THE EVENING’S PROGRAM In memory of David Reynolds Reynolds & Buckley Auctioneers We are deeply saddened by the loss of our long-time friend, advisor and Auctioneer, David Reynolds, in December 2013. His passion and knowledge for wine and fundraising contributed greatly to our success over the last 11 years. We especially appreciated David's flair for fashion expressed through his vast collection of vests that he would coordinate to the decor of the evening. His vests reflected an attention to detail and sense of humor that were endearing and entertaining. Over his 30 year career, David charmed and cajoled auction audiences across the country to raise millions of dollars for over 120 charities. His commitment to nonprofits was unparalleled and he will be greatly missed.

THE EVENING’S PROGRAM Michael Davis Hart Davis Hart Chicago, Illinois Michael Davis is one of the most experienced wine auctioneers in America. He was hired by Christie’s New York shortly after he graduated from college. A trip to Napa Valley to assist Michael Broadbent at the first Napa Valley Wine Auction changed everything. He assisted with the first Christie’s wine auctions in America, which at the time were elaborate road shows, and ultimately headed the Wine Department for the firm when all its wine operations were based in Chicago. Michael, along with his colleague Paul Hart, founded Davis & Company in 1993, and the firm quickly became a leading auction house specializing in rare wines. After honoring their contract with Sotheby’s, Michael and Paul joined up with their old friend John Hart, an internationally prominent rare wine merchant, to form Hart Davis Hart Wine Company in January 2005. With their combined experience of over 75 years in the rare wine business, Hart Davis Hart emerged as both a dynamic retailer and internationally important wine auction house in the first year of operation. His insight on the market is highly sought by television, radio, and print media. He has been interviewed by CNN, and NPR, virtually all wine consumer publications, as well as Time, Town & Country, Robb Report, W, and most leading newspapers across the country. Michael also regularly donates his time and services to various auctions benefitting charities and institutions across the US and Canada, and he is thrilled to participate in the Classics Wine Auction.
Drew Carney KGW Media Group Portland, Oregon Drew Carney joined KGW Newschannel 8 in September of 2006. His entertaining and community-minded reports can be seen weekdays during KGW’s News at 4(pm) and Live @ 7(pm) Shows. Drew’s TV career got its start almost 20 years ago while attending college at Temple University in Philadelphia. After graduating from Temple, he started out as a sports anchor/reporter with stops in smaller markets like Abilene, Texas, and Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In October of 2000, Drew moved to Portland and two years later made the switch from sports anchor to feature segment reporter. Since then, he’s called the Pacific Northwest home.
6
He’s married to a born and raised Oregonian and they share a home just outside Portland with their twin boys.
THE EVENING’S PROGRAM Entertainers DESIGN This versatile band consists of professional full time musicians and charismatic entertainers, who love to play all styles of music. DESIGN’s ability to read any audience, young and not so young, makes them the favorite band among venues, event planners, corporate clients and wedding couples all over the Pacific Northwest. Being in demand year round, many repeat clients know already when you are fortunate enough to book a date with DESIGN, all of your guests will have a smile on their face, having the time of their lives! Instrumentation provided by: Manny Keller - being DESIGN’s “fearless” leader and very detail oriented, he checks all aspects before and during every engagement many times over and over. The results are thousands of successful events under his belt; Karin Kopp Besides being DESIGN’s female front singer, she is also a great all around musician, playing guitar, flute, keyboards and holding down that so important bottom end for the dancers; Tracy Stone - The combination of his MC/Broadcast background and his improvisational skills make him a truly magical, fun and joyful entertainer for any event; and Steve Payne - plays lead and rhythm guitar and sings lead and background vocals. On the guitar, his versatility is showcased in many styles as well, from Jazz to Classic Rock.
The Lions Of Batucada The Lions of Batucada were founded in 1996 by Director, Brian Davis along with co-founder Derek Reith and major assistance from Andrew Hartzell.

FRIENDS OF THE CHILDREN Mission: Friends of the Children is a revolutionary one-on-one mentoring program that provides paid professional mentors, called Friends, to the community’s most vulnerable children. They are an early intervention and preventative program that selects youth in kindergarten and mentors them through high school graduation (12 ½ years).
Through no fault of their own, these children start their lives with many obstacles. n
90% qualify for free or reduced lunch
n
60% were born to a teen parent
n
60% have one or more parents who have been incarcerated
n
50% have lived in foster care or with relatives in their lifetime
How Friends of the Children Serves the Community: By providing a nurturing and sustained relationship, Friends serve as adult role models to each child in need. Friends spend an average of four hours a week in intensive one-on-one time mentoring youth to build a foundation of valuable social, academic, and life skills. They provide the guidance children need to ensure that our youth gain the necessary tools to success in school, avoid the juvenile justice system, and avoid early parenting. Through the support of Friends of the Children, children are learning the skills to become healthy members of our community.
The Program Works!! Annual third party evaluation proves Friends of the Children breaks generational cycles and gives kids an opportunity for a bright future: n
85% of program graduates earn a high school diploma or GED
n
97% have not been involved in the criminal justice system
n
98% of program teens avoid early parenting
Proceeds from the Classic Wines Auction: Every dollar that Classic Wines Auction invests in Friends of the Children returns more than seven dollars to the community! Analysts from the Harvard Business School Association of Oregon recently researched the program’s impact. They calculated a greater than 7:1 social return as a result of program graduates earning higher wages and placing lower burdens on social safety nets and the justice system.

