HONORARY VINTNER WELCOME 

Honorary Vintner Welcome 

International Honorary Vintner 

INTERNATIONAL HONORARY VINTNER WELCOME 

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 PHELPS 

PRESIDENT 

JOSEPH 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. Their belief in us has created a level of credibility that has 

ultimately led us to the success we celebrate today. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff of Destin Charity Wine Auction 

Foundation, we welcome Chateau de Beaucastel and the Perrin Family as our 

first Interenational Honorary Vintner.

DINNER HOSTS & RESERVE TASTING RESTAURANTS 

Ursula’s auction career started long ago at Christie’s Fine Art Auctioneers 

where her first area of specialty and expertise was in the Toy Soldier Department. 

Ursula came to wine via her skills as an auctioneer in the early 1990’s 

when Christie’s held wine auctions in Los Angeles and Chicago. She was the 

first woman ever to be invited to wield the gavel at the famous Napa Valley Wine 

Auction, and since then has presided over most of the country’s top benefit wine 

auctions. 

Ursula has been a featured speaker at various conferences such as the Aspen 

Food and Wine Festival, the International Pinot Noir Celebration, the American 

Institute of Wine and Food and has been a guest on general news shows 

including CNN’s Marketplace. In 2005, Vanity Fair Magazine included Ursula 

as one of the “definitions” in the inaugural “Wine Snob’s Dictionary”. She works 

with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse at his foundation’s annual fundraiser in New 

Orleans. 

Today Ursula continues her fine and rare wine auction association with Wally’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.

BILL PHELPS - JOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS 

MARC PERRIN - CHATEAU DE BEAUCASTEL 

Bill Phelps 

PRESIDENT - JOSEPH PHELPS VINEYARDS 

Marc Perrin 

GENERAL MANAGER - CHATEAU DE BEAUCASTEL 

Bill Phelps represents the second generation of Phelps family members in the 

wine business today. He is President of Joseph Phelps Vineyards, developing and 

implementing long-term strategic plans for the winery and vineyard operations 

in both Napa Valley and western Sonoma County. Bill played an instrumental 

role in moving Joseph Phelps Vineyards to an entirely estate grown wine 

producer and actively represents both wineries at a number of high profile wine 

festivals and fundraising events each year. 

Bill moved to the Napa Valley in 1998, after practicing law for twenty years, 

primarily in the investment banking industry. Born in 1954, he is a graduate of 

Colorado College and the University of California’s Hastings College of Law. 

Bill also works with his father, Joe Phelps, in a variety of business interests, and 

serves on the boards of the Land Trust of Napa County and the Community 

Foundation of the Napa Valley. Bill lives in St. Helena with his wife Andrea. They 

have two children, Allie and Will. 

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 - MERRY EDWARDS WINERY 

MICHAEL FAY - DUCKHORN WINE COMPANY 

Merry Edwards 

OWNER, WINEMAKER - MERRY EDWARDS WINERY 

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 Fay 

WINEMAKER - DUCKHORN WINE COMPANY 

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 - DUNN VINEYARDS 

TED HENRY - JARVIS ESTATE WINERY 

Kristina Dunn Buchanan 

DIRECTOR OF MARKETING - DUNN VINEYARDS 

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. 

Ted Henry 

WINE MAKER - JARVIS ESTATE WINERY 

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. 


JENIFER FREEBAIRN - PAUL HOBBS WINERY 

ANDREW SCHWEIGER - SCHWEIGER VINEYARDS 

Jenifer Freebairn 

VICE PRESIDENT OF SALES & MARKETING - PAUL HOBBS WINERY 

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 

OWNER - SCHWEIGER VINEYARDS 

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. 


MARY JOLI - WILLAMETTE VALLEY VINEYARDS 

Mary Joli 

REGIONAL BRANCH MANAGER - WILLAMETTE VALLEY VINEYARDS 

Christopher & Pauline Tilley 

OWNER/WINEMAKER - V MADRONE CELLARS 

CHRISTOPHER & PAULINE TILLEY - V MADRONECELLARS 

Mary Joli is the Regional Brand Manager with Willamette Valley Vineyards 

in Oregon’s verdant Willamette Valley. Mary brings with her a wealth of wine 

knowledge and experience from over 13 years in the Oregon wine industry. 

