Nantucket Wine Festival 2012
Auction
Welcome…
… to the Sixteenth Annual Nantucket Wine Festival Auction. As members of the community of
Nantucket, we are pleased to support the Nantucket Historical Association, a group that reminds all
of us of our heritage and the uniqueness of Nantucket.
This year, we are honored by the participation of our friends Cyril Brun, Winemaker of Veuve
Clicquot Ponsardin, and Manuel Louzada, Director and Winemaker of Numanthia, and by the
presence of our Luminary of the Year, Laurent Drouhin of Maison Joseph Drouhin. We also
want to thank Executive Chef Bernard Guillas of the The Marine Room and Executive Chef
Frederick Bisaillon of the Brant Point Grill and his entire staff for preparing this truly amazing menu.
In our opinion, tonight’s dinner represents our finest evening of wine and food.
The 2012 Auction presents a wide array of auction items. As always, we feature great wine in largeformat bottles, many signed by winemakers and all marked by very high quality. For those not
obsessed with wine, consider our “lifestyle” lots, ranging from wine getaways to an insider’s dinner at
NHA’s Thomas Macy House at 99 Main Street – something for every taste. So enjoy your evening
and help us bring the Nantucket Wine Festival Auction to the next level.
Santé,
H. Denis Toner
President
P.S. While we urge moderation in the consumption of the Festival’s wine offerings, the sky is the
limit on auction bidding!

Dear Friends:
We are thrilled to partner once again with the Nantucket Wine Festival and Denis Toner to celebrate the 16th year of the festival.
The White Elephant is delighted to be the host hotel and an integral part of this exciting week.
As in the past, many of the festival events will take place at the White Elephant, such as Thursday’s Harbor Gala Dinner and Saturday’s
Celebrity Chef & Winemaker Dinner, which benefits the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA). Nantucket has such a rich and varied
history from its place as the whaling capitol of the world, to its lighthouses, ship builders, farming, and all the fascinating people and
businesses that have called Nantucket home. Thanks to the NHA, we can all keep this history alive.
On behalf of our team at Nantucket Island Resorts, I welcome you to the Nantucket Wine Festival. Our collection of premier hotels,
cottages, residences and a marina includes:
White Elephant, ranked #19 out of the 50 Top Family Hotels in the U.S. & Canada by Travel + Leisure.
The Wauwinet is ranked #1 Resort in Massachusetts by Travel + Leisure.
This season The Wauwinet and TOPPER’S will be celebrating their 25th year anniversary.
The Cottages & Lofts at the Boat Basin, voted Best Location in the U.S. with a perfect score of “100” by Condé Nast Traveler.
Jared Coffin House, winner of the Cape Cod Life Silver Award for Best Bed & Breakfast Inn.
Nantucket Boat Basin, voted Best Transient Marina in the U.S. for two consecutive years by Marinalife.
We are pleased to announce our newest addition to the collection, the Inn at the White Elephant Village, opening later this summer.
The Inn includes 14 suites and six deluxe guest rooms. The newly created White Elephant Village will comprise the Inn and the existing
White Elephant Residences.
I would like to express our appreciation to everyone who makes the Nantucket Wine Festival one of the most memorable
experiences on Nantucket.

