It gives me great pleasure to welcome my fellow vintners, chefs and patrons to this year’s 10th Annual Destin Charity Wine Auction. A marvelous event like this one succeeds through the hard work and dedication of many. I am thrilled to represent my family as this year’s Honorary Vintner and hope 2015 serves as the most successful auction yet.

Providing for those less fortunate in our community is of great importance to Joseph Phelps Vineyards. My father’s lifelong commitment to philanthropy has helped guide our winery’s endeavors for over forty years. I encourage you to bid high and bid often knowing your generosity will make a profound impact in a child’s life.

I look forward to raising a glass with you in Destin! Sincerely,

BILL PHELPSPRESIDENTJOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS

Each year our foundation reviews those vintners that have been instrumental in our success since our inception. We aim to identify an organization that has helped define and support our mission of connecting wine enthusiasts to help children in need in Northwest Florida. We recognize that support by bestowing the title of Honorary Vintner at the upcoming auction.

For our 10th Anniversary, we have implemented a new tradition. We want to recognize and thank our International Vintners that have supported us. This year is the first year we will recognize an International Honorary Vintner. It is our pleasure to announce Chateau de Beaucastel as the 2015 International Honorary Vintner for our 10th Annual Auction. We are grateful for the support of the Perrin family.

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 Depart-ment. 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 Amer-ican 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.

Today Ursula continues her fine and rare wine auction association with Wal-ly’s Wine Auctions in a role of Principal Auctioneer. Additionally, Ursula is the author of The Wine Lovers Guide to Auctions, the definitive manual on buying and selling wine at auction.

Born in 1954, he is a graduate of Colorado College and the University of California’s Hastings College of Law.

For more than a century Familie Perrin has trailblazed the wine industry to become the largest owner of vineyards in the best terroirs of the France’s Southern Rhône Valley.

Marc Perrin, the son of Jean-Pierre Perrin, was born April 25, 1970. He has been involved in the assemblage and winemaking at Beaucastel since 1988, and joined the family company full time in 2002. Marc, along with eight brothers and cousins — are the fifth generation to lead Familie Perrin. Marc is now the general manager, and travels around the world marketing the wines of the Perrin family. His grandfather Jacques Perrin, was a gifted winemaker who brought world renown to the family domaine by being one of the first winemakers to try various innovative techniques in his cellar and early organic practices in his vineyards. Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, Perrin is following his own intuition and creating trends rather than following them.

Forty-four-year-old Perrin, whose memories of riding a tractor through the vineyards date back as far as he can recall, considers everyone in his family a proud wine craftsman.

Merry Edwards approaches life with graceful intensity. When sampling grapes in the vineyard, hand pruning her cherished roses, preparing dinner for her family, practicing Bikram yoga — in whatever she does, Merry balances intellect with intuition. Each wine she makes benefits from her precision and perception of subtlety and elegance.

Now in the fifth decade of her winemaking career, Merry has earned the universal respect of winemaking peers, grape growers and academicians. A self-described perfectionist, she has constantly refined her vineyard practices, wines and techniques. Merry does not rest on her laurels - she grows. “People frequently ask what is the best wine I have ever made. I tell them it’s not made yet!”

In many ways, Merry Edwards is like her wines — complex, balanced and memorable. An intricate blend of artistic vision, scientific training, spirit and grace, she leaves a lasting impression.

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. “I was studying forestry management because I wanted to cultivate a relationship with nature, but my growing love of Pinot made me realize I didn’t want to make paper, I wanted to make wine.” In 2000, Michael transferred to Cal Poly to study enology and viticulture.

In 2012, Michael became the handpicked successor to renowned Goldeneye winemaker Zach Rasmuson. “I’m in the fantastic position of being able to learn from Zach, while continuing his work.” 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. To achieve this goal, Michael ferments over 200 individual lots of Pinot Noir each vintage, or roughly one fermentation for every acre farmed. 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.”

Kristina Dunn Buchanan grew up on Howell Mountain, running around the vineyard and winery with her older sister and brother. By age 10 she was tying vines in the vineyard and helping her parents during harvest.

In 2005 Kristina graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a BS in Wine & Viticulture. While there, she had been part of the Vines to Wines group and worked in the tasting room at Domaine Alfred. After graduating she returned to the Napa Valley and worked in the tasting room of Cardinale Winery in Oakville before coming to work full time at Dunn Vineyards in 2007.

Kristina is the Director of Marketing at Dunn Vineyards, although she finds that her responsibilities at the winery vary. She and older brother Mike (Dunn Vineyard’s Cellar Master) joke that when you work for a family winery you never really stick to your job titles. Kristina enjoys working in different areas of the market, participating in wine events, and working with reps around the country. She also finds that harvest is one of her favorite times to put the travel on hold and work alongside her brother and father on the crush pad.

Kristina and her husband, Brian Buchanan, live a quarter mile down the road from the winery, just outside the town of Angwin on Howell Mountain. Brian is a firefighter for the city of Santa Rosa, CA.

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.

