2010 St. Matthew’s Christmas Faire
Rejoice in the Gift of Giving
Live and Silent Auction Catalog
Friday November 19, 2010
Six O’clock in the Evening
Dear Ones,
This will be my third Christmas Faire and I am confident that this year will be as joyous as
the past two. When I see the generosity and love of the community that is St. Matthew's
made tangible during the magical Friday evening it warms my heart. As the economy
struggles to recover its footing, the need for the services of our outreach partners grows.
And, while these fiscal woes continue to weigh on all of us, it is a testament to the entire St.
Matthew’s community to see people go the extra mile to contribute and to bid on the
terrific offerings from all of the auctions knowing that every penny will go to the outreach
ministries of our parish.
Yes, all of the net proceeds from the Faire go to the Parish’s outreach partners. This is a
terrific reason to rejoice in the gift of giving at the Christmas Faire with generous hearts –
and open pocket books. People both near and far will benefit from the funds raised
tonight; orphans in Africa, children in Belize, the children of prisoners and the prisoners
themselves, homeless teens and adults will receive help because of the funds raised
tonight. On behalf of the recipients of our outreach grants, I challenge each and every
one of you to join me in making this year's Christmas Faire even more successful in
building community and generating outreach dollars.
The faithful, good souls on the Christmas Faire Committee work tirelessly to make the
annual Christmas Faire both enjoyable for our community and to generate the much need
funds to fuel our outreach partners simultaneously. When you encounter them, thank
them, for they are the heroes of the Christmas Faire. I like the analogy of the duck
swimming smoothly across the surface of a pond. The Christmas Faire, so superbly well
planned and executed seems smooth and effortless just like that duck. But under the
surface and unseen, the orange duck feet are paddling madly. The Christmas Faire
Committee works tirelessly to have the Faire be smooth and accessible to the rest of us
and believe me they have been paddling madly! Please, join me in supporting their efforts
and attend the Faire.
The generous offering of underwriting, of vacations, dinners, wines, gift cards and the
many other treats to be auctioned off on Friday, November 19th are a wonderful way to put
the commercial onslaught of Christmas under the discipline of Christian stewardship. We
can and do have great fun at the Christmas Faire, AND, we do Christ's work in the world
in the process by excelling in generosity as we bid at The Faire.
I cannot think of a better way to rejoice in this season of giving than to care for "the least
of these" whose welfare Jesus places in our hands. Rejoice in the gift of giving and help
bring the blessings of Christ to those in need in the season of Christ's coming! Dear Ones,
come to the Faire!
Love,
Howard

Dear Friends of St. Matthew's,
We are delighted to welcome you to the 2010 Christmas Faire. On behalf of the Parish
of St. Matthew and St. Matthew's Parish School, we want to thank you in advance for
supporting this wonderful Christmas tradition. Our theme this year is “Rejoice in the
Gift of Giving.” As we are taught in Luke, “give, and it will be given to you…for the
measure you give will be the measure you get back.” We hope that this evening will
give back to you in ways similar to the blessings the chairs have received in planning it.
We are grateful to all of you who donated your time, energy and other resources to make
this event possible. Thank you; you’ve given us more than we could hope to give back.
All of the net proceeds from this evening will go directly to our Outreach partners (listed

makes this event a success. We want to extend a special thank-you to all our Christmas
Faire volunteers who have devoted endless hours to creating and planning this special
evening.

EUIP is part of the Episcopal Service Corps (ESC), a network of young adult
programs within the Episcopal Church that work for social change and personal
transformation through service to others.
Ojibwa Sustainable Organic Products
The Ojibwa (also known by their Anglican name Chippewa) are amongst the largest group
of Native Americans living in the US and Canada. Their roots on this continent go back
some 500 years.
A little more recently, a gentle soul named Howard Anderson called them neighbors in his
native Minnesota. It is Howard’s wish to share the greatness of the Ojibwa traditions with
our Parish that has enriched our Christmas Faire for the past three years with the Ojibwa
Boutique which sells some of the organic, sustainably produced delicacies produced on
the Minnesota Reservation next to Howard’s childhood home. By purchasing these
products, you support our outreach partners and the Ojibwa economy – and your palette.
Maple Syrup (si-si-ba-kwaf) symbolized good relations between people and harmony
between the physical and spiritual worlds. The sugar-making season (like Thanksgiving)
was a time to give thanks, honor the deceased, and pray for safety, health, and long life.
Wild Rice (mah-no-mim) is a central part of the Ojibwa culture and tradition. The Native
Americans who originally harvested this grain relied on it as an essential part of their
winter food supply. Teams of tribesmen in canoes harvest this rice. Doing so honors the
Ojibwa traditions – and protects the crops The Ojibwas continue to campaign to protect
wild rice standards, combating genetic manipulation, and fighting the misrepresentation
of paddy rice as wild rice.
Muskrat Coffee (or "black medicine" as the Ojibwa call it) is culled from small batches
of specialty from the White Earth Reservation in Northern Minnesota. This coffee comes
from a worldwide market of indigenous communities who grow their beans sustainably.

