Special Tribute
What’s NEW in 2014?
DAVE REYNOLDS
We have several new components taking place at this year’s event! We believe
each of these changes will help drive our mission to connect wine enthusiasts
to raise money for children in need.
In Loving Memory of Dave Reynolds
DCWAF Auctioneer 2009 - 2013
By now, most of you are aware that the auctioneer that led our auction to the
heights we now enjoy passed away December 7th, 2013.
Dave was so instrumental to our success that when faced with changing dates
or changing venues we choose to change our venue so we could keep Dave as
our auctioneer. He truly was one of a kind.
There were many things that made Dave special; his humor, his preparation,
his knowledge and his experience. Those of us who worked directly with
Dave also saw his willingness to teach, to mentor and to guide. Dave knew his
audience and was a master at connecting individually with each bidder. His
skill and professionalism was directly responsible for generating much of the
auction revenue that found its way to the children we support. On behalf of
the entire Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation family, Dave, you will be
truly missed!
DCWAF Celebrates the life of Dave Reynolds

End of Auction Raffle
Credit Card Processing
The first change is the addition of BidPal to the Silent and Almost Live portions
of our auction. BidPal allows bidders to make bids on these items from their
smart phone. Gone are sign-up sheets next to each item; no more going back
to see if anyone topped your bid, no more wondering whether or not you
won that coveted silent auction item. Best of all you can continue to bid on
Almost Live Auction Lots through 5:00 pm without having to leave your seat!
We will have plenty of experts throughout the Reserve Tasting to assist with
questions. We do advise you make sure your smart phone is fully charged. No
smart phone? No problem! We will have ipod touch bidding devices available
on site for use throughout the duration of the event.
The second change is a little bonus at the end of the Live Auction. We are
raffling off a very nice collection of Paul Hobbs wine, including a 6L of 2007
Cabernet. Every person who purchased a patron package is available to win.
We will draw one name and that person must be present to win. If the person
selected has left the auction, we will draw again until we have a winner
present. You may purchase additional raffle tickets for a suggested donation
of $100 on our website or during the Reserve Tasting & Silent Auction. Stay
until the end of the auction for your chance to win this beautiful selection of
Paul Hobbs wine. See Silent Auction Lot 200 (pg. 178) for further details.
Our third change is all about the kids. Last year, DCWAF spent over $32,000
in credit card fees as a result of purchases processed by our office. In order to
send even more money to the children, we are now charging a fee of 2% on all
transactions. If you wish to pay by check, you will receive a 2% discount off
your purchase price.
On behalf of the Auction Lot Procurement Committee and the DCWAF Board
of Directors and Staff we hope you find this year’s auction lots as exciting as
we do. Bid High and Often and support the children of Northwest Florida!

G AV E LG A L
I would like to extend a very warm welcome
to all of my fellow vintners, chefs, and
especially the patrons to this year’s Destin
Charity Wine Auction. I am honored and
humbled to be the 2014 Honorary Chair, and
I hope this year will be the most successful
auction ever. It is a great inspiration to
witness the collective efforts of so many people coming together to help
improve the lives of children in need.
At Paul Hobbs Winery we are passionate about producing the very best
wines we can each and every year, and our commitment to giving back to
the community goes hand-in-hand with that passion. I would like to cordially
encourage each of you to bid high and bid often with the knowledge that your
generosity will make a difference in a child’s life.
See you in Destin!
Cheers!
Ursula’s auction career started long ago at
Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers where her
first area of specialty and expertise was in
the Toy Soldier Department. Ursula came
to wine via her skills as an auctioneer in
the early 1990’s when Christie’s held wine
auctions in Los Angeles and Chicago. She
was the first woman ever to be invited to
wield the gavel at the famous Napa Valley
Wine Auction, and since then has presided
over most of the country’s top benefit wine auctions.
Ursula has been a featured speaker at various conferences such as the Aspen
Food and Wine Festival, the International Pinot Noir Celebration, the American
Institute of Wine and Food and has been a guest on general news shows
including CNN’s Marketplace. In 2005, Vanity Fair Magazine included Ursula
as one of the “definitions” in the inaugural “Wine Snob’s Dictionary”. She
works with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse at his foundation’s annual fundraiser
in New Orleans.
In 1995 Ursula organized Christie’s first wine auctions in New York City. Under
her direction, the newly formed wine department opened with record-setting
numbers. Today Ursula continues her fine and rare wine auction association
with Wally’s Wine Auctions in a role of Principal Auctioneer.
From 2006 – 2010, Ursula stepped away from the auction podium to oversee
the ownership transition of Napa Valley’s iconic property Screaming Eagle.