HONORARY WINE AMBASSADORS OREGON AND INTERNATIONAL
Domaine Drouhin Oregon and Maison Joseph Drouhin Véronique Drouhin-Boss Dundee, Oregon and Beaune, France The Drouhin family has been making wine in Burgundy since 1880, and the tradition now continues into the fourth generation. Véronique Drouhin-Boss, great-granddaughter of Joseph Drouhin, is winemaker for the Drouhins’ Oregon estate, Domaine Drouhin Oregon (DDO), and guiding palate at Maison Joseph Drouhin (MJD) in Burgundy. Born in Beaune, France, Véronique is the second child of Robert and Françoise Drouhin. She grew up surrounded by wine, and in fact, learned to taste seriously from an early age. She was also fortunate to have MJD’s winemaker Laurence Jobard, the first woman winemaker at a major Burgundy house, as an early role model. Véronique completed her oenology degree in 1985 from the University of Dijon, and then took her advanced year immediately thereafter. Upon graduation, she found internships at Chateau Fieuzal in Graves (Bordeaux) and then in Oregon, working at Adelsheim, Eyrie and Bethel Heights wineries. This latter stage, in 1986, foreshadowed what would soon become a major part of her life: in 1987, her father, Robert, purchased land in the Dundee Hills of Oregon, established Domaine Drouhin Oregon and named Véronique as winemaker. To this day, the wines that Véronique produces in Oregon are prized for their elegance, balance, finesse and longevity — all hallmarks of the Drouhin style. Véronique’s primary residence is in Beaune, France, where she lives with her husband and three children (each of whom has an Oregon cuvée named in his or her honor). Today, Véronique works with some of the greatest vineyards in the world, from Musigny, Montrachet, Clos des Mouches and her own Vosne-Romanée Petit Monts to the family’s estate in the Dundee Hills of Oregon. Working with her three brothers, Véronique proudly helps carry the Drouhin family tradition forward. Her charm, kindness and enormous talent have made her a beloved person in the world of wine.

HONORARY WINE AMBASSADORS WASHI NGTON
Woodward Canyon Winery Darcey Fugman-Small and Rick Small Lowden, Washington Agricultural interests come naturally to Rick Small, raised as a part of an Eastern Washington wheat farming family. He graduated from Washington State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and studied in the School of Architecture, before returning to Walla Walla and the family business. Beginning in the mid-70’s he developed a personal interest in winemaking with his friend Gary Figgins, who later founded Leonetti Cellar. In 1976, Rick began planting vines on former wheat ground on the family farm in Woodward Canyon. He and his wife Darcey Fugman-Small founded Woodward Canyon Winery in 1981. Rick is essentially a self-taught winemaker, reading numerous texts and learning by doing. Rick was President of the Walla Walla Valley Wine Growers Association, the precursor to the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance, when the growers petitioned and received approval from the federal government for the Walla Walla Valley appellation in 1984. Rick’s wife, Darcey prepared the original petition for the Walla Walla Valley appellation, along with Becky Hendricks, the then co-owner of Seven Hills Vineyard. Darcey became General Manager of Woodward Canyon Winery in June of 2000. Previously, she was employed by the Walla Walla County Regional Planning Department for twenty-two years, beginning as an Associate Planner and rising to Planning Director. Her County position led her to Walla Walla in 1978. She met Rick and helped him bottle homemade chardonnay in his basement on their second date. The die was cast and they married in 1980. Darcey has been very involved in the community serving on a number of boards and advisory committees, including the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation, Planned Parenthood of Walla Walla, the American Association of University Women, United Way of Walla Walla, the Carnegie Art Center Board of Trustees, several Walla Walla Public School District advisory committees and the Board of Directors of the Walla Walla Valley Wine Alliance. She is currently serving as a Trustee for Walla Walla Community College. When not in her office or in a meeting, she can often be found in the winery garden which she designed and planted. Darcey and Rick have two grown children.

Jackson Family Wines Barbara Banke Sonoma, California “I like to see a parcel of land or vineyard and if it has potential to make it better, take something that is perfect soil, perfect location – and know that you can turn it into something that’s world-class.” – Barbara R. Banke One of the wine industry’s female pioneers, Jackson Family Wines Chairman & Proprietor Barbara R. Banke has spent the last two decades helping lead the company she founded with her late husband, wine icon Jess Jackson, while building and expanding some of the most beloved wine brands in the nation. The UCLA and Hastings Law School graduate is no stranger to juggling diverse workloads. A former land use and constitutional law attorney, Banke spent more than a decade arguing cases before the United States Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal, and raised three children with Jess (Katie, Julia and Christopher Jackson). In addition to the flagship Kendall-Jackson and La Crema wineries, Banke and Jackson developed nearly two dozen small, high-image wineries located across Sonoma, Napa, Monterey, Santa Maria and Mendocino, including Arrowood, Byron, Cambria, Carmel Road, Edmeades, Freemark Abbey, Hartford, La Jota, Matanzas Creek and Stonestreet. The Jackson family portfolio also includes the international properties of Chateau Lassègue in Bordeaux, Tenuta di Arceno in Tuscany, Calina in Chile and Yangarra Estates in Australia. In 2013, the Jackson family purchased vineyard property in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. In addition to the family’s wine holdings, Banke shares Jackson’s love of equestrian racing – their acclaimed stables, Stonestreet Farms in Kentucky, have produced several award-winning yearlings including Curlin, Rachel Alexandra and My Miss Aurelia. A well-known philanthropist, Banke and the Jackson family are passionate advocates for education in California.

THE ORVI AWARD Each year since 2002, the ORVI Award has been awarded to individuals who have demonstrated significant achievements in building the Oregon wine industry and establishing its worldwide reputation. The ORVI award is presented to individuals that have not only elevated the status of Oregon wines, but have also provided generous support to the Classic Wines Auction. These individuals are leaders in the Oregon wine industry and are recognized and respected for their professionalism and philanthropy.
Ronni Lacroute, 2014 Ronni grew up in the suburbs of New York City and Washington, D.C., and then finished high school in Switzerland, which is how she first learned to drink wine and to think in French. After earning a bachelor’s degree in French at Cornell University, she completed a master’s degree in romance languages at the University of Michigan. Several subsequent years of life in France included graduate degrees at the Sorbonne, much thinking in French, and a better selection of wines. The next stage of her life began with a return to the United States, 14 years of teaching French in Massachusetts, much thinking in French, occasional wine drinking, and then a momentous move to the West Coast. Next there were 14 years in Silicon Valley, California, with occasional teaching, much organic gardening and thinking in French, and a strong focus on tasting fine wines. After visiting many vineyards in California and in France, Ronni dreamed of creating a high quality, family wine estate. It was also in California that Ronni became devoted to yoga and the growing of fruit trees (while sometimes thinking in French). In 1997, Ronni became an Oregonian and is proud to reveal that she now can think in Oregonian as well as in French.