VOICES ON HIGH
Be blown away by the amazing sound of the LA Master Chorale with two tickets to the concert on 12/12/2010 at the Walt
Disney Concert Hall at 7PM. Grant selected Mozart’s magical re-orchestration of Handel’s beloved Messiah for our classic
holiday offering this season. Mozart added instruments normally used in a late 18th century symphony -- French horns,
flutes, clarinets -- and expanded the strings, giving them a greater role and the popular oratorio a fuller sound. This
symphonic and sensuous arrangement demands every member of the Chorale in this full-length Messiah -- a feast for the
musical palate. This year, you can sit back and bask in the glorious sound of our great chorus as it performs this
traditional favorite.

PETER MICHAEL #1
2003 Les Pavots Chardonnay (magnum)
The flagship of Peter Michael in a very hard to find magnum form. This wine was purchased directly from the winery and
stored horizontally in a climate controlled cellar. Fill level, label, and cap are without fault.
Robert Parker: 94 Points
The 2003 Les Pavots (61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 13% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot) exhibits notes of
melted licorice, tapenade, damp earth, black currants, and cedar. Slightly more herbaceous than the 2004, with notions
of barbecued meat as well as blue and black fruits. Drink between 2008 and 2020.

2001 MAISON CAMILLE GIROUD CHAMBERTIN CLOS DE BEZE #1
Region: Burgundy, France
Allen Meadows' Burghound: 91-94 Points
Explosive and spicy black fruit nose that offers even more volume that the RSV if not quite the phenomenal purity. The
flavors are classic young Beze with rugged, intense, indeed even stout yet this has so much velvet that it is utterly
seductive. This finished with amazing power and length and at present, the firmly tannic backbone is entirely buffered.
Extremely impressive and like all of these wines, this is built to last for decades.
Donor: Laurel and Andrew Beyer

Here is another bottle!
Donor: Dana and Noble Hansen

PETER MICHAEL #2
2004 La Carriere Chardonnay (magnum)
A powerful 95 point white in a very hard to find magnum form. This wine was purchased directly from the winery and
The exquisite 2004 Chardonnay La Carriere has gained in stature since I tasted it last year. Luckily, there are about 2,250
cases of this beauty in both 2004 and 2005. Again, crushed rocks, orange marmalade, lemon blossom, white peach, and
subtle wood aromas and flavors emerge from this full-bodied, fresh Chardonnay.
915
PETER MICHAEL #3
2004 Belle Cote Chardonnay (magnum)
A powerful 95 point white in a very hard to find magnum form. This wine was purchased directly from the winery and
The light straw/green-colored 2004 Chardonnay Belle Cote offers an exotic nose of tropical fruits, litchi, nuts, tangerines,
and brioche. Gorgeous acidity buttresses the wine’s full-bodied, concentrated mouthfeel and freshness. It could easily
pass for a grand cru from Chassagne-Montrachet.
916
1994 CHATEAU MONTELENA ESTATE CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Region: Calistoga
The saturated black/purple color is followed by aromas of gorgeiously pure blackberry and cassis scents. Toasty oak
notes are barely discernable given the wine's bombastic display of black fruits, huge, chewy, glycerin level, and senstional
finish.
Donor: Kathy and John Choi
47
917
2006 MIRROR CABERNET SAUVIGNON (MAGNUM)
Region: Napa Valley
Aromatically, this Cabernet Sauvignon is an attractive blend of black cherry, blackberry, rose petals and spice with a dark
chocolate nuance. The palate profile generates a full ripe and concentrated core of dark berries and dried cranberries.
Its balanced acidity delivers a seamless harmony of fruit and tannins that integrate a clean and long lasting finish.
Donor: O'Malley Family
918
1994 PHILIP TOGNI CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Region: Napa Valley
As is the practice at this winery, they hold back 50 or so cases of their finest vintages for release after a decade. The
current release of their library selection is this magnificent effort that is one of Togni's six or seven finest wines.
919