Having worked in wine shops specializing in Oregon Pinots, she then went on 

to several small wineries where she managed tasting rooms, wine clubs, special 

events and having a hand in harvest/production before landing at WVV working 

in distribution. 

It was during the early time in her career that she traveled extensively 

throughout Europe she first came across the elegant old world wines, tasting 

her way across Europe for 4 years she developed a palate and a passion for wine. 

After settling down and raising a family Mary returned to the work force to 

peruse her passion for wines, of traveling and meeting new people, working with 

Willamette Valley Vineyards as an ambassador to 13 states has afforded her the 

opportunity to to do so. 

As an avid hiker, kayaker and organic gardener Mary feels privileged to enjoy 

Oregon’s endless forests, snowy mountains, rugged coastline and, of course, its 

elegant wines! 

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!

BILL FOLEY - FOLEY FAMILY WINES 

JEAN-CHARLES BOISSET - BOISSET COLLECTION 

Bill Foley 

OWNER/WINE MAKER - FOLEY FAMILY WINES 


OWNER/WINEMAKER - BOISSET COLLECTION 

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. 


DALLAS BRENNAN - LARKMEAD VINEYARDS 

JAKE KRAUSZ - ARKENSTONE 

Dallas Brennan 

DIRECTOR OF SALES, SOMMELIER - LARKMEAD VINEYARDS 

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 Krausz 

CS ESTATE DIRECTOR - ARKENSTONE 

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.

MANAGING OWNER - BETZ FAMILY WINERY 

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

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

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 allimportant

SUSAN MCNERNEY - LE CHANCEUX 

PARTICK KRUTZ - KRUTZ FAMILY CELLARS 

TOR KENWARD - TOR KENWARD FAMILY WINES 

Susan McNerney 

OWNER/WINEMAKER - LE CHANCEUX 

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 

OWNER/WINEMAKER - TOR KENWARD FAMILY WINES 

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.”

MATTHEW BASFORD - CANOE 

Matthew Baker 

CITY PERCH KITCHEN + BAR 

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. 

Matthew Basford 

CANOE 

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.

RESTAURANT L’OUSTALET 

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”... 

Welcome to Provence!

Chef David Gwynn and his wife, baker extraordinaire Elizabeth, own and 

operate Cypress Restaurant in their hometown, Tallahassee, Florida. 

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. During that time he 

realized that food, wine and cooking were passions that can pay the bills. Faced 

with the question, “What’s the best way to get from a bush-league cook to a 

professional chef?” he decided to attend culinary school. David graduated from 

the prestigious Culinary Institute of America, during which time he apprenticed 

at regionally acclaimed Criolla’s in Grayton Beach. Two days after graduation, 

David began working through the ranks of nationally recognized Chef Dean 

Fearing’s kitchen at the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas.

Robert Harris 

THE TABLE 

Robert Harris’ passion for cooking began in his mother’s kitchen in 

Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where she taught him to prepare traditional Southern 

dishes using fresh produce from their neighbors’ farms. Robert honed his skills 

at the Culinary Institute of America and then at the Commander’s Palace in New 

Orleans. He later moved north with his family and settled in Cambridge, MA,

EVOO, and Casablanca. 

While serving as the East Coast Grill Catering Director, Robert found great 

satisfaction in preparing special-occasion meals to reflect each individual client’s 

taste. His dream to become the first and pre-eminent caterer in Boston that 

focuses on ingredient-driven, locally-sourced food led him to found Season to 

Taste Catering. Next came the world’s smallest restaurant, The Table, featuring 

one long farm table serving just one group at a time multi course plated dinners.

the age of nine. After high school Hutson left New Jersey to move to the sunny 

skies of Miami. In late 1994 Hutson met a new life partner, Delius Shirley. In 

November 1994 they opened “Norma’s on the Beach”. Norma’s was touted as 

“the best Caribbean restaurant in South Florida.” In 1996 they were awarded 

the coveted “5 Star Diamond Award” for the fabulous dining at Norma’s on the

Jack McGuckin 

BIJOUX 

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 - 29 SOUTH 

Cuban born Luis Pous has been at the helm of one of South Florida’s most 

sought after dining destinations, including The Dining Room at Little Palm 

Island, for the last five years. 