Assisting with the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon harvest was an auspicious beginning to Jenifer’s tenure at Paul Hobbs.

She joined the small team and quickly learned that Paul’s all-hands approach allowed her to participate in many aspects of winery life. Since then, Jenifer has seen the company through the establishment of its own winery and estate vineyards, along with the coalescing of a truly top notch team to fulfill Paul’s vision.

Jenifer’s move to the winery followed organically from a life working with food and wine, studying language and business and composing and performing music. After years of mentoring from top sommeliers in her hometown of Los Angeles, she decided to seek a position with Paul Hobbs, whose wines she had championed over the years. Today, Jenifer oversees Sales, Marketing, Public Relations and Hospitality.

The dedication to excellence and collaborative spirit with which Paul established the winery persist today, making it as dynamic a working environment as it was the day she started.

Andrew Schweiger spent his early years in Sonoma County, California. He attended Montgomery High School in Santa Rosa where he was an accomplished musician, often performing with the Santa Rosa Symphony, Sonoma County Junior Symphony and numerous other musical groups.

In 1988, Andrew started his formal training in winemaking at the University of California, Davis. While keeping a full schedule at school, he expanded his winemaking bag of tricks by working at various wineries, including Joseph Phelps and Trefethen Vineyards. Upon graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Fermentation Science and a minor in Viticulture, Schweiger set right to work at Chateau St. Jean, and a few years later at Cain Cellars.

When the time came in 1994 for Schweiger Vineyards to begin wine production, Andrew was able to balance his work load and oversee all the winemaking operations at Schweiger in addition to his full time obligations. Finally, the big step forward came in 1999, when Schweiger Vineyards chose to stop selling fruit to other wineries, and Andrew took the leap to Schweiger Vineyards full time.

Andrew resides in St. Helena with his wife Paula and two children, Jerry and Megan.

Chris and Pauline Tilley founded V Madrone Cellars in St. Helena, California at the site of a preprohibition winery (also known as a “ghost” winery) whose foundation was originally laid in 1887 and then shuttered before the onset of Prohibition in 1920. Though continuing a long-term restoration of the buildings on the V Madrone campus, the Tilleys opened a tasting room after the completion of the first phase in December 2008.

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 home to several prestigious vineyards and wineries. V Madrone produces 1,200-1,400 cases of wine per year, half of which is Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.

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!

William P. (Bill) Foley II’s passion for great wine inspired him to launch Lincourt Vineyards in 1996. Back then the Sta. Rita Hills region of Santa Barbara County was largely unknown to wine lovers. Today, it is one of the most coveted AVAs for cool-climate grape varieties in the country and Lincourt is one of its most important producers.

From there, Bill founded Foley Estates Vineyard and Winery, also in the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Soon after, he acquired Las Hermanas Vineyard - formerly known as Ashley’s Vineyard - providing a source for high- quality fruit. Since then, Foley Estates has garnered a reputation as a top premier producer of luxury-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Under Bill’s leadership, FNF was selected in 2004 by Forbes as one of the 26 Best Managed Companies in the U.S. The company has repeatedly been named to Fortune’s list of America’s Most Admired Companies, Forbes’ list of America’s Best Big Companies and selected for Barron’s list of Best Companies for Investors.

Bill received his B.S. degree in Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point. He received an M.B.A. degree from Seattle University and earned his J.D. degree in 1974 from The University of Washington School of Law. Bill served in the U.S. Air Force, where he attained the rank of Captain.

Today, Bill and his wife Carol live in Northern California. An avid golfer, Bill was named as one of Golf Digest’s Top 20 Executive Golfers in the World, 2006.

Jean-Charles Boisset was born into the world of wine in the village of Vougeot, Burgundy, France. His lifelong passion for wine began as a child, growing up above the cellars and within view of the centuries-old vineyards of Château du Clos Vougeot, the epicenter and birthplace of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. His parents, Jean-Claude and Claudine, founded the family winery in 1961 with an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit in one of the most traditional winegrowing regions in the world. Today, the family collection includes wineries that share more than 18 centuries of combined winemaking heritage and tradition in some of the world’s most prestigious terroirs, from Burgundy to the South of France, to California’s Napa Valley and Russian River Valley.

Jean-Charles leads the family firm with passionate commitment to fine wine, history, quality and a deep respect for the environment. He implemented organic and biodynamic farming at all of the family’s estate vineyards in Burgundy and California. Together with his sister Nathalie, he created Domaine de la Vougeraie, uniting the family’s Burgundy vineyards, including prestigious monopoles such as the Vougeot 1er Cru Clos Blanc de Vougeot – planted in 1110 by the Cistercian monks, into one of Burgundy’s leading domaines. He instituted the concept of “viniculteur”, redefining the company’s traditional role to encompass a close and active interest in all aspects of winegrowing to ensure premium quality and sustainable farming practices. He refashioned and elevated the family’s founding winery bearing his father’s name – Jean-Claude Boisset – into a premier boutique vigneron in the Cotes de Nuits.

