002 Chris Ringland (formerly Three Rivers)
Shiraz was awarded a perfect 100-point score by Robert Parker and has
been favorably compared with the best Syrahs of Guigal, Chave, Chapoutier,
Bratasiuk and Krankl. Noted for its full body and structure this is a wine that
will last well into the next three decades.

optimism, yet cancer continues to affect 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women in
the United States. Spend a fascinating evening with three amazing doctors
who are on the front lines of cancer treatment and research at the

gracious hospitality and sincere desire to make all of their guests feel welcomed

highly sought-after wines in the world, they are now bringing excitement to
wine lovers everywhere with their new endeavor, Accendo Cellars. The muchanticipated 2013 Accendo Cabernet Sauvignon will be released in 2016.
Dr. Gregory Smith, Medical Director of the Martin O’Neil Cancer Center,
has been a leading force in bringing hope to patients by opening doors for
participation in promising studies and clinical trials; through his efforts,
patients here in St. Helena are able to receive treatments that are usually only
available in major medical centers. Radiation Oncologist Dr. Stephen Banks
specializes in treating prostate cancer; he is one of the leading practitioners
of brachytherapy, the breakthrough procedure that has revolutionized the
treatment of this disease. Dr. Ethan Schram is Board-Certified in Oncology,
Hematology and Internal Medicine; among his recognitions are the Scripps
Health Nell and Tom Waltz Award for Leadership in Medicine, and the
Northwestern University Lynn Sage Breast Cancer Achievement Award.
Dr. Tate is particularly interested in targeted radiation therapy techniques
which minimize side effects of treatment.
Join them to learn more about how they are bringing hope to all of us.

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream.
A dream you dream together is reality.”
– John Lennon
Many would think San Francisco already has it all -- the iconic Golden Gate
Bridge, The Marina, Coit Tower, Ghirardelli Square, Pacific Heights – but
Jean-Charles Boisset knows that nothing is so good that it cannot be made
better. He is one of the dreamers, one of those marvelous few who see things
not just as they are, but as they could be.
Two extremely fortunate couples will join Jean-Charles and his beautiful and
accomplished wife, Gina Gallo-Boisset, for a San Francisco experience that is
certain to open your eyes to view this great city in a whole new light.
Your adventure will begin at the newly renovated, award winning Ritz-Carlton
San Francisco, a sophisticated urban retreat with recently reimagined guest
rooms. Conveniently located near the California Street cable car line and Pacific
Heights, shoppers can walk to Union Square, one of the most elegant retail
destinations in the United States. Named for the mass meetings held here prior
to the Civil War, Union Square remains one of San Francisco’s most vibrant
neighborhoods, where flower stands dot the sidewalks, cable cars run along
Powell Street and shop windows tempt passers-by with their colorful displays.
As twilight falls, you’ll be heading to the spectacular JCB Tasting Lounge, an
exquisite “jewel box of a room” just off the lobby of the Ritz-Carlton. There
34
you’ll sip wines of the highest quality — from the Russian River to Burgundy —
from the JCB and Boisset Collection portfolio.
Then it’s on to a spectacular dinner with hosts Jean-Charles Boisset and Gina
Gallo-Boisset just a few blocks away in their dramatic mirrored apartment with
soaring views of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, Coit Tower and Alcatraz.
You won’t want this night to end. But even when it does finally come to a
close, you’ll know that your membership in the JCB Collection will allow you
to return to the most glorious private tasting room in this city whenever you
choose, and receive exclusive invitations to signature JCB events and release
parties at properties throughout the state. And, each couple will also have a
wonderful bottle of The Surrealist by JCB to sip from the gorgeous Baccarat
Grand Burgundy Stems you’ll be taking home with you, while you peruse the
multitude of benefits you now enjoy with your new JCB Collector membership.
Sleep in the next morning and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before you head out
to explore San Francisco in a whole new way, guided by the unique vision of a
true dreamer.