KOERNER ROMBAUER AWARD FOR SERVICE The Koerner Rombauer Award for Service was created in 2007 to recognize individuals, like Koerner Rombauer, that have consistently served, funded, and supported the Classic Wines Auction and its benefiting charities. In our 30th year, we recognize four individuals with the Koerner Rombauer Award for their collaborative and consistent support of the Classic Wines Auction: n
Bob Albers, CEO, Franz Family Bakery
n
Dan Dutton, Chairman, Stimson Lumber Company
n
Ed Maletis, Owner, Oregon Fruit Products
n
John von Schlegell, Managing Director and Co-founder, Endeavour Capital
All four have been involved with the Auction for over 20 years and each served as an Auction Chair for two years (1998-2003). During their tenure, the Auction raised more than $500,000 for the first time (1998), more than $1 million for the first time (2000), and collectively raised almost $6 million. These four titans of industry integrated their passion for wine, entrepreneurial spirits and friendships to foster increased success for the Auction and secure its future growth and sustainability. Through their efforts, the Classic Wines Auction became an independent non-profit in 2004 and began the multi-charity model that still thrives today. Each of these award recipients has contributed his own time, creativity and enthusiasm to help ensure the success of the Auction, but their greatest contributions were the result of their collaborative and strategic efforts as a group. Their partnership reflects the basic tenet of Classic Wines Auction events: we can do more together than alone. The continued success of the Classic Wines Auction is a direct result of the support and service of Bob Albers, Dan Dutton, Ed Maletis and John von Schlegell, as recognized by the Koerner Rombauer Service Award.

AUCTION CHEFS Vitaly Paley Chef & Owner, Paley’s Place, Imperial and Portland Penny Diner Critically acclaimed chef, accomplished restaurateur, and noted cookbook author Vitaly Paley has cemented his place as a leader in the American culinary scene and a trailblazer within the fast-growing Portland, Ore. food community through his award-winning food, unmatched creativity, and superior technique. With some 25 years experience, a 2005 James Beard Award for “Best Chef Pacific Northwest,” and an April 2011 winning battle on Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” under his belt, the Russian-born and French-trained Paley believes cooking is as much about soul searching and mood as it is about rigorous technique and constant repetition. As the chef and co-owner of Paley’s Place Bistro & Bar – consistently recognized as one of America’s Top Restaurants by Zagat – Vitaly has been instrumental in defining regional Northwest cuisine and is well-known for his clean preparations of local, sustainably-grown ingredients to produce seasonal, perfectly-executed dishes. He and wife Kimberly together apprenticed at the two-star Michelin restaurant Moulin de la Gorce near Limoges, France. When a basket of perfect morel mushrooms arrived all the way from Oregon, they knew it was a sign. In February 1995, they realized their dream and opened Paley’s Place, which boasts Vitaly’s seasonally inspired American menu with Southern French and Northern Italian influences along with an acclaimed wine program run by Kimberly who also serves as the restaurant’s general manager. In October 2008, Vitaly and Kimberly published their first cookbook, The Paley’s Place Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from the Pacific Northwest (Ten Speed Press). Well-matched wine pairings, evocative photography and features on local food producers round out the book, which has received both national and local media recognition including “Best Regional Cookbook” (Epicurious.com) and “Top 15 Cookbooks of 2008” (AOL Food). In addition to many other accolades, Vitaly was nominated as a 2012 and 2013 James Beard Foundation Semifinalist for Outstanding Chef and was named the 2011 StarChefs.com Portland Rising Stars “Chef Mentor of the Year” exemplifying his dedication to giving back to the culinary community. He has been featured at industry events including dinners for the James Beard Foundation and International Association of Culinary Professionals while also devoting time to countless national, regional and Portland-based charity events.

AUCTION CHEFS Gabriel Rucker Chef and Co-Owner, Le Pigeon and Little Bird Gabriel Rucker is the Chef and Co-Owner of Le Pigeon and Little Bird in Portland, Oregon. His edgy, highly original, and recipe-free masterpieces, evocative of French bistro signatures and classic American fare, have gained him both regional and national acclaim, recently earning him a 2013 James Beard Award for Best Chef Northwest. Gabriel’s first and favorite experience with food was at a bagel shop in his hometown of Napa during his rebellious high school days. Upon failing math at Santa Rosa Junior College, Gabriel was told he should learn a trade and he decided to attend cooking school (which lasted one year). In 2003, Gabriel left California for Oregon, where he landed a job at the esteemed Paley’s Place in Portland. After two years at Paley’s, he accepted a position as souschef at the Gotham Building Tavern. There, he took straightforward American staples and retouched them with classic French technique to resounding approval. In June of 2006, Gabriel opened Le Pigeon and quickly became an overnight success. Food & Wine Magazine aptly named him one of the country’s Best New Chefs in 2007. For four consecutive years beginning in 2008, he was nominated for The James Beard Foundation’s Rising Star Chef award, alongside a handful of the nation’s most talented chefs under the age of 30. In 2008, Le Pigeon was named the Oregonian’s Restaurant of the Year. Then, 2011 was a year of surprises: Gabriel returned to Portland with the 2011 James Beard’s Rising Star Award in tow and became the proud father of his son. A year later, Gabriel received the Chef of the Year award in Portland Monthly Magazine and Little Bird was named the Oregonian’s 2012 Restaurant of the Year. In 2013, his first year of nomination in the Best Chef regional category, Gabriel returned home with the James Beard Best Chef Northwest Award. Gabriel Rucker and Meredith Erickson, with Lauren and Andrew Fortgang, have released their first cookbook, Le Pigeon: Cooking at the Dirty Bird (Ten Speed Press), on September 17, 2013. Forwarded by Chef Tom Colicchio, the cookbook is a serious yet playful collection of 150 recipes celebrating Rucker’s high-low extremes in cooking, combining the wild and the refined in a unique and progressive style. When he’s not at his restaurants, Gabriel can be found at home, often watching San Francisco Giants games, with his son and daughter and wife Hana.