Additionally, Ursula is the author of The Wine Lovers Guide to Auctions, the
definitive manual on buying and selling wine at auction.

through today in all of his endeavors.
Whether in California or Argentina,
where he is the owner/winemaker at
Paul Hobbs Winery and Viña Cobos
respectively, Paul knows that the
essence of profound wines can be
traced back to care and expertise in
the vineyard. Raised on a working farm
in upstate New York, Paul experienced
first-hand the influence of terroir on
the character of grapes and apples
grown on their various ranches.
He also learned a deep respect for
family, a love of land and the joys of
collaborative effort; values that carry
As a winemaker, Paul is highly regarded for his pioneering spirit working with
new and historical sites and regions. His success has inspired a wealth of
nicknames among the press, from quiet trendsetter to prospector to the Steve
Jobs of winemaking. Hired by Robert Mondavi for his advanced study of oak
aging, he went on to become the winemaker for Opus One and Simi wineries,
and then a consultant to Peter Michael, Fisher, Lewis, Catena and others. He
founded Paul Hobbs Winery in 1991; and Viña Cobos in 1999. Twice named
Wine Personality of the Year by Robert Parker, Jr., he continues to be a leading
consultant winemaker around the globe.
”I am honored to be a part of this year’s festivities in support of the DCWAF
charities who help transform the lives of so many children in need.”

BETZ FAMILY

CASTELLO BANFI
C R I S T I N A M A R I A N I - M AY
STEVE GRIESSEL
Since our first vintage in 1997 we’ve
had a single minded goal of crafting
compelling wines with individual
character that are approachable and
age worthy, and which showcase
Washington as a distinguished wine
region of the world. By carving out
specific vineyard blocks and being
meticulous in the vineyard and cellar we
are able to achieve the quality we aspire
to. As importantly over the years our
winery culture has become a way of life
in which everyone – our growers, winery
team and customers are all family.
Today, Betz Family Winery is headed by our two families, both committed to
be true to our heritage, our family members, and true to what Betz Family
Winery embodies: wines of dimension and pleasure, wines that allow the
character of Washington to shine through. They are a blend of the best
elements of the new and the old worlds; full ripe fruit and yet structured for
longevity.
We are happy to be a limited production winery and grow patiently as quality
allows. Each barrel of wine is like a child to us and we agonize over every little
step and evaluate its impact on taking quality to the next level.
Cristina
Mariani-May,
together
with her cousin James Mariani,
represents the third generation of
family stewardship at Banfi Vintners.
A graduate of Georgetown University
with her masters from Columbia
University’s School of Business, she
entered into the company at a young
age in the early 1990s. For several
years she has taken a first-hand role
in coordinating Banfi’s activity in
Italy and the US, contributing to the
development of the brand.
“The Pursuit of Excellence” for Cristina Mariani represents a true personal
mantra and extends to all of her activities. And her many activities have
included the initiatives introduced by her, most significant and meaningful
being the creation of a system of traceability and monitoring that has resulted
in Banfi’s being the first winery in the world to be awarded international
recognition for exceptional environmental, ethical and social responsibility
as well as an international leader in customer satisfaction. This recognition
underlines her long term strategic vision.
Over the years we have been fortunate to build a large following from our
loyal members and the trade. For the last few years our member list has been
closed and we have a wait list. We release our wines twice a year and only
open our winery twice a year for our member release weekends.
We have been privileged to receive global acclaim and many wines have been
in the Top 100 in the world. Our Cabernet has received between 95 and 97
points from Robert Parker for the last 7 years. Bob Betz our founder and
winemaker has been named Winemaker of the Year by two publications in
the past and is the only Master of Wine making wine in the United States. Our
2009 Père de Famille, Cabernet was awarded Washington’s Red Wine of the
Year by Seattle Magazine with 3 others winning their categories.