2003 BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO MADONNA DEL PIANO
Region: Tuscany, Italy
Super-ripe, opulent wine that resembles the 1997 in its generous, full-bodied personality. All things considred, this is a
superb effort. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013.
923
2004 CONTERNO FANTINO VIGRA DEL GRIS
Good full red. Wonderful floral precision to the aromas of wild red fruits, mocha and smoky oak. Sweet, pure and
primary, with terrific definition to the fruit-driven flavors of cherry and raspberry. Enticing floral, truffle and mineral
notes add complexity to this classy wine. Finishes with lush, fine-grained tannins and terrific building length.
Donor: Yvette and Bruce Van Dalsem

924
2007 QUINTESSA CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Region: Napa Valley
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Quintessa 2007 opens to rich, complex aromas of dark black currant fruit with undertones of raspberry, licorice, and
spice. On the palate, the wine delivers what the nose promises—power and refinement with a mélange of complex cassis,
blackberry, mocha and sandalwood spice flavors. A broad, rich middle palate and a long finish offer a delicate balance of
intensity and elegance, full fruit and supple tannins. This vintage will gain complexity in the bottle and age gracefully for
a decade or more.
Donor: Kristen and Hunter Doble
925
2004 CANALICCHIO DI SOPRA BRUNELLO RISERVA
Sweet, silky tannins, dark fruit layers, and a delicate finish.
Donor: Laurel and Andrew Beyer
926
2007 RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY PINOT NOIR
Region: Sonoma
True to its place of origin, this Pinot Noir is bold in its bright expression of Bing Cherry and cola flavors. The texture is
luscious and a touch of acidity adds grace and elegance. It has beautiful ruby red tones and great clarity; overall it is a
classic Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.
Donor: Emily and Brian Sullivan
927
2007 SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR
Region: Sonoma
Fresh focused fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry, and plum are followed by hints of violet, spice, mineral, and pepper.
This wine offers crisp acidity upon entry unfolding with juicy flavors of strawberry, raspberry, black fruits and leather.
The 2007 vintage offers intense fruit flavors on the mid palate. Tannins are supple creating a lingering finish with cola
and smokiness. Enjoy now or cellar up to four years.
Donor: Emily and Brian Sullivan
928
HAIL THE CAB
2005 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Sonoma - Alexander Valley
Dark berries, black cherry, and licorice on the nose… less exaggerated oak element despite the fact that this was aged in
95% new American barrels. Not particularly sweet, the mid-palate offers grip and lift with laid-back flavors of currant,
plum, and tobacco leaf. Finished with substantial, slightly dry tannins and good persistence.
2006 Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon
Donor: Yvette and Bruce Van Dalsem, Elizabeth and Philip Alford

929
WORLD WINES
2006 Louis Jardot Chassagne Montrachet La Romanee
Region: Burgundy
A distinctly more elegant nose that is exotic and floral in character along with the citrus, pear, peach, and white pepper
nuances that continue onto the attractively rich, generous, and stony flavors that are focused, precise, and delineated,
all wrapped in a sappy and satisfying long finish. A classy effort that possesses fine balance and depth.
2001 Aldo Ricardo Seghesio Barolo Vigneto la Villa
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Offers a compelling, deep nose of spices, tar, and roasted coffee beans. Much more austere today than tha accessible
2000, the delicious 2001 is dense and backward, offering dark fruit, tar, licorice, and toasted oak flavors with excellent
persistence and a lingering note of sweetness on the long finish. A terrific effort that will require patience. Anticipated
maturity: 2009-2021.
Donor: Greg and Julie Bardakjian, Monica and Ross Lacy
930
MONTICELLO VINEYARDS JEFFERSON CUVEE CABERNET SAUVIGNON (MAGNUM)
The dark fruits, woody aromas, and bittersweet chocolate flavors are sure to leave in impression!
Donor: Jody and Scott Adair
931
2004 CHATEAU MONTROSE CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Region: St. Estephe, Bordeaux, France
An impressive effort for the vintage the 2004 Montrose possesses a deep ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a sweet nose
of black fruits intermixed with notions of smoke, cold steel, earth, subtle background wood. With excellent texture, a
sweet ripeness, medium to full body, and moderate tannin, it should drink well for fifteen plus years.
932
FRENCH CONNECTION #2
• 2006 Les Aromes de Pavie