Starting this new year Chef Pous has accepted the role and recently took a new 

position as the executive concept chef for Asia de Cuba Restaurants Worldwide, 

with China Grill Management. 

In 2010 Pous was honored with an invitation to cook at the prestigious James 

Beard House in New York City where he brought his Latin flavor to the heart of 

New York. Dinner guests raved about the evening’s culinary delights, as well as 

Chef Luis and his team. 

Chef Pous began his formal culinary training at age 17 developing his 

technical skills at the Sergio Perez Government School of the Culinary Arts 

in Havana, Cuba. After moving to the States, Chef Pous has worked at many 

renowned restaurants and resorts including the Plaza Athénée Hotel in New 

York, Turnberry Isle Resort & Spa in Aventura, FL, Beau Rivage Resort &

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

out a style all his own, and his culinary charisma has culled attention from 

adoring diners and critics alike. Now an expatriated Atlantan, Scott has become 

an irreplaceable part of the city’s culinary scene with his first restaurant venture, 

Serpas True Food, known for its “true food” approach to cuisine with an edge. 

The restaurant has received local and national acclaim since its January 2009 

debut and was named one of the 10 “Best New Restaurants in America” in 2009 

by GQ Magazine. 

Scott began cooking at an early age at home and attended Delgado’s Culinary 

Institute in New Orleans. He moved to Dallas after graduating and worked under 

executive chef Kevin Rathbun at the popular Baby Routh’s. After four years in 

Dallas, Rathbun asked Serpas to move to Atlanta to become sous chef at Nava, 

an Atlanta restaurant that specializes in upscale Southwestern cuisine. After 

a stint in New Orleans and then opening Mitra in Atlanta in 2003, Scott went 

on to serve as executive chef at Atlanta’s popular TWO Urban Licks, where he 

created a wood-fired menu. During his tenure at TWO, the restaurant received 

numerous accolades from Food & Wine, Gourmet, O The Oprah Magazine, 

Men’s Health, InStyle, Conde Nast Traveler, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution 

and Wine Spectator. 

Scott and his wife, Dawn, now consider Atlanta their permanent home. 

Chef Dan Vargo joined the Seagar’s Prime Steak and Seafood culinary team 

in April 2012. Vargo, a native of Maryland, was introduced to the culinary world 

in Destin where he made the decision to pursue his passion for food. Vargo has 

been in the culinary industry for the last 13 years, during which time he traveled 

the world in search of his culinary style, aptly shaped by his journey. Vargo 

brings Baltimore’s traditional and historical influences, Martha’s Vineyard’s 

emphasis on organic produce and seasonal seafood, and the Ritz-Carlton’s 

world-class standards for fine dining and excellence in service to the Seagar’s 

experience. 

Prior to Seagar’s, Vargo collectively dedicated eight years to the Ritz-Carlton 

in Naples, Fla. with titles including Executive Sous Chef and Restaurant Chef. 

He also spent two years as Executive Sous Chef at The Boathouse Club in 

Martha’s Vineyard. 

Graduating with honors from Baltimore International College in 2002, 

Vargo earned a prestigious internship through The American Studies Institute 

in Ireland with The Park Hotel. Vargo was also selected as a member of Ritz 

Carlton’s domestic and international recruiting team sent to South Africa and 

Peru where he cooked for orphanages and shelters.

lush, captivating gardens, while rising boldly at river’s edge. 