DELILLE CELLARS
DOMAINE SERENE
GREG LILL
K E N & G R A C E E V E N S TA D
Greg can trace his roots back to 12th
century Europe hailing from a family
originating from the walled town of
Lille, France hence their ancestral
name “DeLille” from which the
winery is named. Celebrating its 20th
Anniversary in 2012, DeLille Cellars has
been on the forefront of blazing the
wine-trail in Washington. Being the
third winery started in Woodinville, WA
it is composed of three labels, DeLille
Cellars –Bordeaux style wines, Doyenne
–Rhone style, and Grand Ceil – terroir
focused wines from the winery’s Red
Mountain AVA vineyard. Robert Parker Jr. of the “Wine Advocate” rated DeLille
Cellars and Doyenne as two of the top twelve producers, bestowing the title of
the “Lafite Rothschild of Washington State”.
When Ken and Grace Evenstad bought
land in the Dundee Hills of Oregon in
1989, it was generally believed that
only Burgundy, France could produce
exceptional Pinot Noir. California had
pretty much given up on the “heartbreak
grape”. In Oregon they found a tiny
community of dedicated wine producers,
who sold all of their wine locally. The
Evenstad’s mission was to produce
consistently exquisite Pinot Noir, and
they believed if the wine was world class
quality it would sell anywhere. Beginning
with their first vintage in 1990, they sold
almost all of their wine in major markets outside of Oregon, establishing for the first
time a national and international market for ultra-premium American Pinot Noir.
DeLille has been rated 92 points or higher for over 20 twenty consecutive years.
The Institute of the Masters of Wine in London, England honored DeLille Cellars
with the “Certificate of Excellence” award, the only winery from the northwest
to receive this honor. For almost two decades DeLille Cellars Chaleur Estate
Rouge was awarded scores of 91-96 points and a platinum medal from Wine
Enthusiast. DeLille Cellars is the only winery in the world to be listed in the top
100 wines of the world, two years in a row, by the Wine Enthusiast and Wine
Spectator Magazine. In 2008, DeLille Cellars set the record for the highest price
paid for a lot of Washington State wine at auction ($70,000).
Greg and Stacy are known as community leaders and currently serve on many
boards together and individually including: the Boards of the Washington
Wine Industry Foundation, Seattle Convention and Visitors Bureau, Cystic
Fibrosis Leadership Council and “PONCHO” Patrons of Northwest Civic Cultural
Charitable Organizations, and the Auction of Washington Wines Chairman’s
Committee. Greg has twice been Chair of the Auction of Washington Wines and
Washington Wine Ambassador for Oregon’s Classic Wine Auction. Other past
Chairmanships include PONCHO Wine Auction, Cystic Fibrosis Breath of Life
Gala, Camp Goodtimes Auction for Cancer, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Gala and Washington Wines Festival to name a few.
18
Over the years the Evenstad’s have increased their original 42 acre property to
over 700 acres, more than 220 of which are planted to Pinot Noir and Dijon-clone
Chardonnay. Their vineyards have been sustainably managed and dry farmed since
the very beginning. Their passion for quality in the vineyards and in the bottle is
unwavering. A diversity of factors, such as elevation, slope facings, soil types, root
stocks and clones, all kept separated during picking, fermenting and barreling,
results in over 200 different Pinot Noirs in barrel each vintage. These labor intensive
techniques provide marvelous blending opportunities for layers of complexity
in their flagship “Evenstad Reserve”, as well as their single vineyard and “Yamhill
Cuvée” labels.
Seeing a need for a beautiful, spacious place for Oregon wine industry events, and
to confirm their commitment to Oregon as THE place to grow Pinot Noir, in 2001 the
Evenstad’s invested in construction of a 5 level state of the art gravity flow winery
and visitor center in the Dundee Hills. In an ancient industry where there is very
little innovation, in 2004 Domaine Serene released, to the delight of sommeliers
and consumers, an estate grown, barrel fermented White Pinot Noir; Coeur Blanc.
The recognized leader in the Oregon wine industry, wine writers have called
Domaine Serene the “benchmark for domestic Pinot Noir”, the “Best Oregon Pinot
Noir”, and the “Chateau Laffite of Oregon.” In 2013 the Wine Spectator named
Evenstad Reserve the #3 wine in the world on its top 100 list. The Evenstad’s are
committed to their iconic wines and have long term sustainability at the forefront
of their future plans.

