WELCOME

FROM THE 2023 SUN VALLEY WINE AUCTION CO-CHAIRS: ANDREA, CHRISTOPHER & JENNIFER LAPORTE, AND FAMILY

We are excited to host the 42nd annual Sun Valley Museum of Art Wine Auction and pleased that you are joining us for several days of excellent wines, outstanding food, and conviviality in our beautiful Wood River Valley. While Sun Valley is famous for its array of outdoor activities, it also boasts a thriving arts scene that is the envy of much larger communities. We hope you will take advantage of a number of these opportunities while participating in the Wine Auction festivities.

Our family first visited Sun Valley 30 years ago, and although we are spread around the country, Ketchum is our “home base.” We feel blessed that the youngest generation has the good fortune to spend much of their childhood exploring the wilderness while also being exposed to the wide variety of art and cultural events in our town. Summer days are spent rafting, hiking, or mountain biking followed in the evening by a gallery walk, a ballet performance, or a concert on the lawn at Sun Valley or River Run. With most of the Wine Auction events in the afternoon or evenings, you will have ample opportunity to take advantage of all that Sun Valley has to offer.

The Wine Auction is the primary fundraiser for the Sun Valley Museum of Art (SVMoA), providing half its operating budget. Free and open to the public, SVMoA is a non-collecting contemporary museum founded more than 50 years ago that focuses on timely, relevant, and thought-provoking arts and educational programming and exhibitions. A fundamental component of the Museum’s mission is to provide exceptional learning experiences for all ages and skill levels. SVMoA seeks to inspire students’ curiosity and develop their self-expression and critical thinking skills. We hope you will visit the recently renovated Museum on your visit to view the summer exhibition Hidden Gems: Sun Valley Collects

On behalf of the entire community, we thank you, our very generous patrons and contributors, for participating in the 2023 Sun Valley Wine Auction. While you sip delicious wine in a stunning setting, we hope you will take pride in supporting vital arts education in our community.

With gratitude, The Laporte Family

DIRECTOR’S LETTER

FROM SVMOA’S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: JENNIFER WELLS GREEN

WELCOME, GENEROUS SUPPORTERS!

The Sun Valley Museum of Art is thrilled to kick off the summer season with four incredible days of winemaker dinners, outdoor adventures, gourmet experiences, and discoveries for both the senses and mind.

We are grateful to everyone who participates in this spectacular event. All proceeds from the festivities fund SVMoA’s educational and outreach programs, and we thank you for investing in our future: the children, youth, and young adults of the Wood River Valley. Let’s all raise a glass and toast the Laporte family for co-chairing the 2023 Sun Valley Museum Wine Auction! I am thankful for Andie’s leadership of SVMoA’s board and delighted that Chris and Jen have joined her at the helm. To our prestigious vintners, your contributions make this memorable and outstanding event possible. I am also grateful to the hosts of our Winemaker Dinners, Magnum Pig Roast, and River Ranch Wine Walk for opening your homes and for your generous hospitality. And to our award-winning chefs, thank you for sharing your culinary talents and for all you do to make these evenings so special and unique.

My deepest gratitude to our sponsors, and my heartfelt thanks to the amazing, dedicated SVMoA team for their unwavering commitment to the Museum—and for bringing this event to life.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS YEAR, AND CHEERS TO ALL.

FEATURING SPECIAL MUSICAL GUEST STEVE POLTZ

A master of full disclosure, Steve Poltz outs himself as an unrepentant entertainer. A sardonic provocateur with a lighthearted, acoustic-driven wit, the Associated Press dubbed Poltz “part busker, part Iggy Pop and part Robin Williams, a freewheeling folkie with a quick wit and big heart.”

WITH BLUE FARM WINES & IDAHO ROCKY MOUNTAIN RANCH

A winemaker dinner like no other.

Courtney and Steve Kapp, proprietors of Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch (IRMR), invite you to join them for a winemaker dinner like no other: a multicourse sunset meal for eight guests featuring the exquisite Chardonnay and Pinot Noir curated by winemaker extraordinaire Anne Moller-Racke of Blue Farm Wines. Following a day of guided recreation in the spectacular Sawtooth Mountains, you and your guests will return to the ranch for a soak in the on-site hot springs, then freshen up for cocktails and amuse-bouches on the lower lawn followed by dinner on the porch of IRMR’s main lodge.

Nestled amidst Idaho’s snow-capped Rocky Mountain peaks and the meandering Salmon River, Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch has flourished as a western ranch vacation retreat for 80 years. The living history of the Old West mingles with the solitude and peace of this 870-acre ranch, offering freedom, breathtaking natural beauty, and a relaxed atmosphere.

• A multicourse dinner with Blue Farm Wines at Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch

The brainchild and passion project of winemaker Anne Moller-Racke and vintner Timothy Mott, Blue Farm Wines was launched in 2007 on Moller-Racke’s home vineyard. Known for its rigorous farming practices, meticulous care for growing grapes, and a deep connection to the land, Blue Farm Wines began as a seven-acre vineyard divided into four blocks to create one complete wine. Today, it includes Grand Cru-style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from five vineyards and five AVAs within Sonoma County. OPENING

Founded by Bill Price III and Prema Kerollis Behan, Three Sticks is committed to producing world-class wines from their exceptional collection of vineyards in Sonoma County, mostly notably Durell, Gap’s Crown, and Walala Vineyards. To the winery’s Director of Winemaking, Ryan Prichard, recipient of the 2020 Rising Star: Winemaker of the Year award, making wine is an endeavor in balancing contrasts: “You must be precise yet flexible; organic yet by design; create for immediate gratification yet stand the test of time.” With its heartfelt approach to viticulture and winemaking, Three Sticks believes in table fellowship and the soulful power of wine to bring people together.

Walla Walla: AN INSIDER’S ART & WINE EXPERIENCE

Experience a rare opportunity to see how contemporary art is really made.

Walla Walla-based sculptor and painter Squire Broel has arranged for you to enjoy a private visit to Walla Walla Foundry, where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes view of one of the world’s preeminent art production facilities. The Foundry has produced some of the largest and most complex contemporary bronze sculptures in the world, including works by artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Maya Lin, Urs Fischer, Deborah Butterfield, Jim Dine, and your very own artist-host, Squire Broel.

This guided tour will walk you through the casting process start to finish and will include some sneak peeks at current projects. Following your visit to the Foundry, you’ll visit Squire Broel’s loft studio in historic downtown Walla Walla where you’ll enjoy lunch paired with a selection of wines provided by Woodward Canyon Winery, where Rick and Darcey Small have been crafting premium world-class wines since 1981. A painting by Squire Broel adorns their 2000 Artist Series #9.

The following day, you and your guests will enjoy a very special wine tasting lunch alongside winemaker extraordinaire Todd Alexander and his wife, Carrie. One of a select few 100-point winemakers in Washington State, Alexander serves as winemaker of Force Majeure, BEATUS, Weathereye, and Holocene Wines. His passion lies in crafting terroir-driven wines that showcase the unique characteristics of specific sites through uncompromising, meticulous work in both the vineyard and winery.