Eric Joppie Chef, Bar Avignon Slow cooking, local ingredients and old world techniques are the hallmarks of Eric Joppie’s food. Whether by roasting, smoking, curing or pickling, these methods figure prominently into his bold yet uncomplicated style of cooking. Eric always loved to cook for his friends, but the decision to enroll in the California Culinary Academy in 2000 was solidified after he was blown away by the food on a trip to San Francisco. Culinary school led to an externship at the Savoy Hotel in London, where Eric worked as a Banquet Saucier in a brigade of 80 international cooks. The next phase of Eric’s culinary career was defined by the conventional wisdom of the west coast culinary scene: farm to table, local produce and slow cooking. He has worked at Castagna and many well known Bay Area restaurants like Lark Creek Inn, Insalata’s and Fork. He also worked as Executive Sous Chef at the renowned Mayacama Golf and Wine Club in Sonoma County, using the best local ingredients to create elegant yet approachable wine country cuisine. Eric is excited to bring his culinary talents to Portland where he can cook with some of the country’s finest local ingredients. He’s inspired by the familial atmosphere at Bar Avignon and steadfastly cultivates close relationships with local farmers, utilizing the restaurant’s own Broken Fence Farm to create a dining experience that is both singular and approachable to Bar Avignon.

Legendary Burgundy
Ever since the 14th century when Duke Philip the Bold denigrated “vile and disloyal Gamay” and praised Burgundian Pinot Noir in its stead, issuing decrees to protect it, wine lovers have always held a special place in their heart for these dry, elegant wines. Maybe it’s the independent spirit of Burgundy’s winemakers, or maybe it’s simply the wine’s sensuality, but we suspect that people who adore Burgundy are a little more discerning, and more likely than others to live life to the fullest. (Hey, they didn’t call him Philip the Bold for nothing). This lot of eleven superstar Burgundies includes a 1972 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti worth more than many people’s automobiles. The Romanée-Conti vineyards are worked with horses and grapes harvested and sorted by hand, according to the phases of the moon, to produce a wine that critic Clive Coates calls “The scarcest, most expensive— and frequently the best—wine in the world.” Take home these carefully aged Burgundies and look forward to some delicious evenings.

Domaine Drouhin Oregon 2014 OREGON WINE AMBASSADOR
One couple will enjoy a full season of Domaine Drouhin Oregon, from seeing the vines’ first green shoots in the spring, though the excitement of harvest in the fall. The Drouhin family’s winemaking roots run deep, having taken hold in Burgundy’s best vineyards more than a century ago. In 1987, Robert Drouhin was invited to participate in the first International Pinot Noir Celebration, and on that trip, he decided to purchase land in the Dundee Hills. Where there had only been Christmas trees and wheat, the Drouhin’s began planting their first vineyards in Oregon. At the same time, Robert asked Véronique to be the winery’s new winemaker, and her brother Philippe Drouhin took responsibility for viticulture. In 1988, DDO produced its first vintage, from purchased grapes, and in 1989 built its landmark, four-story gravity flow winery. The rest is history. The winner of this package will get to know Domaine Drouhin year-round! First of all, you'll go to the head of the line to become a member of Domaine Drouhin Oregon’s wine club, including an allocation of the Pinot Noir Louise, for which there is now a 3 1/2 year waiting list. The fun starts immediately, because you're invited to the special Louise release party on March 8th. In August, you’ll attend a Plate & Pitchfork dinner at Domain Drouhin, where you’ll be treated to a spectacular dinner sourced from the verdant surrounding farms—and vineyards, naturally. Continue your experience with one night at the scenic Domain Drouhin Oregon estate guest house in Yamhill County. From your charming home base, you’ll spend the next day touring local wineries, as well as savoring a private tour and tasting of Domain Drouhin itself. When harvest comes, you’ll discuss that year’s vintages with winemaker Véronique Drouhin over a Harvest Lunch. Bring a bottle of DDO’s 1st vintage to share and bring another couple, as well. And, of course, harvest wouldn’t be complete without a place at the table at Domaine Drouhin’s celebrated Oregon Harvest Dinner. In February 2015, you'll be on the list for DDO's fabulous Valentine's event, For The Love of Wine. Tonight, you'll take home a 3 liter of 2012 Domaine Drouhin Oregon Dundee Hills Pinot Noir and 9 bottles of the 1st vintage of Domaine Drouhin from 1988. With this package you can anticipate the coming year, the new friends, and the wonderful wines you’ll experience. This package will be sold as one lot for two people.

The wines will be tempting, but be sure to save your palate for another VIP wine tasting and vineyard tour at SelbachOster, with proprietor Johannes Selbach.

Happy Birthday Woodward Canyon! 2014 WASHINGTON WINE AMBASSADOR
We’re all in favor of celebrating birthdays in a big way, and this year the Walla Walla appellation turns the big 3-0! Two couples will toast the anniversary with some of Walla Walla’s best wines, from one of Walla Walla’s premier wineries, Woodward Canyon. (We’d be remiss if we didn’t note that Woodward Canyon was the Classic Wines Auction’s first Washington Wine Ambassador in 1996. Thank you!) Win this lot, and you and another couple will spend a weekend in Walla Walla with a VIP tour and tasting at Woodward Canyon, Rick’s famous wood-fired pizza lunch at the winery, plus private tours and tastings at Long Shadows Vintners, Reynvaan Family Vineyards, and Seven Hills Winery, highlighting the 30th anniversary of the Walla Walla appellation. And of course, a proper celebration includes private jet transportation between Portland and Walla Walla. The festivities continue with a five course dinner with the Smalls prepared by James Beard recognized Chef Antonio Campolio at the chef’s table at the Marcus Whitman. Enjoy it! You’ll be staying at the luxurious hotel for two nights, so there’s no need to drive afterward. In fact, there’s no need to drive at all, since you’ll have ground transportation while you’re in Walla Walla. Plus, while you are in the area, connect with NW editor of Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Paul Gregutt, for a special tasting at his home in Waitsburg, WA. Paul will pick wines from his personal cellar (and he has some nice wines). To draw out the memory of this wonderful trip, you’ll receive a one year winery membership for each couple, plus one 30th Anniversary vertical. This is already an amazing package, but there’s more! Woodward Canyon’s Darcey Fugman-Small and Rick Small will come to your house for opening of the vertical at a mutually agreeable time. Now let’s have a look at the stunning wines in the vertical: The wines featured in the vertical are Woodward Canyon’s 1981 to 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon, originally known as the “Dedication Series” and now known as the “Old Vines.” These wines have been made primarily from the same vineyards since day one, Sagemoor in the Columbia Valley and Champoux (in which the winery is a partner) in the Horse Heaven Hills. The 1987 was the first Washington wine to ever be included in the top 10 of the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 list and was ranked #10. The 1989 was ranked #56 and the 1991 was ranked #22 in their subsequent Top 100 lists. The 1995 and 1998 were included in The Wine Enthusiast’s Best of the Year listings and the 2005 was Seattle Met’s #1 of the top 100 Washington Wines. All together these wines have received 29 scores of 90+ from the Wine Spectator, The Wine Enthusiast, Robert Parker, Stephen Tanzer, and Wine and Spirits. These wines have a reputation for aging very well.