Spending the majority of his wine career as a sommelier, Dallas began in college at Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse. After graduating, he pursued his post graduate studies with the Court of Master Sommeliers in Santa Barbara’s yet undiscovered wine country. He worked for James Beard award winning chef Suzanne Goin to open Hungry Cat while managing multiple restaurant wine lists throughout the Central Coast. Northern California lured Dallas back with an offer from The French Laundry, during which time he worked with Master Sommeliers Paul Roberts, Dennis Kelly and Sur Lucero. The desire to build from the ground up prevailed when Dallas left The French Laundry to lead Chef Morimoto’s Napa team to establish the most successful Morimoto to date.

After many long years of service – working nights, weekends and holidays – Dallas accepted a sales management position with Neat Wines, a Napa focused wine distributor in New Orleans. The restaurant industry never leaves the blood of the service stricken and Dallas moonlighted on weekends at restaurant Stella! It was there his life forever changed after meeting the illustrious Dana and Glenn of the Armentor fame.

After four years of bringing classic, cult and cutting edge wines to Louisiana, Dallas once again returned to Napa as the Director of Sales and Sommelier for Larkmead Vineyards. Larkmead Vineyards is a wine estate of immense history with a rich heritage of wine growing that dates back to 1895.

Jake’s first role at Arkenstone was as a teenager, pulling rocks and planting vines in the steep vineyards on his family’s Howell Mountain Estate. Exposed to viticulture and viniculture from that young age, he has since honed his palate and knowledge of wine from around the world. Today Jake is responsible for Arkenstone’s distribution markets, and enjoys traveling the country to share his family’s wines.

Before re-joining Arkenstone’s team in an official capacity, Jake’s first career was in the music industry, where he spent several years performing, producing and recording. Inspired by his love of wine, he decided to return to Napa Valley and join the family business in 2010. After passing the Court of Master Sommeliers’ Certified Sommelier exam, he spent a year as part of the vinification team, participating in every aspect of wine production from grape to bottle. He worked his first full harvest with winemaker Sam Kaplan in the fall of 2010. In the years since, he has taken on all brand ambassador responsibilities for the winery and transitioned into his current role as Estate Director.

As a small, family-owned winery, everyone at Arkenstone wears many hats, and you are just as likely to find Jake in the vineyard tasting grapes, hosting guests at the Estate, or on a visit across the country sharing Arkenstone’s unique wines.

Located in Saint Helena, Macauley Vineyard is owned by Mac and Amy Watson. Mac’s mother started Macauley and built her winery in the 1980’s. Located in Saint Helena, the wines were overseen by winemaker Ric Forman. A few years later, Mac’s mother passed away and the winery was sold, yet from a young age Mac began to develop an interest in wine and collecting. As an adult, wine became his passion, and he resurrected Macauley Vineyard in 2001. Amy Watson is a native of Saint Helena who was raised in a winemaking family.

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.

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.

Rachel came to Napa Valley 13 years ago from her family home in the farm country of Lancaster, PA, looking for that connection to wine and especially to vineyards which has drawn folks to Napa Valley for decades.

With her characteristic passion and verve, she immediately began studying viticulture at Napa Community College. In 2003, Rachel joined Robert Craig to manage our tasting room, which had just opened in downtown Napa, and to jump-start our fledgling wine club. She nurtured the Cabernet Club, gaining a host of friendships along the way. Today the Club is the linchpin of our relationships with Cabernet Sauvignon fans across the country.

The needs and wishes of Club members come first with Rachel, and her personal touch is always a highlight of our Club activities and events at the winery and across the country. In what little spare time she has, Rachel manages a small vineyard, doing the pruning and other chores herself to keep up that all-important connection with the land.

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.

SPIRITO


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.

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.

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.

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.

Tor Kenward spent 27 years as a senior executive with Beringer Vineyards working in winemaking and marketing, helping to build a wine company known to collectors worldwide for its outstanding Reserve and single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. He retired in 2001, and along with his wife Susan, started TOR Kenward Family Wines, a small wine company based on single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons and Chardonnays.

“For three decades I made a least one barrel of wine of each vintage from Beringer’s best vineyard sites,” recalls Tor Kenward. “I had great mentors, Ed Sbragia and Bob Steinhauer, encouraging me to make wine and grow grapes. We had different approaches, but shared the same passion: great wine, and how to make it. We tasted together, traveled together to Europe to learn more, and shared the secrets we unearthed along the journey. We farm these special vineyard sites by acre-by-acre -- meaning we work together to achieve the best possible grapes regardless of cost.”

Our winemaking is driven by the same philosophy: constantly striving for the best, whatever it takes. Tor works exclusively with small cooperage houses in France to ensure we have the best barrels, and uses natural yeasts for both primary and secondary fermentations. Grapes are hand sorted, and our wines are crafted in very small cuvees so as to receive minimal handling. “If we harvest what we consider world-class grapes, our job as winemakers is to stay out of the way. That takes experience and patience, but can be very rewarding when it all comes together.”