YOU GOTTA HAVE HEART
• Two days with Dr. Gan Dunnington in the Adventist Heart Institute
• Dinner for 4 with Bridget and Dr. Gan Dunnington in their home on
Howell Mountain
For centuries poets, philosophers, and artists have explored the inner
workings of the human heart. But the winner of this lot will get to examine the
complexities of the human heart from a very different perspective.
Enter a world that is rarely seen by non-medical professionals when you join
board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon Gan Dunnington for 2 days at
St. Helena Hospital’s award-winning Adventist Heart Institute. Learn about
the fascinating world of heart surgery as you follow Dr. Dunnington in the
administration of minimally invasive complex cardiac procedures such as
the “hybrid” maze for treatment of atrial fibrillation, mitral valve repair and
replacements, or the VATS lobectomy for the treatment of lung cancer.
Dr. Gan Dunnington received his medical degree from Medical College
of Virginia and completed his residency at Stanford University where he
also served as Chief Resident of Surgery. In addition, he also completed a
fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Virginia. Prior to
joining us here at St. Helena Hospital, Dr. Dunnington was an assistant
professor at Stanford University and assistant director of cardiothoracic
surgery at El Camino Hospital, a Stanford University affiliate. We are proud to
have this renowned specialist as part of our staff and he is delighted to
share his expertise with you.
When he’s not saving lives in the operating room, Gan Dunnington is a
devoted husband and father. You and three guests are invited to share a
heartfelt evening with him and his accomplished wife, Bridget, in their
beautiful St. Helena home.

• One 3L 2012 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon
• One 1.5L 2012 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon
• An Amazing Full 10-Year Vertical of 750ml Bottles of Scarecrow Cabernet
Sauvignon: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012
and Fungi Prints by Bret Lopez
• Two-Volume Box Set of Flora
We are proud, humbled and honored to be able to offer you this amazing
collection of one of the world’s most famous and highly coveted wines –
Scarecrow! With wines from each of Scarecrow’s stellar vintages, this is the
kind of lot that brings wine lovers to their knees.
Bret Lopez and Mimi DeBlasio’s Rutherford estate has been dubbed “the
equivalent of a French Grand Cru” by Robert Parker. The prized Scarecrow
wines are created from vines planted there in 1945 by J.J. Cohn (Lopez’s
Grandfather) and lovingly hand crafted by award-winning winemaker Celia
Welch. Named after the resolute character in The Wizard of Oz, the beloved
film made at MGM Pictures where Cohn was Chief Production Executive, this
wine took the wine world by storm and became a legend in just three short
years after the release of their inaugural 2003 vintage. Wine writers have used
every imaginable superlative in praise of this wine including “perfect” in the
100-point review of the 2007 by Robert Parker, “impeccable” by Jim Laube in
reference to the 2004 vintage and “exceptional” in the Robb Report’s analysis
of the 2012 Scarecrow Cabernet.
Owners Bret Lopez and Mimi DeBlasio have donated this unbelievable
trove of Scarecrow, with wines from each of their ten released vintages,
including a rarely seen magnum and even more scarce 3L, in honor of
Rick and Elaine Jones and in appreciation for the hospital that they love.
Now, it’s up to you.
The winning bidder will also take home Flora and Fungi Prints by Bret Lopez,
a limited release two-volume box set of amazing photographs of flowers and
mushrooms gathered on walks through the J.J. Cohn estate.
If you concur with Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei that “Wine is sunlight,
held together by water,” then this spectacular auction lot is a super nova held
together with hope.

2015 FUND A NEED
The best cure for breast cancer is early detection. Regular screenings of
forming tumors with state-of-the-art mammography at St. Helena Hospital
and the Martin O’Neil Cancer Center is the key to saving lives.
2-D mammogram screenings were the mainstay until the development and
FDA approval of Tomosynthesis in 2011, commonly referred to as 3-D
mammography. Today, 3-D Mammography is the gold standard in leadingedge breast care.
3-D mammography rotates fully around the breast to take 360 degree
pictures in ‘slices’. When these pictures are layered upon each other,
an electronic 3-dimensional picture of the breast is revealed. With this
optimal image, every type of breast tissue may be effectively evaluated.
The increased clarity decreases the number of false positives (commonly
found with 2-D images) in patients, and detects even the smallest forming
tumors. Additionally, the technology pinpoints an area of concern within one
millimeter for more precise biopsies and faster diagnoses, so patients may
begin treatment immediately if necessary.
Tonight, we can make a significant impact through our support for the
Napa Valley Breast Health Center. We can fund the technology and the
team to make this service available locally, so patients will no longer need
to travel elsewhere for advanced 3-D screenings. But, we cannot do it
without your help. Please join us now in making this dream a reality for
women and men of the greater Napa Valley region.