JUELLE & CAMERON FISHER
M I C H A E L F AY
As a Pinot Noir specialist, and the
winemaker for Goldeneye, Michael Fay
is building on the valley’s reputation
as one of the world’s preeminent
locations for growing Pinot Noir. At
the same time, his belief in a vineyardinspired, small-lot approach to
winemaking is cementing Goldeneye’s
status as one of North America’s great
Pinot Noir wineries.
Michael was born in Vicenza, Italy,
near the winegrowing region of Friuli,
and was raised in Southern California.
While working in the restaurant industry and studying forestry management
at the University of Washington in Seattle, Michael discovered a passion
for West Coast Pinot Noir. In 2000, Michael transferred to Cal Poly to study
enology and viticulture. He also took a job in the vineyards at Cambria Estate
in Santa Maria.
Moving to winemaking, Michael joined the cellar team at Firestone. His talents
quickly became apparent and he was soon promoted to cellar master. Eager to
focus more on Pinot Noir, in 2002 Michael returned to Cambria as enologist,
where he honed his skills under noted winemaker Denise Shurtleff. In 2007,
Michael became assistant winemaker. In this position, he helped to grow
the winery’s Pinot program, with a focus on small-lot, clone and site-specific
bottlings. He also actively helped to guide the Pinot Noir estate program, with
an emphasis on vineyard planting and clonal selection. In addition to his role
at Cambria, in 2007 Michael also became the winemaker for Santa Maria’s Los
Alisos Wines, where he oversaw all aspects of the winery’s estate program.
Juelle Lamb Fisher grew up in Salt Lake
City, graduated from the University of
Utah and moved to California where
she spent the next ten years in the
investment business as an analyst and
economist. In 1983 Juelle, with two
friends, founded Sonoma Country
Day School, a highly acclaimed K-8
independent school in Sonoma
County. She continued on the Board
of Trustees for 25 years and in 2008
chaired the Search Committee that
hired the second head of School.
Today you will find Juelle at Fisher Vineyards in the gardens, the kitchen
and the vineyards, where she adds the overall quiet subtleties that one
immediately notices when visiting the mountain estate. You will also see her
traveling across country, as our ambassador at large.
Cameron Fisher is the youngest and final member of the family to join Fisher
Vineyards. After graduating from Colby College with a BA in English, Cameron
moved to San Francisco where she worked for Outside Magazine. It wasn’t
long, however, before the wine industry called her name.
In the spring of 2006, she moved north to St. Helena where she began working
for Duckhorn Wine Company. One year later, Cameron joined the team
at Fisher Vineyards where she works in sales and marketing. Cameron has
been pursuing her wine studies through the Court of Master Sommeliers and
recently passed the Certified Sommelier exam!
In 2012, Michael became the handpicked successor to renowned Goldeneye
winemaker Zach Rasmuson. Working with the valley’s most diverse and
expansive estate Pinot Noir program, Michael makes terroir-inspired
expressions of Pinot Noir that balance depth and power with Pinot’s natural
elegance. He is also continuing the measured fine tuning of the Goldeneye
style begun by Zach, picking at lower Brix and dialing back the amount of new
wood used during aging. “As a winemaker,” says Michael, “my goal isn’t to
speak for the wines, it is to allow the wines to speak for themselves, so that
their essential Anderson Valley-ness shines through.”

RIC FORMAN
HAMILTON RUSSELL
VINEYARDS
A N T H O N Y H A M I LT O N R U S S E L L
Ric Forman founded Forman Vineyard
in 1983 to fulfill a dream of producing,
as a sole proprietor, small quantities
of classically made Chardonnay and
Cabernet Sauvignon.
After a three year search of the
Napa Valley for the perfect location,
he purchased, in 1978, the current
winery/vineyard site which is perched
on a ridge at the base of Howell
Mountain overlooking the town of
St. Helena. A remarkable site, it has
produced some unusually elegant
wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
A philosophy of winemaking which follows a traditional as opposed to
technological approach appealed to Ric early in his career. Ric’s familiarity
with European tradition has seriously influenced his style, hence the fashion
which he designed and built the winery.
Grapes are gently handled from harvest through fermentation. Small stainless
steel fermenters for red wines and new Burgundy barrels for white allow for
close attention to detail during the winemaking process.
Hamilton Russell Vineyards - the most
southerly wine estate in Africa and
the closest to the sea - is located in
the cool, maritime Walker Bay wine
appellation, in a beautiful valley behind
the old fishing village of Hermanus.
The estate specializes in producing
highly individual, terroir driven Pinot
Noir and Chardonnay, which are widely
regarded as the best in South Africa
and among the best in the New World.
Founder, Tim Hamilton Russell
purchased the undeveloped 170
hectare property in 1975, after an exhaustive search for the most southerly
site on which to make South Africa’s top cool climate wines from a selection
of noble varieties. His son Anthony, who took over in 1991, narrowed the
range to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay only and registered Hamilton Russell
Vineyards as an Estate, committing to work only with grapes from their
terroir. Extensive soil research initiated in 1994 identified 52 hectares of stony,
clay-rich, shale-derived soil as optimal for the individual, origin expressive
style they aim for and all plantings have now been limited to this soil type.
Deep caves have been constructed which maintain a cool, dark and humid
environment in which to age red wine in new French oak barrels. The integration
of the small stone cellar settled in the hillside surrounded by a courtyard and
in touch with the deep caves below sets a mood of a tiny European estate.
Thus, with a wonderfully situated vineyard and deliberately planned cellar, he
is fulfilling his dream and making sure that each step is without compromise in
the pursuit of producing the finest quality wine from his estate.