What sets Chef Matt Baker apart from others in his field is his consistent passion for cuisine and all things local. His obsession with food started early. During holidays in Houston, Texas, he assisted with preparing cookies and pies with his grandmother, which led to an enthusiastic enrollment at Johnson & Wales University in Miami, Florida.

After spending time in the kitchens and wine rooms of South Beach, he fulfilled his urge to travel and in 2009, landed the opening Executive Chef position at Krish in Singapore. It was at Krish that Chef Matt began making a name for himself, being named by Time “The Country’s Hottest Chef ” and by Timeout Singapore as “Singapore’s newest splurge worthy restaurant.”

With a short stint at Minibar by José Andrés, Chef Matt settled in with Robert Wiedmaier at Brasserie Beck where he was the Executive Sous Chef in the fall of 2011. The summer of 2012 brought him to The Occidental Grill & Seafood as the Chef de Cuisine. With him, he brought a reenergized menu, where he utilized the freshest ingredients 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.

Today, he is thrilled to bring a new culinary experience to Bethesda with City Perch Kitchen + Bar, serving up comfort food with a contemporary twist. This young Chef ’s talent will only continue to grow in Washington D.C. as his fervor for inspired flavor and dining experience develops.

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.

From 1991 to 2005, he launched the culinary program at Far Niente Winery and was responsible for private, special, corporate and fundraiser events.

I’m passionate about food...and wine too! Afer having spent 12 years in the kitchens of the biggest Chefs such as Michel

Rostang, Pierre Gagnaire, Raymond Blanc and Alain Senderens at Lucas Carton in Paris, I joined the PERRIN family at Chateau de Beaucastel to cook for the wines.

My mission is to reflect, adjust and prepare a match for each wine and each vintage taking into account the characteristics of the “terroir” where the wine comes from. Inspired by local, Provencal and Mediterranean cuisines, the match is the result of research on the cultural setting of our region and will place the wine back to its origins.

A cuisine that we call a “produce” cuisine. The role of each produce is to reveal the wine and bring out the best of it. As a “key”...

David grew up in the culinary world, filling the gaps wherever needed in his mother’s restaurant and catering business. After earning a degree in marketing from The University of West Florida, David nine-to-fived it for a few years in sales and marketing with a wine and beer distributor.

Chef Jack McGuckin found his love for food at an early age, growing up in the sportsman’s paradise of southern Louisiana. With a youth spent hunting and fishing in the woods and waterways of the Gulf south came a respect for the ingredients that he carries over into his cooking today. Jack began his career at age 15 in the fabled Bechac’s restaurant on New Orleans’ northshore. Through high school and college, Jack continued his training under the tutelage of restaurateurs Mike and Gayle Pair, eventually coming to Florida in 2002 to open up Bijoux.

With a focus on fresh, local ingredients, Jack says his favorite way to prepare them is simply. “We try to take a few local ingredients from the garden, whatever’s in season at the time, and prepare them simply, to allow the natural beauty and flavors of the ingredients to be the showcase.” He enjoys working with the many talented cooks and chefs in the area and sees the Emerald Coast becoming a leader in the slow foods movement. “I see many chefs around town, really striving to use local, all natural and sustainable ingredients in their menus. I think it’s a great sign that the Gulf coast is coming to the forefront of this movement. I got into cooking originally because I like to make people happy, and when I see the smiling faces and clean plates of our customers, I know that they are eating well and it truly makes me happy.”

Scotty Schwartz, Executive Chef and Owner, became interested in cooking at a young age by helping his mother in the kitchen. He entered the University of Georgia intending to focus on psychology and Spanish literature but soon realized that, for him, cooking was more than a hobby. His change of career plans led him to the School of Culinary Arts in Atlanta, where he graduated valedictorian. As a student, he apprenticed at Carbos Café, one of Atlanta’s oldest fine dining establishments, and it was there that he gained an appreciation for the finer side of the culinary arts. “I became passionate about food and this passion has provided the drive that has led me to success,” Schwartz says.

Throughout his career, Schwartz has earned several culinary awards and is a member of the prestigious Les Toques Blanches. He was twice awarded Folio Magazine “Best Chef Jacksonville” for 2007 and 2008. The previous year Folio Magazine awarded 29 South “Best New Restaurant Jacksonville”. In 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 Florida Trend Magazine awarded 29 South the coveted “Golden Spoon”. Chef Schwartz served on the International Advisory Board for the Florida WineFest as Culinary Chairman. He is also a Co-founder of the Legend Series.

His philosophy about cooking is to “baby” everything. Schwartz says “When it comes to food, everything you smell, touch, or do has to be handled carefully because one act of carelessness can destroy the final product.”

FOLEY FAMILY WINES 9Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation is honored to introduce Foley

Family Estates Vineyard and Winery to our auction patrons in 2015. Vintner, William P. (Bill) Foley II, established the Foley Wine Group in 1996, with the acquisition of Lincourt Vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley appellation of Santa Barbara County. Lincourt Vineyards quickly established itself as a viable, dynamic brand.