From a bird’s-eye view, The Cloister encompasses a sprawling range of buildings

CLASSIC CHATEAU DE 

BEAUCASTEL 

This incredible auction lot is truly worthy of our Honorary International 

Vintner; Château de Beaucastel. The winery takes its name from the Beaucastel 

family which lived in Courthézon in the middle of the 16th century and it is 

located in the southern part of the Rhône valley in France. 

Your experience starts with accommodations for three couples for three 

nights at the Beaucastel guest house in the historic village of Vinsobres. The 

house will be stocked with wine, light appetizers, breakfast items and local 

cheese. The village’s name originates from the Latin words “vin sobris” or “vin 

sobrio” meaning “wine and work” and indeed the area is completely devoted to 

the making of wine. Vineyards have produced red, white and rosé wines known 

since 1957 under the “Côtes du Rhône Village” AOC. “The village is on a hill. 

It’s land produces a sweet sharp wine. Whether it’s “Vin Sobre” or “Sobre Vin”, 

drink it soberly” his Lordship the Archbishop of Vaison is said to have remarked 

… in 1633! 

After a restful night, your driver will bring you to Château de Beaucastel and 

the Family Perrin property for a private VIP tour and tasting with a member of 

the Perrin family. You will enjoy an outstanding lunch at L’Oustalet followed by 

the most unique dinner at Château de Beaucastel. 

On your third day a driver will take your group to visit Nicolas Jaboulet from 

Nicolas Perrin wines in Tain Hermitage with lunch, tastings and tours of the 

vineyards. Top off the day with a visit to the famous Valrhona Chocolate factory 

in Tain. Spend the next day touring the area and visiting other area wineries. 

Chan Cox will be happy to assist in making appointments at the wineries of your 

choosing. 

On your fourth day, your driver will provide transportation to Aix de Provence 

where you will have three rooms for two nights at the Hotel Villa Gallici. The 

Hotel La Villa Gallici welcomes you to an elegant 18th century residence. This 

5-star Relais & Châteaux hotel offers luxurious amenities and outstanding service. 

The country home opens out on to a garden filled with the sweet fragrances 

of Provence, with cypress trees sheltering the outdoor swimming pool. There 

is a special reason this location is included with this lot. Aix de Provence is the 

location of Chateau Miraval, a historic winery owned by Angelina Jolie and Brad 

Pitt. A member of Famille Perrin will provide a rare VIP visit to the tasting room

FOLEY FAMILY WINES 

Destin 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 Barbara 

area properties, Bill purchased 

Sebastiani Vineyards & Winery in 

Sonoma in December 2008. Under 

the guidance of Bill, Sebastiani Vineyards 

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 Healdsburg

SANTORINI ISLAND ADVENTURE 


Shelter House of Northwest Florida 

On Santorini, legend is almost indistinguishable from reality. And there, 

on the island reputed to have been the land of Atlantis, the five suites of the 

Tsitouras Collection are perched on a thousand-foot cliff overlooking one of the 

most spectacular views in the Mediterranean. 

The mansion that forms the nucleus of the Tsitouras Collection was built in 

1780. Over the centuries, it has served as a school, post office, and private home, 

and is now an exclusive hotel. It was renovated in 1985 by the famous collector 

Dimitris Tsitouras, who converted it into five units, each with a separate theme 

and name, all demonstrating his personal style and respect for the Greek tradition 

and the needs of modern travellers alike. 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. 

Notable guests include: Gianni Versace, Hugh Jackman, Moschino, Joan 

Kennedy, Jack Lang, Demis Roussos, Harvey Keitel, Nana Mouskouri, Jean Paul 

Gaultier, David Coulthard, Domenico Dolce, Olympia Dukakis, among others. 

Start off your adventure October 5-10, 2015, with a 4-hour tour of the 

Santorini countryside and visit the most distinct wineries of the island. Taste 

a selection of 12 different wine styles from Santorini and Greece. Winemaking 

on Santorini dates back more than 4,000 years and the tour covers the most 

distinct wineries of the island, starting at a vineyard on the volcanic soils. Stroll 

through the unique basket vines, learning about the local viticulture that makes 

vine-growing in Santorini respected worldwide for its distinctive means of 

production. Learn the island’s history through its winemaking as you move 

between 3 distinct wineries, all acclaimed by international experts. Taste the 

major wine styles of Santorini such as Assyrtiko, Nykteri, Vinsanto accompanied 

by local delicacies, including cheese, salami and olives. This tour also includes 

an additional stop at the Yellow Donkey brewery and be introduced to the local 

beer-making. 