JARVIS ESTATE

JEFF SMITH
TED HENRY
Jeff Smith had the unique experience
of growing up around the dinner tables
of many prominent wine families who
transformed Napa Valley into a world
class wine growing region. With this
unique vantage point, he noticed a
paradigm shift in the early ‘90s toward
small terroir driven estate wines…
wines truly defined by their place. He
took a small four acre family vineyard
in St. Helena, replanted it to Cabernet,
enlisted the help of winemaker friend
Bob Foley, and launched Hourglass.
From the inaugural 1997 release, the Hourglass estate bottling has evolved
into one of Napa’s most esteemed Cabernets. In 2006, with the help of two
partners, Mr. Smith procured the Blueline estate in the Calistoga appellation
with the goal of finding a new vineyard site that could dovetail with the
Hourglass estate.
Since 2006 Mr. Smith has gone about building a winery at Blueline to house
the Hourglass production and crafted a series of vineyard designated wines
(Cabernet, Cab Franc, and Merlot) under the Hourglass label that are a
reflection of their unique vineyard sites.
A quick career path following
graduation from the world-renown
winemaking program at UC Davis
led Winemaker Ted Henry to
JARVIS where his job is hands-on,
participatory and really about a close
relationship with the wine.
A fourth generation resident of
California's San Francisco Bay Area,
Ted was raised near San Ramon on a
large cattle ranch that has been in his
family since the 1940s. Immersed in
agriculture since birth, he worked the
ranch feeding horses, maintaining the property and even learning to drive a
truck when he was just twelve.
He started UC Davis as a pre-med major, not even realizing that a "degree in
making wine" was possible. Completely fascinated with his viticulture and
enology class, which he received an A+, Ted changed his major to Fermentation
Science, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1999.
Upon graduation Ted landed a harvest job with Trinchero where he soon
became Associate Winemaker while the brand grew from 3,000 to 30,000
cases. That regionally-focused experience led to a position with Artesa
Winery in Napa's Carneros appellation. With diverse experience with large
wine companies under his belt, Ted joined JARVIS in 2008.
“At JARVIS I get to work closely with William Jarvis and our long-time consultant,
Dimitri Tchelistcheff,” said Ted. “I am immersed in the whole experience from
the vineyard to the cellar to meeting our customers.

small wine and cheese shop in Carmel
for several years, be began to dabble
in wine making. That experimenting
would forever change his life.
The first release of Krutz Family Cellars
took place in 2003 with a mere 60
cases. From there, not only has every
vintage year increased in production
and sold out, the wines have received classic scores from Wine Enthusiast.
Today the wines are made at a state of the art winery and tasting room in
Santa Rosa. Although they produce many more than 60 cases these days, they
are still an artisan micro-winery with total production just under 3000 cases.
They truly are a family operation as Patrick’s brother Cole assists in wine
making and other brother Bryan handles sales. The Krutz family owns a home
in Rosemary Beach and brother Bryan lives locally in Watercolor.

In 2002 Robert and Susan McNerney
planted one acre of their small family
estate with a French root stock of
Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in the
Coombsville region of Napa, the
newest AVA in the Napa Valley. Their
aspiration was to make a premium
wine to share with friends and family
across the country and to share a
small piece of their dream in the hand
crafted wine they produced.
Stacy Lill is Founder & Brand
Ambassador of O Wines and also owns
her own consulting business, Cashmere
Consulting, focusing on Wine Industry
Education & Development.
In 2008, they released their first
vintage,
“2006
Le
Chanceux”
(pronounced Luh Shuhn sue), French for “the lucky one”. It was a reminder to
their three daughters how lucky they were to be blessed to live in the beautiful
Napa Valley, a world destination where world class wines are produced.
Stacy’s career includes 25 years of
Sales & Marketing experience for
numerous Fortune 500 companies
including Ernst & Young. Stacy has
received many honors including the
Cystic Fibrosis Breath of Life Award,
Women’s University Club Business
Woman of the Year, Soroptimist Award
for Outstanding Community Service, and Seattle Magazine’s Community
Service Award. Most recently she received the 2013 PSBJ Woman of Influence
Award.
This first release brought them a Double Gold Medal from the 2010 Finger
Lakes International competition. Double Gold Awards were given to only 42
out of 1500 wines entered worldwide.
She serves on the boards of Cystic Fibrosis Leadership Council, Washington
State University Campaign for Wine, and the Board of Governors for Seattle’s
World Trade Center.
The dream came to an abrupt halt when Robert was diagnosed with cancer
in early 2010 and passed away after a six month battle. The dream changed
with the loss of Robert, however the passion and willingness to share what
the family has been blessed with has not. Finding strength and courage to
continue, Susan is committed to attending fundraisers benefiting children
while donating the use of the family’s guest suite in various auction lots. While
pouring her small lot (200 case production) award winning wines, she loves
sharing the story of how she became an accidental vintner.
Stacy is involved with numerous charitable organizations including the Auction
of Washington Wines Chairman’s Committee, and along with husband Greg Lill,
President/CEO of DeLille Cellars was the 2012 Washington Wine Ambassador
for Oregon’s Classic Wine Auction. Stacy is a known Community Leader and
Wine Industry Educator. As a graduate of University of Washington, ensuring
young women have an opportunity to a quality education is a pillar in Stacy’s