From there, Bill founded Foley Estates Vineyard and Winery, a premiere Pinot Noir and Chardonnay house located in the Sta. Rita Hills appellation of Santa Barbara County. Highly regarded by leading wine critics and sommeliers, this Burgundian-influenced portfolio has become a flagship property in the South Central Coast.

Merus, in the Napa Valley, is Bill’s nod to his love of benchmark California Cabernet Sauvignons of merit and elegance. Considered by many to be one of the most coveted “cult Cabernets” in the United States, Merus has added breadth and depth to the FWG portfolio.

Foley Family Wines also includes Firestone Vineyard, which Bill acquired in 2007. Long considered a destination for visitors to Santa Barbara County’s wine country, Firestone produces an array of Bordeaux-influenced wines in competitively-priced categories.

By adding Three Rivers Winery to Foley Family Wines, Bill has now expanded his thoughtfully composed wine portfolio into the Pacific Northwest. Located in

Walla Walla, Washington, Three Rivers Winery is recognized for producing Rieslings and Bordeaux-influenced wines.

In addition to the Santa Barba-ra area properties, Bill purchased Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery in Sonoma in December 2008. Under the guidance of Bill, Sebastiani Vine-yards advances its record of acclaim and maintains its commitment to producing singular wines from the appellations of Sonoma County.

During the spring of 2009, Bill once again expanded his holdings with the majority purchase of Kuleto Estate, located in the eastern mountains of the Napa Valley. By partnering with Pat Kuleto, a famed restaurateur, Bill strives to produce truly singular estate wines from Napa Valley.

This wonderful auction lot is the perfect way to become fully immersed in the culture and lifestyle of Foley Family of wines. Two lucky couples will spend two nights at the Healds-burg Hotel Les Mar, a member of Relais & Châteaux, an exclusive col-lection of 500 of the finest charming hotels and gourmet restaurants in 60 countries. Hotel Les Mars offers a confluence of old world luxury and 21st-century technology: wireless internet in a library of hand-carved walnut panels and leather-bound books, home entertainment housed within a Louis XV armoire, and draped four-poster beds made up with sumptuous Italian linens.

The winery has arranged tours and tastings at Sonoma wineries Lan-caster Estate and Roth Estate and a tour, tasting and lunch at Chalk Hill. Dinner that evening is at Chalkboard restaurant. Located just off the square in downtown Healdsburg, Chalkboard is casual and contemporary, and a celebration of the best ingredients Sonoma has to offer.

Day two offers a great opportunity to enjoy Napa grown Foley wines with tours and tastings at Foley Johnson and Merus and a tour, tasting and lunch at Kuleto.

Finally, each couple will receive a mixed case of two bottles of wine from each of the wineries visited. Welcome to the wonderful world of Foley Fam-ily Wines!

Down the path is the Tsitouras Collection Villa, for the ultimate private holiday, with a private pool and a capacity of six persons. Built in 2001, the TC Villa is the last word in luxurious comfort and equipment, in harmonious co-existence with unique art objects dating to the 16th century.

SAILING THE BVI’S 15THIS LOT BENEFITS: Horizons of Okaloosa County

Welcome aboard Victoria, your ultimate luxury destination! Whether you want to relax in the sun with a book and a pina colada or explore the heights and depths of the Caribbean, the Victoria takes pride in making your vacation one you will remember forever.

Captain Wayne and Barbara Elsworth have been chartering in these islands for over 30 years and love showing their guests their playground. If you ask Barbara or Wayne Elsworth what their earliest memory is, it would certainly involve boat-ing. They both grew up on the shores of the Hudson River, only 150 miles apart. Coincidentally, their families summered at the same Adirondack Lake, just on opposite shores! It seemed inevitable that one day they would meet, ironic that it would be on a Caribbean island, 2,000 miles south of their native New York. Classical French cuisine was the daily fare as Barbara grew up and she draws on that training to develop a lighter French and Italian inspired style. That love of cooking has been enhanced by many courses at the Peter Kemp’s Culinary Institute. Naturally, she specializes in seafood, using only the freshest of ingredi-ents, which Wayne provides. If desserts make your day, watch out! Barbara has a sweet tooth and can be counted on to go overboard!

Climb on board the Victoria, a 56 ft Fountaine Pajot Marquise, and live the dream!

“THE KEY TO MAKING GOOD WINE IS TO PAY ATTENTION” -PAUL HOBBS

As the owner and winemaker of Paul Hobbs Winery, Paul knows that the essence of profound wines can be traced back to meticulous care and expertise in the vineyard.

Growing up on a working farm in upstate New York, Paul experienced first-hand the influence of terroir on the character of fruit, when his father had him taste apples of the same variety grown in different orchards several miles apart from one another. The diversity of flavors and textures made an impression on him and would later influence his approach to winemaking.

As a winemaker, Paul is highly regarded for his ability to identify exceptional vineyards along with his pioneering, innovative work with new and historical sites and regions. His success has inspired a wealth of nicknames among the press, from quiet trendsetter to prospector to truffle-hunting dog. First hired by Robert Mondavi for his expertise in oak aging, he then joined the Opus One team before moving on to Simi Winery.