On another day, tour the island and venture around the ancient ruins of Akrotiri 

on a walking tour. After the eruption of the volcano in the 17 century B.C. 

the whole island, and Akrotiri as well, has been covered with volcanic material. 

From a professional guide, hear tales of Akrotiri’s links to the mythical city of 

Atlantis. 

Finally, what better way to explore Santorini than from the water at sunset? 

Sail the Caldera and visit the Hot Springs, see towering volcanic cliffs, swim, 

snorkel, and enjoy delicious gourmet meals. Your 5-hour tour approximately 3.5 

hours before sunset to ensure a great afternoon of swimming, snorkeling, dining

SAILING THE BVI’S 


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 boating. 

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 ingredients, 

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! 


• 6 Night, 7 Day Island-Hopping

A lively town known for its cafés, lemon trees, and history, Sorrento has been 

a must-see destination on grand European tours for generations. Naturally, when 

the Count de Mario Caracciolo, the last descendant of a prestigious Neapolitan 

family was seeking the perfect place to call home he chose this villa – known as 

“the jewel” or il gioiello, of Sorrento. 

Purchasing the home in 1970, the count filled the home with his collection 

of antiques and treasures. Set against a sleek white backdrop, his paintings, vases 

and sculptures add a historic and personal touch to the otherwise modern home. 

A lover of all things beautiful, he once said, “Having something unique is not a 

sin… but just a nice luxury to be granted!” 

The 4,845 sq. ft. home is designed over several levels, offering plenty of room 

for you and your guests. The spacious open plan living room is bathed in natural 

light, overlooked by a small private study. The sophisticated dining area is furnished 

with a white stone dining table; more dining areas are available poolside, 

on the large private terrace. 

With five double bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, Villa Il Gioiello 

comfortably accommodates up to four couples during September 26-October 

3, 2015. An onsite villa manager offers a wealth of local knowledge on Sorrento

THE PAUL HOBBS 

COLLECTION 

“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 firsthand 

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.

ART OF TRANSFORMATION 



Justin 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 evolution, 

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 ingredients 

on a cutting board. 

Justin’s artistic evolution has been through many stages since he started painting 

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 evolving 

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 Mountain 

Beach, Florida.

Built in the 1850s, the villa was recently restored in a way that respects its 

rustic past but provides modern comfort. In the living room, brick arches and 

terracotta floors nod to traditional Tuscan style, while a fireplace and contemporary 

sectional sofas create a welcoming place to sit. There’s room for everyone 

around the long dining table, situated in an airy space that’s open to the kitchen, 

where you’ll find modern appliances and both Italian- and American-style coffee 

makers. 

There are five bedrooms in the main house, and one bedroom in the guest 

cottage. Each has an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, and is stocked with 

toiletries. In the main house, you’ll find three bedrooms with king beds, one 

bedroom with a queen bed and one bedroom with three twin beds. The guest 

cottage has a bedroom with a queen bed, as well as a sofa bed that can sleep three 

additional guests. 

As its name implies, Villa Montepulciano is just outside the town of Montepulciano. 

There’s a grocery store 7 minutes away by car, and restaurants, a 

tennis court, church and gym 10 minutes away in the center of town. It’s a 

25-minute drive to the Chiusi train station, a 30-minute drive to the Bettolo golf

THIS 

NEW WORLD CULTS 

The world of wine has always presented to the true oenophile wines so unique 

they are in a category all of their own. Two centuries ago the Bordeaux Wine 

Official Classification of 1855 resulted from the 1855 Exposition Universelle de 

Paris, when Emperor 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. 

Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation is pleased to offer for your bidding 

pleasure the best of the best. Expect competitive bidding on this special collection!