Sara Fowler joined PEJU as the
Winemaker in the summer of 2006,
bringing a wealth of knowledge and
creativity into the cellar. Sara’s passion
for Bordeaux varietals and knack for
innovative blending make her the
perfect fit to lead PEJU’s winemaking
team.
Sara cut her teeth in the wine industry
as a seasonal member of the KendallJackson Winery staff during high
school and college. Sara began to help
her family plant wine grapes on their
organic ranch. She took a very active role in their new venture and chose the
varietals and rootstock, installed the drip tubing and eventually pruned the
vineyard. At the same time, she also served as an Enologist Assistant during
crush at Kendall Jackson. From these efforts, Sara decided her new focus
would be in the wine industry as a winemaker.
While attending Fresno State, she doubled as a student and research assistant
for the Viticulture Enology Research Center (VERC). Upon completion of the
program, she worked as the Associate Winemaker at Franciscan and Mt.
Veeder Winery under Larry Levin, where she honed and perfected the craft.
As the keystone of PEJU’s wine team, Sara’s commitment to excellence in the
vineyard and in the cellar is extraordinary. In September 2007, Sara headed
PEJU’s efforts to gain organic certification in the Rutherford Vineyard and she
is overseeing the winery’s sustainable farming efforts in the Persephone and
Wappo Vineyards with organic certification goals in the near future.
“The PEJU vineyards are excellent properties,” Sara explained. “The diversity
is extremely exciting. I’m enjoying having a hand in maintaining and enhancing
the quality reputation of the PEJU wines.”
Over the past decade, Sara has traveled the world representing the Napa
Valley as a speaker, guest panelist, trainer and wine educator. Sara currently
lives in St. Helena with her husband and three sons. Her interests include
travel, gourmet cooking, and wine education.

Growing up in rural Georgia, Suzanne
Phifer Pavitt couldn’t have imagined
that she’d grow up to be a vintner in
the Napa Valley, in business with her
husband Shane and two young sons,
in a storybook setting on the side of
a mountain. She and her husband,
from the beginning of their married
life, created a custom of setting aside
one night a week for ‘date nights,’ a
romantic escape from their whirling
dervish careers and hectic lives. On
one date night they realized that they
wanted to re-think their urban lives
and head for the countryside, where they could enjoy a simpler life including
a vineyard and a winery. They began by acquiring a property in Calistoga, in
the northern Napa Valley.
The idea for the winery building came from their commitment to sustainability:
they purchased an abandoned barn and moved it---board-and-batten siding
and all-to their property, then spent several years restoring and retrofitting
it, from creating chandeliers with barbed wire from the property, to using
Wyoming snow fencing on the walls, insulating with recycled blue jeans and
using hay bales as seating. The Pavitts produce a Cabernet Sauvignon and
Sauvignon Blanc in very limited quantities.
Suzanne enjoys traveling and sharing her wines, often in her native South.
Who knew she’d be honored with the prestigious title of Honorary Kentucky
Colonel, or that she and Shane would walk the red carpet at the premiere of
the movie Date Night?
Reviewing their first release, the 2005 DATE NIGHT Cabernet Sauvignon, a
wine writer in the South wrote which the Pavitts treasure still today: “Almost
the most notable aspect of this wine is its complete sense of confidence
and presence, its liveliness and vitality, its supple expressiveness, its dark
and statuesque charisma; there’s something of the ultimate reaches of the
cabernet sauvignon grape about it, it’s that pure and intense. This is the best
debut wine I’ve tasted from Napa in the 21st Century.”

Dr. Madaiah Revana balances a
successful practice as a cardiologist in
Houston, Texas with his commitment
to Revana Family Vineyard. His desire
to take on an additional career making
Cabernet Sauvignon is rooted in
his love for both wine and the rich
tradition and culture of winemaking.
First introduced to fine wine by
friends, he quickly became fascinated
with Bordeaux’s first growths. That
fascination led to the Cabernet
Sauvignon-based wines of Napa
Valley.
Dr. Revana dedicated himself to learning all he could about his new interest.
He traveled the wine regions of Europe and the United States, learning along
the way, and he became determined to create a vineyard estate from which
he could craft his own world-class wines. Revana Family Vineyard was born of
that determination.