He founded Paul Hobbs Winery in 1991 and Vina 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.

Regarded as the “Steve Jobs of Wine” by Forbes Magazine, Paul Hobbs is presenting an incredibly generous vintage collection of his best wines.

THIS LOT INCLUDES:

• 3L and 6 Bottles of 2012 Paul Hobbs Cabernet Sauvignon, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard, St. Helena, Napa Valley (RP 98)

ART OF TRANSFORMATION 33Justin Gaffrey was a chef and restaurant owner before he evolved into an

artist. From that professional experience, he learned the creative process behind making a meal not only taste as good as possible, but also look appealing. There is artistry in presenting food a certain way—the colors, the texture, the plating. That’s something Justin brought with him into the next stage of his personal evo-lution, and many of his first paintings even involved food, such as one painting of skeletons dancing around a fire cooking fish, or another of a bundle of ingredi-ents on a cutting board.

Justin’s artistic evolution has been through many stages since he started paint-ing in 2001. Working with materials ranging from acrylic paint, wood, welded steel, recycled materials (including but not limited to clocks and bicycles), and more, he has explored various techniques of creating art, which he believes is an important lesson for any artist. When you keep doing the same things over and over, you don’t grow, your work doesn’t grow, and you stop getting the same level of fulfillment out of creating something. That is why Justin strives to keep evolv-ing himself and his work, and he is excited to see where it’s going next.

Meditation has been an important tool in figuring out which step to take or what Justin will create next. Some of his recent Exhibition Collection pieces, such as Namaste, focus on that process of meditating to see what’s inside yourself

and what you truly are, instead of always thinking you are the person other people see. Like a butterfly, you can change their perception of you and become something different, but you’ll always be your truest self on the inside. Justin’s art is about finding a balance between what’s on the inside and how to display it on the outside. He hopes to use his creations to continue sharing with others what he is thinking or feeling, or new discoveries he makes.

You can follow Justin’s artistic journey, both past and present, by viewing the galleries on justingaffrey.com and in person at his studio–gallery in Blue Moun-tain Beach, Florida.

THIS LOT INCLUDES:• Justin Gaffrey Original Created

LIVE at the 10th Annual Destin Charity Wine Auction Reserve Tasting: Justin 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!

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 Napolean 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.

THIS LOT BENEFITS:AMI Kids Emerald Coast

Peyton Manning is an American football quarterback for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League (NFL). A five-time league MVP, he played for the Indianapolis Colts for 14 seasons between 1998-2011. He is a son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and an elder brother of New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.

Manning played college football for the University of Tennessee, lead-ing the Volunteers to the 1997 SEC Championship in his senior season. He was chosen by the Indianapolis Colts with the first overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft. Manning’s playing career and statistics have ranked him among the greatest quarterbacks of all-time. From 1998 to 2010, he led the Colts to eight (seven AFC South and one AFC East) division champi-onships, two AFC championships, and one Super Bowl championship (Super Bowl XLI). His five NFL MVPs are a league record, he was the most

valuable player of Super Bowl XLI, has been named to 14 Pro Bowls, has thirteen 4,000-yard passing seasons, and is the Indianapolis Colts’ all-time leader in passing yards (54,828) and touchdown passes (399). In 2009, he was named the best player in the NFL, and Fox Sports, along with Sports Illustrated, named him the NFL player of the decade for the 2000s. Before the 2013 season had even finished, Sports Illustrated had named him their Sportsman of the Year.

Manning’s pre-snap routine has earned him the nickname “The Sher-iff ”, and he is one of the most recog-nizable and parodied players in the NFL. Teams led by Manning more of-ten than not use the hurry-up offense in place of the standard huddle.

To produce the estate’s flagship wine, three quarters of the 38-acre Eisele Vineyard is dedicated to Cab-ernet Sauvignon and its companion varieties, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot. The resulting wine is an intense expression of the Eisele Vine-yard proprietary clone and terroir, exhibiting characteristic flavors of cassis, blackberry, cedar and choco-late, with a lingering mineral finish. Cabernets from the Eisele Vineyard are highly regarded for their complex-ity, concentration, weight without heaviness, silky texture and ability to age for decades.

The aromas of this wine exhibit profound notes of fresh loam, dusty cocoa powder and crushed rock. In the mouth, spicy black licorice, dried laurel and delicate violet nuances balance the ripe, juicy, briary black

fruit components. On the palate, it is seamless, complete from start to finish, showing the luxurious velvety tannins that are the signature of Eisele Vine-yard and ending with a long graphite note. Notes winemaker Matt Taylor: This wine is expressive of earth, choc-olate, mineral and dark fruit notes, yet the superb silky tannins that persist through the extended finish, and the acidity that preserves freshness, combine to create a balanced, youthful and rich wine with years of ageing potential.

