I’d like to thank you for the wine donations you have made in the past to l’Eté du Vin and make you aware of the details of the upcoming auction. The 33rd Annual l’Eté du Vin will be held on Saturday July 21, 2012. Our Guests of Honor for this year’s Auction are Jean-Charles Cazes of Chateau Lynch Bages, Bordeaux, France and Dennis Cakebread of Cakebread Cellars, Napa, California. They will be honored at our Patrons’ Dinners on Friday, July 20 as well as featured at the Vintner’s Tasting on the evening of July 21. The wine selections are not final yet, but the ones we have look outstanding.
Our efforts to fight cancer succeed to the degree that we offer exciting world-class wines in our Auction. I would like to invite you to join our cause and to dig deep into your cellar to find something special for our Silent and/or Live Auctions. Popular lots include hard to find large format bottles, mini-verticals, old world reds, whites and sparkling wines, as well as other sought after new world wines. I can assure you that the evening’s loyal crowd includes avid collectors and supporters that bid both enthusiastically and generously.
Below you will find our donation forms. Completing these forms helps us present your wines properly at auction. For your convenience we are able to pick up any donation items upon request. I’m looking forward to seeing what you will select.