Chris and Pauline Tilley founded V
Madrone Cellars in St. Helena, California
at the site of a pre-prohibition winery
(also known as a “ghost” winery)
whose foundation was originally laid
in 1887 and then shuttered before the
onset of Prohibition in 1920. In 2008,
the Tilley’s opened their first tasting
room at the winery in the Barrel
Room for private tastings and in 2013
the Tilley’s completed their 12 year
restoration of the winery and opened
the Main Winery House for tastings as
well.
In 2001, Chris and Pauline planted a 3.5 acre estate Cabernet vineyard
adjoining the winery and released their very first vintage, V Madrone Estate
Cabernet Sauvignon in 2004. The vineyard is situated on a slope just west of
Highway 29 in the St. Helena appellation approximately two miles north of the
Town of St. Helena and along a narrow bench of land that is ideal for premium
cabernet sauvignon. V Madrone produces 1,500 cases of wine per year, half
of which is Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, and also produce 300 cases/year each
of Old Vine Zinfandel, Carneros Chardonnay and Old Vine Petite Sirah, all of
which are sourced from older legacy single site vineyards in the Napa Valley.
Chris, born and raised in Napa Valley, had always dreamed of being a “farmer.”
He spent 28 years in the property casualty insurance business in New York,
where he met his wife, Pauline. An attorney who had spent 25 years on Wall
Street and other financial guaranty insurance firms practicing public finance
law, Pauline, native to Dublin, Ireland left the east coast with Chris and headed
to Napa in 2008. Before they knew it, they were full time “vintners” and
haven’t looked back!

The couple recently opened Ortanique on the Crescent at Camana Bay, on
Grand Cayman Island November 23, 2010. The restaurant’s menu reflects
the same global inspirations that created the menu of Ortanique on the Mile.

by establishing relationships with local farmers and purveyors. Paying tribute
to both his Texas and South-East Asian routes, Chef Matt’s taste for the
adventurous and inspired is seen and tasted in his food. He takes plating like a
contemporary artist, free-flowing ingredients on the plate like a blank canvas.
This young Chef’s talent will only continue to grow in Washington as his fervor
for inspired flavor and dining experience develops.

ROSEMARY BE ACH, FL
Shortly after taking his first restaurant
job in his late teens, Matthew Basford
knew that he was headed for a career
in the restaurant business. Growing
up in Australia, Basford was exposed
to cooking techniques that drew
influence from Pan-Asian cuisine.
He started his culinary journey at Pear
Tree Cottage in Greenock, followed
by Vintner’s Bar and Grill in Angaston.
He was awarded Second Place in
Tasting Australia in two consecutive
competitions and placed in the Nestle
Junior Chefs of Australia Competition, a yearly event that honors the top
apprentices in the country. After completing his four year apprenticeship,
Basford was officially a “Qualified Chef”, and travelled to the United States.
In December 2002, Basford moved to New Orleans, LA and began working
at Dominique’s, at the Maison Dupuy Hotel in the French Quarter. When
Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, Basford was relocated to Atlanta,
GA. Within a week, Basford found himself in the Canoe kitchen. He started as
line cook, and worked his way up the ranks from sous chef to executive sous
chef, to chef de cuisine, and finally in 2013, Basford was named executive chef
of Canoe.
He continues the legacy of the city’s longstanding bastion of fine dining. His
commitment to serving fresh, seasonal ingredients marries well with the rich
tradition of Canoe.

Industry Training and Apprenticeship
Commission at Vancouver Community
College. After serving in a number of
positions from line cook to sous chef,
he has worked as an executive chef
since 2004.
His resume includes positions in hotels,
resorts, cruise ships and private clubs in
Canada, Switzerland and the US. He has
also served as culinary host to world
leaders, heads of state, international
delegations and Fortune 500 corporate executives. He functioned as host
chef to the Relais & Chateau World Congress which included cooking a classic
President-Lincoln-Era Dinner for the Relais & Chateau Board of Directors. The
guest list at that event included twelve Michelin starred Chefs.
While working in Washington, DC, Neall played an active role in the opening of
Cafe du Parc in the Willard Hotel under the guidance of three-star Michelin Chef
Antoine Westermann. Neall organized the Willard’s inauguration festivities in
2009. The three-day event included hosting parties for a number of successful
Congressional candidates, serving more than 21,000 guests. He also represented
the United States at the MLA Black Box Competition held in Dubai, UAE.
Hosting several Chaine de Rotisseur Wine Dinners helped him develop

concept into his menus.