Silent 222 Caymus CollectionCaymus Vineyards produces two

Cabernets Sauvignons – a “Napa Valley” and the venerable “Special Se-lection”. Both Cabernet bottlings have aromas and flavors which can only be achieved through “hang time” – a technique which chances the loss of crop if early winter sets in. Leaving the fruit to “hang” on the vine unusually long develops suppleness, increases color, and matures the tannins of the grapes. The wines are abundant in textural tannins yet soft as velvet. Crop thinning, allowing measured sunlight to reach the vine’s fruit zone, and wait-ing for increased ripeness are all part of our viticultural practices. Caymus Cabernets offer a wide array of aromas and flavors including cocoa, cassis and vanilla.

Caymus Special Selection is the flagship wine of the Wagner family and is comprised of the very best barrels of the vintage. This wine is not produced in difficult years. Caymus Napa Valley

is more representative of a standard Cabernet of Napa Valley, as it is a bit less precocious than the Special Se-lection, but still delivers big. Caymus prides itself on producing wines that are as approachable in youth as well at maturity. Both the “Napa Valley” and “Special Selection” Cabernets are produced under the winemaking hand of Chuck Wagner.

Silent 228 DELECTUS PETITE SIRAH 3LThe vines in this amazing vineyard

were planted in 1911 high up on Spring Mountain, west of St. Helena. We were offered three separate blocks in May 2000, and that first vintage cat-apulted itself to become the top rated Petite Sirah in Wine Spectator (2003). Since them our increasing knowledge of this vineyard has produced more refined and complex wines that have turned heads and won hearts.

The nose has good weight. Thick and chewy like a plum reduction. The nose is perfumy and earthy with hints

of saw dust, oak and horseradish root. Eventually evolving into a meaty jerky, it’s a noseful! This intense, massive and chewy wine should come with a warning label!

Silent 231 DOMAINE TEMPIER BRANDOLThis wine is made from grapes

grown on a terroir near the village of Le Castellet. The vineyard sits high up on the hillside, on average 170m above sea level, and has relatively homogenous soil comprised of chalk and clay on top of 100 million year old rock. The Mourvedre vines flourish on the terroir producing excellent wines that are powerful, tannic and fruity. La Tourtine compromises 70-80% Mourvedre depending on the year. Frequently windswept by the mistral, this vineyard is particularly well exposed, resulting is a wine with long ageing potential that retains its red berry and spice aromas even after 10 to 15 years.

The La Tourtine vineyard lies a the top of the hillside in Le Castellet where the vines grow on the arche-typal terroir of AOC Bandol wines:

250 million year old calcareous clay. In the height of the summer the soft clay becomes so dry that it retracts, creat-ing cracks in the earth wide enough to put your hand in. This may sound surprising, but it proves that the vines have quite deep roots, a particular characteristic of La Tourtine. The combination of frequent wind and plentiful sunshine to which our hilltop vineyard is exposed is prbably what makes the terroir one the finest in the Bandol area.

Silent 308 FAY MAGNUM VERTICALThe FAY vineyard is where the story

of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars began. Established by pioneering grape grower Nathan Fay in 1961, it was the first planting of Cabernet Sauvignon in what is now the Stags Leap District. At the time, conventional wisdom maintained that the area was too cold for Cabernet Sauvignon. But tasting Nathan Fay’s homemade Cabernet in 1969 was a defining moment for the founder of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Here was land capable of producing a wine that could rival the best in the world. Soon after, an adjoining ranch was purchased, now known as S.L.V..

And, in 1986, the winery purchased Nathan Fay’s vineyard and named it FAY in his honor.

Amuse Bouche wine aspires to rival its greatest cross-At-lantic counterparts, such as Chateau Petrus and Chateau Le Pin.

As winemaker for several of the hottest cult wines in California, and referred to by TIME magazine as “The Wine Diva of Napa”, Heidi Barrett is always looking for new challenges. Heidi explains, “We have created Amuse Bouche wine, a limited edition, superb Pomerol style wine with the added value of limited edition art that

is available to consumers through a variety of channels.”

Merging art with our wines was something of a philosophical decision. The former can be enjoyed indefinite-ly, enduring for many lifetimes. Wine collectors may revel in the subtleties of a vertical collection; but in the end, ‘fine wine is the only true art that must be destroyed in order to be fully appreciated.’ We strive to offer you the pleasures of both art forms.

Th e Children’s Neighborhood provides an emergency shelter for young children, and the group foster homes help with the severe shortage of foster homes in our community. Together, we can make a diff erence in the life of a child.

CIC Continues to Grow...In 2002, a group of Northwest Florida community leaders identifi ed a critical need for additional foster care facilities for abused and neglected children in the four-county area of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton Counties. Children in Crisis, Inc., a non-profi t 501(c)(3) charity, was established to raise and manage the funds to build, staff , and operate Th e Children’s Neighborhood, a residential style foster care neighborhood.