Dinner with San Antonio Spurs Coach Popovich
Taste and dine with a basketball icon and revisit nine Oregon vintages of wine that have never been available for purchase! Gregg Popovich, Coach of the San Antonio Spurs, is famous for winning NBA Championships and his laconic wit and wisdom. A serious wine enthusiast (he had to build a separate building to house his wine cellar), he has long been a part owner in A to Z Wineworks and, for his own personal and charitable use, every year A to Z crafts a special blend for him called Rock & Hammer. It has never been for sale and there has never been a vertical tasting of these wines. As Harvey Steiman asked in the Wine Spectator almost eight years ago, “Will it ever be available to the public?” No, but you could be one of the lucky few beyond Pop’s circle who will get to taste them all from 2004-2012. The name Rock & Hammer comes from a Jacob Riis’ quote in the Spurs’ facility: “When nothing seems to help, I go look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two and I know it was not that blow that did it but all that had gone before.” Coach Pop will present the vertical tasting of 2004-2012 Rock & Hammer Pinot Noir wines with Sam Tannahill, Co-Founder and Director of Winemaking and Viticulture for A to Z Wineworks adding insights into the limited edition wines. The tasting will be held at REX HILL winery and be followed by dinner in the lovely REX HILL gardens prepared by Carmen Peirano and Eric Ferguson of Nick’s Italian Cafe and Fino in Fondo. Among the guests may be New Yorker, but native Oregonian Henry Abbott, founder of ESPN’s True Hoop NBA blog. And tonight, each bidder will take home a magnum of 2012 REX HILL Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. This package will be sold for $750 per person for a maximum of 30 people, and will take place on Sunday, July 20, 2014. THIS LOT INCLUDES: ■■

California “Cult”
We had a lot of work tracking these lovelies down, but we did it for you. Yes, this lot contains 20 bottles of nearly impossible to find California Cult Cabernets. Case in point, the 2004 Screaming Eagle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The Wine Spectator says, “Impeccably balanced, intense and complex, with a mix of savory currant, loamy earth and firmly structured tannins. Tightens up on the finish, where the tannins clamp down, yet the finish is long and persistent.” The tasting notes of those who’ve been lucky enough to sample this wine include descriptors like “sexy,” “luscious,” and “spectacularly memorable.” And the 2006 Harlan Estate Napa Valley? Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gave it 96 points and said, “Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by classic aromas of crème de cassis, melted licorice, smoked meats, burning embers, and graphite. It has thrown off some of the tannic clout it displayed last year, revealing great balance. A candidate for ‘wine of the vintage’.” And this is a magnum! Every wine in this remarkable lot can be described with superlatives, but let’s feature just one more, the 2010 Bryant Family Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The Wine Spectator awarded in 98 points, noting, “Delightfully complex, elegant, rich and subtle, with a core of ripe, spicy currant, black cherry and plum that’s pure and focused, supple and juicy, with an amazing finish that reverberates with flavor. Shows great balance, concentration and persistence.” Most of these wines are ready to drink now or cellar for up to a decade or longer. These wines have it all: great heritage, individual vision, and extreme rarity. You can’t afford not to bid on them. This package will be as one lot and includes 20 bottles.

Gregory Grenon Featured Art
Gregory Grenon, one of the Northwest’s most recognized artists, paints emotionally charged portraits in oil on glass. Strong dark lines set off his brilliantly hued compositions. Before encasing his paintings in found frames, mirrors, or windows, Grenon flips the glass around and thus presents the viewer with the reverse image. The result is a richly layered plane of tones across a pristine, luminous surface. Grenon’s subjects are primarily women expressing emotions ranging from vulnerability, sadness, and apprehension to confidence, strength, and resolve. Grenon’s paintings express a powerful range of emotions on his behalf. They also serve as a platform to remind viewers of the significance and powerful profile of women. As he states, “I want to feel the freedom or lack of freedom of being a woman… My paintings are me talking through women, speaking up for women.” This brand new piece, completed in 2013, is titled Her Attitude is Inconvenient, and measures 67" tall by 53" wide and is oil on glass. Gregory Grenon lives and works in Portland, Oregon. His work is featured in galleries throughout the country and has been exhibited at the Museum of Northwest Art, Washington, the Paris Gibson Square Museum in Montana, the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, the Bellevue Art Museum, the Rockford Art Museum in Illinois, the Tacoma Art Museum, and the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art. Grenon has been awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Visual Arts Fellowship in Painting in addition to multiple residencies in the Pacific Northwest. TO TAKE HOME THIS EVENING: ■■

Winemaker Véronique Drouhin will host you for lunch on the Clos des Mouches terrasse, if the day is fair.