From the time she was a child, Chef
Nyesha Arrington has loved to cook.
Arrington was born in southern California
to a multi-cultural family. When she was
just four years old, her Korean grandmother
influenced Nyesha’s youthful palate by
introducing her to diverse foods. That
culinary experience has shaped Arrington’s
cooking technique, inspiring her to integrate
flavors from around the world and creating
her individual and personal style.
A graduate of the Culinary School at the
Art Institute of Los Angeles in 2001, Nyesha
has worked at Lemon Moon in Culver City, Mélisse in Santa Monica, the Michelin and
Mobil award-winning Las Vegas restaurants, L’Atelier, The Mansion, and most recently
as Executive Chef at Wilshire restaurant in Santa Monica. Arrington, an ardent believer
in using fresh, seasonal products, considers several important factors in creating her
menu, including the weather, what’s in season, and the availability of locally-grown food.
Nyesha comes from an artistic family and her creative upbringing is reflected in her
approach to cooking, which she considers an art. “Every plate is like a canvas,” says
Nyesha. “Chefs must be able to do everything, from thinking about their prep, to
assessing the menu and knowing their audience. I love the process.”
During Nyesha’s tenure as Executive Chef at Wilshire restaurant in Santa Monica
from 2010-2012, she was named a Rising Star by Brad Johnson then the restaurant
critic of Angeleno. She has been featured in Restaurant Hospitality, on StarChefs.com
and was a guest chef at Test Kitchen restaurant in 2011.
Nyesha has also appeared on two reality cooking shows as a contestant: Bravo’s Top
Chef: Texas, and Food Network’s: Chef Hunter, where she won the competition for
the next executive chef at Wilshire. In 2012, Nyesha was recognized by Zagat.com
as one of the 30 Under 30, and profiled in the LA Weekly’s People issue as one of the
most 69 interesting people to watch in 2012.
She is an enthusiastic supporter of the Santa Monica Farmers’ Market and sustainable
farming. Nyesha delights in spending time outdoors with her dog, Samson. She is an
avid surfer and snowboarder, enjoys camping and continues to love art. However, her
greatest passion will always be cooking.

CLASSIC CALIFORNIA CULTS
The world of wine has always presented to the true oenophile wines so unique
they are in a category all of their own. Two centuries ago the Bordeaux Wine
Official Classification of 1855 resulted from the 1855 Exposition Universelle
de Paris, when Emperor Napoleon III requested a classification system for
France’s best Bordeaux wines which were to be on display for visitors from
around the world. In the new world, we take a simpler approach; we classify
wines of extraordinary value as “Cult Wines”; wines that are so desirable that
they are in a class all of their own.

Beginning with primitive, “folk art” style works, Justin soon moved to a
much more textured, classically impressionistic style of work. He credits a
viewing of Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” as the epiphany that sent him searching
for a medium, and a technique that would allow him to achieve the deeply
textured, multidimensional work he crafts today.
JUSTIN GAFFREY LIVE
This lot benefits: Food for Thought
Witness the magic happen before your eyes. Justin Gaffrey will create a one
of kind piece LIVE at Saturday’s Reserve Tasting & Walkabout. Immediately
following, this original work of art will be auctioned off, on stage, at our Live
Auction. Stop over and join the fun, who knows you might be some inspiration!
About the Artist:
It was as a renowned chef and restaurant owner that Justin first expressed
his creative drive. The love he felt for the act of creating was what ultimately
drove him from the daily grind of the restaurant business, to the purely
creative life of the visual artist.
Working now exclusively with pure acrylic paints (no fillers are used) and
using mostly the palette knife, he produces works of breathtaking beauty and
complexity. His technique might best be described as “sculpting with paint.”
Most works utilize colors that are extraordinarily vibrant, but he also produces
wonderful soft palettes of muted tones, sometimes working entirely in white.
While the subject matter is varied, his works are all reflections of the beauty he
finds in the natural world that surrounds him daily along Highway 30-A. His work
is now widely collected and graces venues throughout the United States. Justin
creates only original works and sells them exclusively through his Galleries in

compatible inflatable and the first inflatable to come in its own waterproof

beautiful and deliciously distinct, the winery decided it should be bottled

aged. Today, the wine is a blend of the most distinctive fruit from the S.L.V and

band the Rolling Stones is exactly what you need! They’ve been called the
Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World, and for good reason: Nobody has
done it better, and for as long, as the Rolling Stones. They started out as a
British blues band that copied their American R&B idols but quickly evolved
into one of the 60s’ most important groups. By the end of the decade they
were in the middle of a hot streak that included many of the best albums
ever made. Even after their 1972 double-album masterpiece ‘Exile on Main
St.’ almost ripped them apart, they rebounded with two more classics, 1978’s
‘Some Girls’ and 1981’s ‘Tattoo You.’ In 2013 they embarked on a 50thanniversary tour, showing they still rank among the greats. They have given
us youth, inspiration, and passion; it’s time to remember the good ole’ days!