The Nantucket Historical Association is pleased to partner with the Nantucket Wine Festival to present the 2012 Wine
Auction Dinner! The NHA is the non-profit beneficiary of the dinner, and the proceeds from this event provide significant
support for our educational programs for children and their families. We have been able to offer many new and exciting
programs to the Nantucket community, thanks to our association with the Nantucket Wine Festival!
The NHA holds deep gratitude for Denis and Susan Toner for continuing this successful partnership of over 15 years!
Many thanks to NHA Trustee Will Little for generously serving as Chairman of the Wine Auction Dinner. Will has worked
tirelessly with the committee and NHA staff to ensure that the dinner is an exciting and successful event, and we are grateful
for Will’s many contributions and leadership!
Special thanks also go to the many individuals and wineries that have so generously donated remarkable wines and lifestyle
packages to the auction.
We would also like to thank Khaled Hashem of Nantucket Island Resorts and Bettina Landt of the White Elephant for
providing the location for the Wine Auction Dinner. The dinner will be the marquee event of this year’s festival, featuring
the culinary expertise of Chef Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room of La Jolla, California, and Chef Frederick Bisaillon of
Brant Point Grill of Nantucket, and the critically acclaimed wines of Veuve Clicquot and Numanthtia. We are also excited that
Laurent Drouhin of Maison Joseph Drouhin, the 2012 recipient of the Nantucket Wine Festival Luminary of the Year Award,
will be with us this evening.
We hope that you and your families are able to visit some of the Nantucket Historical Association’s twenty-two historic
properties and sites, including the Whaling Museum. We are proud to feature Emmy award-winning filmmaker Ric Burns’
film Nantucket at the museum every day. Nantucket provides both a transformative gateway experience for island visitors and
a reminder for island residents of the unique character of their island home. The film showcases Nantucket’s natural beauty
and its significant role in global history, and an often heard comment from viewers is, “I had no idea!”
Thank you for joining us at this year’s Wine Auction Dinner. We look forward to sharing a wonderful meal and enjoying a
lively evening of bidding! Your generous support will allow us to enhance our educational programs and bring the joy of
discovery and an appreciation of island history to many more children and families on Nantucket.
Cheers!
With thanks,
Janet L. Sherlund

Cyril Brun
Manuel Louzada
Laurent Drouhin
Cyril Brun was born in the village
of Aÿ, located in the heart of the
Champagne region, in 1969.
In 2000, he joined Veuve Clicquot
Ponsardin as winemaker in the wine
communication team. He works in
the team of Dominique Demarville,
Veuve Clicquot Cellar Master, to
create the finest quality blends
for each of the Veuve Clicquot
Champagnes. He is also in charge
of vinifying the Bouzy Pinot Noir
used in Veuve Clicquot’s Rosé
Champagne. He was promoted
to Wine Communication Manager
at the beginning of 2006.
Manuel Louzada is Estate Director at
Bodega Numanthia in Spain. Today,
within Estates & Wines, Manuel
coordinates global transversal environmental policy. For the last three
years, he has been responsible for the
wine quality standards of different
wineries around the world (California, Australia, Brazil, and Argentina)
for Moët Hennessy Wines & Estates.
Manuel Louzada is Estate Director of
Bodega Numanthia.
He followed his father to the
vineyards at a tender age, rollerskated in the cellars and played in
the cuverie. His fondest memory
(à la Marcel Proust) is the smell
of the macerating must. Today,
Laurent is the Maison Joseph
Drouhin ambassador to the
United States and the Caribbean.
Bernard Guillas
Maître Cuisiniers de France and award-winning Chef Bernard Guillas joined
La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, Inc., as executive chef of The Marine Room in
June 1994. “When I lived in France, the smell of the sea and the lure of its bounty
were constantly part of our table,” Guillas recalls. Guillas, no stranger to classic
tradition, insists, “a good cook is a sorcerer who dispenses happiness on a plate.”
Frederick Bisaillon
Frederick Bisaillon is Executive Chef of the White Elephant’s Brant Point Grill.
This is his second stint on Nantucket; he also worked at the White Elephant
from 1995 to 1997. Chef Bisaillon highlights the flavors of New England through
seasonal and locally sourced produce and seafood. He utilizes French technique in
preparation with an undertone of Mediterranean and Caribbean influences.

when he was appointed Head of Sotheby’s North American
Wine Department.
Mr. Ritchie has sold many world record lots, including:

October 2010, a world record for a single standard sized
bottle at auction.

business with the company’s launch of wine auctions in Asia,
with sales in Hong Kong reaching US$98 million in 2011.

becoming the only major global auctioneer offering fine wines

donate his services to many benefit auctions, as well as leading tastings around the United States. He is also a respected