1990 ROBERT MONDAVI CABERNET SAUVIGNON RESERVE
Region: Napa Valley
This wine is just beginning to drink spectacularly well. The rustic, big, thick 1990 is Californian in its orientation.
Donor: Erica and Brian McLoughlin
934
Region: Napa Valley
This wine is just beginning to drink spectacularly well. The fabulous 1991 Reserve is the quintessential Napa Cabernet
that represents a synthesis in style between the elegance of a first-grown Bordeaux and the ripe, intense, generous fruit
of Napa Valley.
50
935
Region: Napa Valley
If you missed out on Robert Mondavi's 1991 Cabernet Suavignon Reserve, try to find a few bottles of the sumptuously rich,
decadent, showy 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve that is about to be released. It is a sweeter, riper, more unctuouslystyled Cabernet. While it may lack some of the classicism of the 1991 Reserve, it is a super-rich, full-bodied, flamboyant,
unctuously-textured wine that should drink well for 20+ years.
936
TURLEY WINE CELLARS
2005 Turley Wine Cellars Zinfandel Ueberroth
Region: Paso Robles
Emerges from a 19th century hillside vineyard planted in pure limestone. It offers a dense ruby/purple color, wonderful
freshness, and strong personality while displaying notes of black raspberries, cassis, pepper dried hers, and earth. A
stunner
2006 Turley Wine Cellars Zinfandel Atlas Peak
Region: Mead Ranch
Great fruit, full body, loads of cassis, and briery raspberry with notes intermixed with some pepper, solid undertones, and
underbrush. The wine has fabulous ripeness, full body, and finish.
Donor: Jocelyn and Greg Cortese
937
2008 SEA SMOKE "TEN" PINOT NOIR
Region: Santa Barbara
A brooding and intense wine. The aromas begin with notes of sweet black plums, dried black cherry and lavender, then
dusty cocoa and rose water. Firm, mature tannins—evidence of Ten’s ageability—are followed by a long, velvety finish.
Donor: Kristen and Hunter Doble
938
Donor Value: $90.00
2007 PETER MICHAEL CHARDONNAY MA BELL FILLE #1
Region: Sonoma
Another brilliant effort. Filled with notes of pineapples, honeyed melons, nectarines, and white currants, it reveals more
toasty oak than its siblings as well as a smoky, roasted nut character. This full-bodied, utterly profound Chardonnay
could easily pass for a Batard-Montrachet from France.
Donor: Helen and Scott Graves

2005 COUP DE FOUDRE STAGS LEAP 32.7 CUVEE
Region: Napa Valley
The 2005 Stag's Leap 37.2 Cuvee is a blend of 86% Merlot, and 14% Cabernet Franc. Coup de Foudre 37.2 Cuvee has an
exhilarating and extraordinarily exotic bouquet. The palate is concentrated with a festival of luscious red berries,
chocolate, and silky tannins. This velvety gem is a classic with astounding purity, symmetry, and charm.
Donor: Kim and Dominic Sandifer
941
Donor Value: $90.00
2000 CHATEAU RAUZAN-SEGLA
Region: Margaux, Bordeaux, France
A dominant proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) has added an extra dimension to this super wine. Boasting intense
aromas of cigar boxes, cassis fruit, and perfumed floral and vanilla scents, the tight but compact palate gives the wine a
very classic feel. This should take some time to develop but will clearly be well worth the wait, as it undoubtedly
matures into a Margaux of great majesty. Drinking from 2011-2025.
Donor: Terry and Jennifer McCarthy
942
Donor Value: $80.00
2006 CYCLONE
Region: Napa Valley
Estate grown and produced from the prestigious State Lane address in Yountville, Cyclone is a masterful blend of
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot that has recently been bottled, unfined and unfiltered, following a nearly
two year rest in fin French oak barrels. The striking blue image telegraphs the excitement inside the bottle a
multifaceted red wine sporting a silky mouth feel and broad range of flavors. The provenance of the grapes and the
winemaking team involved in the production of Cyclone are unsurpassed.
943
Donor Value: $70.00
2007 DOMAINE DE VILLENEUVE CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE GRENACHE
Region: Rhone, France
This dense ruby/purple-hued offering smells like the essence of raspberry jam intermixed with boysenberries and
blueberries. Exceptionally pure, with a layered mouthfeel and sweet tannin, this is undeniably the finest wine made by
Proprietor Stanislas Wallut since he purchased Domaine de Villeneuve in 1992.
944