CHILDREN’S VOLUNTEER HEALTH NETWORKCVHNKIDS.ORG

Children’s Volunteer Health Network began in 2005, when one litt le boy’s crooked smile touched the heart of Tricia Carlisle-Northcutt . Tricia volunteered at an outreach program at her church, and every Tuesday, Tyler and his litt le brother were there “only for the cookies,” he would say. Tyler was disruptive, funny and had great leadership potential, but his jumbled mouth of teeth caused him emotional pain. He was called “Monster Mouth” and ridiculed by other children and, in turn, became a bully and show off . He was routinely suspended from school for fi ghting. Over a period of a few months, Tricia knew that Tyler needed to be helped or he would be a lost child. She also believed there were many more children like Tyler who could not aff ord dental or medical health care. Th rough a lot of prayer and research, the idea for Children’s Volunteer Health Network was born.

Volunteer doctors and dentists could donate their time, and volunteers would make sure the kids got to their appointments. In theory, it sounded great. Gett ing there was going to be a Herculean task. Tricia called 3 people in her church community and asked them to help form this faith based organization. All three of them said, “let’s do it!” Th e next step was convincing an orthodontist to see Tyler at no cost. With the fi rst phone call placed and Tyler’s story shared, Dr. Runnels said, “Yes!” Tyler would get his braces. From that day forward, there was no going back. And for Tyler it was life changing. His grades improved, he became manager of his wrestling team and he learned that there was an entire community that cared for him.

Most importantly, through counseling we try to give them back their childhood. Our counseling is at no cost to the families we serve. Our four full time licensed mental health therapists use cognitive behavior- trauma focused therapy methods to heal our families. Th ese methods established by Duke University have a 94% success rate. By taking a holistic approach to healing the family we are able to take care of the child victim and their non-off ending family members. By providing our kids with a positive therapy experience, they are more likely to continue with therapy into adulthood as needed.


FOOD FOR THOUGHTFOODFORTHOUGHTFL.ORG

At Food For Th ought, our mission is to enable children to focus on their development and education by removing the fear and insecurity that comes from not knowing if they will get enough to eat, and, in some cases, knowing that they will not.

Many children suff er from what the USDA offi cially refers to as “Food Insecurity”, which means they regularly go hungry because their families do not have enough money to buy food. Public schools receive government assistance to provide breakfast and lunch for these children on school days, but when school is out on the weekends, the children must fend for themselves, or they make do with one or two low-cost foods because their families cannot aff ord to provide balanced meals.

Th is is where we begin.By providing these children with a simple backpack fi lled with healthy,

easy-to-prepare food on these two days, we bridge the weekend gap. By providing fresh fruit, whole grains and protein we are supporting their physical development and empowering them to grow into productive students and healthy, happy children.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF WALTON COUNTYWALTONCOUNTYHABITAT.ORG

Habitat for Humanity of Walton County, Florida is a 501(c)(3) Christian non-profi t that builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of our partner families and the community. Our ministry provides housing opportunities through a helping hand approach and not a hand out. Each partner family commits 250 hours per adult of sweat equity to assist with construction of their home, improvement/education classes, and assisting with Habitat’s program activities. Th e partner family then purchases the completed home with an interest free loan based upon the cost of the completed home with payments calculated according to family income. Each partner family’s mortgage payments will, in turn, contribute to new homes for other families in the future.

In addition to partnering in the construction or renovation of decent housing, Habitat operates the Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Th e Habitat ReStore accepts donations of new and gently used building materials and household furnishings. Th e ReStore sells these goods at a fraction of their retail price and serves as a resource for our local families with its low cost furnishings, appliances, and building items. Our ReStore allows us to touch even more families and their children in our area.

Habitat is more than just about housing the needy. It’s an investment in our community’s future. Together we can make a diff erence to the lives of the children in the community in which we live and, with simple decent housing, change lives forever.

OPPORTUNITY INC.OKALOOSAWALTONHOMELESS.ORG

Opportunity, Inc. is dedicated to creating a community without homelessness, with children as our fi rst priority. Children who have experienced homelessness and great poverty are fi ve times more likely than their peers to become homeless in the future. We can save generations from trauma, fear, and failure if we can help a few children now.

Opportunity Place is an emergency shelter serving families, providing 90 days of rent-free living and intensive case management leading to self-suffi ciency. While parents are learning the tools necessary to gain and maintain employment, budget appropriately, and parent eff ectively, their children are given unique services to help them heal and fl ourish. Children’s Services are designed to assist children with academic outcomes, physical fi tness, emotional health and social stability, with the greatest emphasis on scholastics.

Perhaps the greatest benefi t to our children is the gift of imagination – imagining a future free from want, where they can see themselves as capable adults leading fulfi lling and productive lives. We use fi eld trips, mentors, artists and craft smen to open their eyes to careers as carpenters, scientists, teachers and health professionals. Aft er only three years, we have seen young men and women selected as “student of the year,” and off ered scholarships to higher education.

2. If the lot has been paid for, the buyer will receive a refund of the bid amount only.

Th e goods sold at this event have no evaluation beyond the amount of the fi nal bid. Th erefore, such credit or refund is the sole remedy which will be made for such losses.