VINI Award Winner Dinner: Roger Hinshaw
Classic Wines Auction couldn’t happen without the tireless support of some of the region’s most generous individuals. Roger Hinshaw, Bank of America President, exemplifies this sort of open-hearted, dedicated individual, and that is why we are awarding him the 2014 VINI Award. Each year since 1992, the Classic Wines Auction has presented the VINI Award to individuals who have used their enthusiasm and support of viticulture and passion for the community to increase the success of Classic Wines Auction events. Roger Hinshaw has served on the Classic Wines Auction Board for the last nine years and has been involved with the Auction for more than 15 years. The VINI Award dinner this year will be held at the spacious and inviting tasting rooms at Hawks View Cellars in Sherwood. Since 1991, Hawks View Cellars has been a small family-owned winery in Oregon’s Chehalem Mountain range crafting limited production wines from low input viticulture and detailed winemaking. From the winery’s beautifully landscaped patio and lawn, a ring of five Cascade peaks forms a dramatic backdrop to the sweeping view of Oregon’s wine country. The dinner— scheduled during a blissful late summer evening, Saturday September 13, 2014—will overlook vineyards bursting with grapes. The dinner’s spectacular setting will take second place to the laughter and good cheer, not to mention the evening’s food and wine. To begin, enjoy champagne from Moët Hennessy. Then, each fabulous course will be paired with a special selection from Hawk’s View’s full range of wines, including Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from Oregon, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Washington’s grapes, and Pinot Noir and Syrah from California’s vineyards. Each couple will take home a special bottle of Hawks View Cellars’ 2013 La Baleine red blend. This will be an evening to celebrate and remember for years to come. This package will be sold for $2,500 per couple, for a maximum of 25 couples, and will take place Saturday, September 13, 2014. THIS LOT INCLUDES: ■■

Napa Experience
Every wine lover yearns to visit Napa at least once—if not several times—to sample the area’s outstanding beauty, food, and, of course, world class wine. Win this lot, and two couples will experience the Napa vacation of a lifetime July 22 - 26, 2014. Your five day, four night excursion will begin with a private jet to Santa Rosa, where you’ll be whisked to the Trinchero Family Estates in St. Helena. You’ll unwind for two nights at the Historic Sutter Home Victorian Inn, surrounded by charm and extensive gardens, and enjoy delectable wine country breakfasts each morning. During your days, you’ll enjoy a VIP tour and tasting at the Trinchero Napa Valley Winery. Notes of cigar, chocolate, currants? Your senses will be keener after attending the Mastering Wine Aromas Seminar. Finally, you’ll relish a farm-to-table dinner at the Trinchero Napa Valley Winery Bagna Cauda Room prepared by Director of Culinary James Houghton and the Trinchero Family Estates Culinary Team. Naturally, each course will be skillfully paired with handselected wines from the Trinchero Family Estates portfolio. Your agenda includes lunch at Gott’s Roadside, renowned as the iconic gourmet burger stand from St. Helena, serving award winning American and California classics using local, seasonal ingredients. Following lunch, you’ll take part in a tour and tasting at Schramsberg Vineyards and Cellars in Calistoga, home of highly rated sparkling wines as well as elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. At Schramsberg you will also witness a sabering demonstration as staff carry out the rare and exciting opening of a champagne bottle with the strike of a special saber. As Napoleon, who is said to have popularized sabrage, said, “Champagne! In victory one deserves it; in defeat one needs it.” We think you’ll consider winning this package a victory indeed. Then you’re off to Yountville for a VIP experience at the Markham Vineyards, where you’ll spend two nights in their delightful guesthouse at Hopper Creek Vineyards. Of course, you’ll take part in another VIP tour and tasting at Markham. Sleep well, because the next day Eclectic Tour will be your driver and guide for a full day of wine tasting at cult wineries chosen by you, with the opportunity to meet owners and winemakers. Your journey off the beaten path includes a private lunch at an undoubtedly bucolic setting. This is the ultimate experience for those with cellars to fill and a true passion for ultra-premium wine. A very special treat awaits that evening, dinner at 3-star Michelin rated Restaurant at Meadowood. Enjoy a casually elegant dining experience featuring a modern approach to Napa Valley cuisine by Chef Christopher Kostow. This package will be sold as one lot for two couples and will take place July 22 July 26, 2014.

Commemorative Magnums
This year’s Classic Wines Auction Commemorative Magnum is very special indeed: it combines the highly sought-after 2012 Ken Wright Cellars Carter Vineyard Pinot Noir with the evocative work of artist Gregory Grenon. First, consider the wine. Ken Wright’s guiding principle is to care for the land and let the grape speak for itself without forcing it into any pre-ordained profile. As a result, Ken Wright Cellars has earned a worldwide reputation for gorgeously crafted wine whose every sip reveals terroir and the sensitive profile of the Pinot Noir grape. The 2012 Carter Vineyard is fruit-focused with moderate tannins and acidity, and aromas of black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, and plum skin. Next, look at the artwork that complements the wine. Gregory Grenon, one of the Northwest’s most recognized artists, paints emotionally charged portraits in oil on glass. Strong dark lines set off his brilliantly hued compositions. Grenon’s paintings express a powerful range of emotions on his behalf. They also serve as a platform to remind viewers of the significance and powerful profile of women, as reflected by Conceal, the image captured on these bottles. Each magnum comes in a custom, Classic Wines Auction 30th Anniversary wood box and is signed by Ken Wright and Gregory Grenon. These will be sold for $350 each, maximum of 47 bottles.

California Cabernet Deluxe
Win this lot, and give your wine cellar an infusion of 50 bottles of top-of-the-line Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. We’re not just talking any Cabernet, either, but bottles from four of the appellation’s finest wineries—Caymus, Chateau Montelena, Spottswoode, Silver Oak, and Charles Krug—and from a range of vintages dating as far back as 1974. First, you’ll take home a case of Caymus Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from 2000 to 2006. Caymus Special Selection is the Wagner family’s flagship wine and is comprised of the very best barrels of the vintage. As Robert Parker wrote, “Not many wineries, anywhere in the world, can match the Wagner family’s consistent record of success.” Parker’s scores for these bottles range from 92 to 96 points. Add to that a case from another venerable Napa Valley winery, Chateau Montelena, with bottles from 1996 to 2009, including the 2003, of which Robert Parker said, “This is another example of why Chateau Montelena over the last thirty years has been the most consistently fine producer of top-flight, world-class Napa Cabernet Sauvignon!” Ten bottles of Spottswoode Estate from 1999 through 2010 join this amazing package. Robert Parker had this to say about Spottswoode, “When the history of Napa’s great vineyards is written, the 40-acre Spottswoode Vineyard, tucked behind the quaint town of St. Helena, will be counted among the finest grand cru vineyards of the region.” The bottle of 2007 Spottswoode Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon included in this lot has the 100 point rating to prove it. Last but far from least, you’ll take home a case of older Charles Krug Peter Mondavi Family Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, including three bottles of the stellar 1974 vintage. This is a truly rare find and one you’d be foolish to pass by. This package will be as one lot and includes 50 bottles. TO TAKE HOME THIS EVENING:

Meyers Leonard One-on-One
At Classic Wines Auction, our mission is to help children and families rise above difficult circumstances and thrive. Portland Trail Blazer Meyers Leonard knows firsthand what that’s all about. He’s faced difficult challenges and through hard work and discipline he’s succeeded to become an example for others. Win this lot and you can host up to 15 kids (elementary or middle school aged) for 2 hours of inspiration, fun on the court, and learning with pro basketball star Meyers Leonard. To accommodate the Trail Blazer’s schedule, this event will be offered on Saturday, March 15 at the Trail Blazers Practice Facility in Tualatin. The Trail Blazers Practice Facility is one of the newest and largest practice facilities in the National Basketball Association. Meyers Leonard’s early life was largely defined by family tragedy. When he was six years old, his father James, a golf pro, was killed in a freak bicycle accident. His mother Tracie, had been largely housebound since her husband’s death, sidelined by an old horseback injury and subsequent disc surgery that left her with crippling pain. When he was in second grade, young Meyers gained a surrogate family that helped him develop the strength, skill, and discipline needed to enter professional sports. The children who take part in this package will start their special day with one hour clinic of drills, tailored to the specific age group, from the Trail Blazers coaching staff and Meyers Leonard. After the fun and learning, they’ll do a Q and A, pictures and autographs with Meyers. These children will never forget this day, but just to make sure, they’ll each take home an autographed jersey and basketball from their new favorite player, Meyers Leonard. And for you, there are two front row seats next to the Blazer bench for the Trail Blazers game on Sunday, March 16, 2014.

100 Cayuse Presents the Power of Four Important things often come in fours. Four seasons. Four elements. Four Beatles—if you count Ringo. And four glorious, three-liter bottles of Cayuse. That’s one for each corner of the Earth, which is where they began. Like all Cayuse wines before or since, the 2011 vintage was born of rocky hardship. Ever the stern taskmaster, vigneron Christophe Baron believes a little suffering is good for a vine—keeps it from getting too comfortable and complacent. As a result, these four grew up alert and lively, eager to leap from the inhospitable soil straight into the welcoming bottle. Here’s what Jeb Dunnuck of The Wine Advocate had to say about them: 2011 Camaspelo “. . . offers deep, layered aromas and flavors of currants, black cherry, flowers, leafy herbs and spice to go with a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and layered mouthfeel … 95-97 points.” 2011 Flying Pig “. . . offers up a knockout bouquet of plum, licorice, mineral, violets and dried spices on the nose . . . Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with superb depth through the mid-palate and a chewy, broad finish … 94-96 points.” 2011 En Chamberlin Vineyard Syrah “Offering up notions of liquid herbs, bacon fat, exotic flowers and grilled meat, as well as a knockout core of sweet Syrah fruit, it possesses a full-bodied, structured mouthfeel that carries awesome purity of fruit … 94-97 points.” 2011 En Cerise Vineyard Syrah “Thick, full-bodied and voluptuous, common for this vineyard, it has fabulous aromas and flavors (black cherry, pepper, and olive tapenade), thrilling purity and a mouth coating, decadent profile that’s hard to resist … 94-97 points.” Proven survivors, these four wines come ready to weather the bleakest of conditions. Dressed in a silky parka, with plum mittens and long purple leg warmers, the 2011 vintage will warm you from the inside out. This package will be sold as one lot. THIS LOT INCLUDES: ■■

104 “Mt. Adams Slumber” Mt. Adams Slumber captures both the majesty of the Pacific Northwest as well as its more intimate, otherworldly beauty. As artist Elizabeth Ganji says, “I am most inspired by the fleeting moment of sunrise and sunset; such powerful, intense change in the world around us. For a few brief moments, we are enveloped so dramatically in a divine play of light—much different than the light we see through the day’s course. Long shadows glow with reflected light and are just as alive as the stretches that are hit by the sun. Standing at the rivers edge, one looks down and sees the sky. The exquisite display is then over as quickly as it arrived, and once again we find ourselves standing there in disbelief that the quiet, passing moment was as intense as it really was. The incredible thing is that there’ll never be another just like it.” “My favorite colors are the illuminated chartreuse strip one might see in the distant low-lit landscape, the sienna undertones that rise up out of a field, and the splash of gold so bright, its almost white – a glare that bounces off a horse’s back in competition with the sun.” Mt. Adams Slumber fully embraces Ganji’s vision, as thoroughly as it bewitches our senses. Win this painting, and you’ll muse again and again over its poetry and magnificence. This package will be sold as one lot. TO TAKE HOME THIS EVENING: ■■

111 2001 German Riesling 1 As noted wine writers Huge Johnson and Jancis Robinson agree, “The Riesling is the great grape of Germany.” This and the next four lots show the full expression of the magnificent grape that is so uniquely special—yet so underappreciated by the average wine drinker. Real connoisseurs, however, value the unusual floral and spicy quality the Riesling grape can produce in a way no other grape can. In addition, Rieslings are aromatic and fresh when sampled young, but they develop a fascinating maturity the real lover will appreciate. Purchase one of these lots, and you’ll savor fine wine that has been lauded for its perfume as far back as the 14th century. As a more modern wine lover, Adam Lechmere of Food and Travel notes, “Riesling-lovers will sell their souls for the best German examples, which are among the most delicate, long-lived wine ever made.” We love well-made red wine, but a special place in our hearts will always live for Riesling. This package will be sold as one lot and includes 38 bottles. TO TAKE HOME THIS EVENING:

116 I Love Lucy and Buty and Beast “Are you ‘unpoopular’? Do you pop out at parties?” or so asked Lucy in the famous Vitametavegamin episode of I Love Lucy. Unpoopular or not, we’re sure you’ll love this Seattle getaway featuring a dinner at Ethan Stowell’s fabulous Tavolàta paired by Buty’s tremendous wines (hey, anyone remember the one where Lucy stomped grapes?) with a showing of The Paramount’s I Love Lucy by the Seattle Theatre Group. Plan two evenings for this one, because you’ll want to savor it. Night one, you and another couple will convene at Tavolàta for a gourmet Italian meal the likes of which our beloved Lucy never saw. As Stowell says, he “grew up in Seattle and is self-taught.” He was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs in America in 2008 and has been nominated for more James Beard Awards than he cares to remember. He opened Union in 2003 and hasn’t looked back. Tavolàta is all about fresh, local ingredients and unpretentious, but delicious presentation. Buty is a family-owned winery located in Walla Walla. Using grapes from a handful of renowned Washington winegrowing sites, including a prized section of Phinny Hill Vineyard and Buty’s own organic Rockgarden Estate, Buty makes a small portfolio of highly acclaimed wines, including its Columbia Rediviva, Rediviva of the Stones, Sémillon, Sauvignon & Muscadelle blend, and its Conner Lee Vineyard Chardonnay. Buty’s visionary Rediviva wines were Washington’s first premium blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, and continue to set the standard for this iconic blend among the great wineries of the Northwest. Guided by Nina Buty, the Buty team includes legendary consultant Zelma Long and renowned winemaker Chris Dowsett. Buty’s wines have earned a reputation for their artistry, and for the authenticity that inspires Buty’s winemaking approach. Buty has been at the forefront of several winemaking movements—from its commitment to using little-or-no new oak in many of its wines to a belief in picking earlier to retain purity, aromatics and acidity, and finally the winery’s dedication to a natural approach that eschews the use of any additions or “enhancement tools.” Today, Buty’s sought-after, limited-production wines are recognized as benchmarks for quality, creativity and value—offering a rare intersection of all three elements. Night two is I Love Lucy—need we say more? A charming host entertains and enlightens you to the behind-the-scenes filming process of this brand new thing called “television;” the Crystaltone Singers perform advertising jingles in perfect 50s style harmony; and the sidesplitting antics of America’s favorite foursome—Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel—are presented live on stage and in color for the very first time. It’s a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience. This package will be sold as one lot for three couples and will take place on a date between April 3 and April 6, 2014.

130 Celebrate with Taittinger Despite protests from her friend la Veuve Clicquot, Taittinger has long been considered the “elegant lady” of Champagne. Founded in 1734, Taittinger Champagnes have traditionally been lauded for their distinctive and impeccably crisp profile with a touch of yeast. And what marvelously elegant bottles these are! The 1978 Taittinger Collection was the first bottle in the series. It was commissioned from Victor Vasarely, the Hungarian French Op Art master whose visual experiments informed the aesthetics of our digital age. The Taittinger Collection Series bottles are released only in great vintages from a selection of the year’s finest cuvées. The bottle itself is beautiful to behold, and its contents surely even more wonderful to savor. The 1990 Comtes DE Champagne Millesime Blanc de Blancs is intended as the ultimate expression of the Taittinger style. Only the first press juice is used. Prior to bottling, the Blanc de Blancs is aged for 10 years on the lees in 13th-century chalk cellars that were once the property of Saint Nicaise abbey. The Wine Spectator awarded this wine 94 points. This package will be sold as one lot. TO TAKE HOME THIS EVENING:

139 Jura Red Wine from 1904 In 1904, women wore long skirts and wide-brimmed hats as they slowly began to shake the rigor of the Victorian era. It was the year James Joyce met his future wife, Nora, on a June afternoon in Dublin, and the year Henry Ford set a land speed record with the nascent machine, an automobile, reaching an incredible 91 miles an hour. This was also the year this Jean Bourdy Cotes-du-Jura wine was bottled. Caves Jean Bourdy has been making wine since 1475 in the tiny village of Arlay, France, abutting Bordeaux. Fifteen generations later, the winery is still run by the family and is now biodynamic. Jura reds are made from local grape varietals: Poulsard and Trousseau as well as Pinot Noir. They are spicy, earthy, and light-to-medium bodied, thanks in part to the blue marl soils from which they draw their nutrients and the unique ambient yeasts. Tradition holds that Jura wines are not topped off in the barrel, which builds a protective layer that controls the wine’s exposure to oxygen for their long gestation before bottling and makes them age-worthy. This package will be as one lot. TO TAKE HOME THIS EVENING:

140 First & Second Vintages of Opus One Opus One was born of a marriage of the best of French and Californian wine traditions. In 1979, Chateau Mouton Rothschild winemaker Lucien Sionneau and Robert Mondavi’s son Timothy joined forces to create Opus One’s first vintage at the Robert Mondavi Winery. When 1979 and 1980 vintages were simultaneously unveiled in 1984 as Opus One’s first release, they became America’s first ultra-premium wine, fetching prices formerly unheard of for California wine. Before long, no Wall Street mogul could go without a bottle of Opus One in his cellar, and many a bottle was uncorked in private yachts and luxury penthouses. In this package, you have the rare opportunity to take home two bottles of each of Opus One’s first two vintages. Not only will you enjoy exquisite, carefully aged wine, you will own a piece of history. This package will be sold as one lot. TO TAKE HOME THIS EVENING:

298 2011 REX HILL 2011 REX HILL Jacob-Hart Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 5 liters, One bottle The 2011 REX HILL Jacob-Hart Vineyard Pinot Noir has a beautiful, deep, dark color and leads with primary aromas of blackberries, cherries, lavender, cassis and wet stone that broaden into more masculine, earthy aromas of clove, oak, leaf tobacco and game. A concentrated and succulent attack prefaces flavors of blue fruit, spice, iron and minerals that linger with hints of coffee and chocolate. The mid-palate is underpinned by a rich, ripe-tannic structure and beautiful acidity that give shape and definition to the concentration of ripe fruit. True to form for Jacob-Hart this wine shows the breed, masculinity and power of the vineyard wrapped in the minerality and classic nature of the 2011 vintage. This is a wine for the cellar, that will age and gain tremendous complexity over the next 15 - 20 years. Contributed by: REX HILL

During this entire long period, through twenty six generations, the family has always directly managed this work with courageous and, at times, innovative decisions, but always maintaining, unaltered, a fundamental respect for tradition and for the territory in which they have operated.Today the firm is run by Marquis Piero Antinori with the support of his three daughters, Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, directly involved in the work of the house. Tradition, passion, and intuition have been the three driving principles which have led the Marquis Antinori firm to become a leader in Italian wine. Contributed by: Marchesi Antinori