SNAP UP PEYTON MANNING 


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, leading 

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 championships, 

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 Sheriff 

”, and he is one of the most recognizable 

and parodied players in the 

NFL. Teams led by Manning more often 

than not use the hurry-up offense 

in place of the standard huddle.

What more a wine could offer. Inky 

blue/purple, with an extraordinary 

nose of smoked duck, grilled steaks, 

Provençal herbs, blackberries, blueberries, 

kirsch, licorice and truffle, 

enormously massive, concentrated, 

full-bodied and built for 30-50 years of 

cellaring, this wine, which is dominated 

by its Mourvèdre component, is 

a tour de force, a spectacular, worldclass 

wine. It is going to require some 

patience, though, and seems to need 

4-5 years of cellaring. It should again 

be almost ageless in its potential.

ARAUJO TRIO 

To produce the estate’s flagship 

wine, three quarters of the 38-acre 

Eisele Vineyard is dedicated to Cabernet 

Sauvignon and its companion 

varieties, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot 

and Merlot. The resulting wine is an 

intense expression of the Eisele Vineyard 

proprietary clone and terroir, 

exhibiting characteristic flavors of 

cassis, blackberry, cedar and chocolate, 

with a lingering mineral finish. 

Cabernets from the Eisele Vineyard 

are highly regarded for their complexity, 

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 Vineyard 

and ending with a long graphite 

note. Notes winemaker Matt Taylor: 

This wine is expressive of earth, chocolate, 

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 Collection 

Caymus Vineyards produces two 

Cabernets Sauvignons – a “Napa 

Valley” and the venerable “Special Selection”. 

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 waiting 

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

is more representative of a standard 

Cabernet of Napa Valley, as it is a bit 

less precocious than the Special Selection, 

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 3L 

The 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 catapulted 

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 BRANDOL 

This 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 archetypal 

terroir of AOC Bandol wines: 

Silent 232 DORSETT DISPLAY 

Anthony “Tony” Dorsett is a former 

American football running back in 

the National Football League for the 

Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. 

After graduating from Hopewell High 

School, Dorsett attended the University 

of Pittsburgh, where he won the 

Heisman Trophy. He was a first round 

draft choice of the Cowboys in 1977, 

became NFL Offensive Rookie of the 

Year and played for the team through 

1987. He played for Denver the 

following year before he was forced to 

retire due to injuries. He is a member 

of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and

250 million year old calcareous clay. In 

the height of the summer the soft clay 

becomes so dry that it retracts, creating 

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.

A pale yellow hue, the wine is well 

balanced with great structure. Bright 

minerality, pink grapefruit and key 

lime characters shine though on the 

nose, followed by lemon zest and 

stone-fruit. The mid-palate displays 

intriguing notes of lemon meringue, 

quince and citrus, complemented by a 

crisp acidity that carries through from 

start to finish. The higher acidity in 

this wine makes it a perfect accompaniment 

to a wide array of food, 

particularly salads, grilled seafood, 

tomato-based dishes and fresh oysters.

Silent 266 ORNELLAIA 

The sun-filled, early-maturing 2011 

vintage perfectly expresses the qualities 

of Ornellaia. The wine appears 

an intense, youthful ruby red. The 

nose offers rich fruit that is fully ripe 

yet at the same time crisp and lively, 

backgrounded by delicate nuances of 

balsam and toastiness. On the palate, 

the powerful concentration immediately 

impresses, as do the tannins, 

massive yet silk-smooth and glossy, 

which allows the wine to completely 

fill the mouth but with no feeling of 

heaviness. The finish, near endless, is 

deliciously pungent and spicy, with a 

welcome crispness throughout.

Silent 268 PAHLMEYER RED 

Beginning with its deep purple hue 

and glints of ruby, this wine is opulent 

in every sense. Aromas of juicy ripe 

black cherry and floral raspberry marry 

with fresh citrus blossom, pencil lead 

and a hint of marzipan. Smooth, sweet 

tannins frame the unctuous mouthfeel, 

dazzling with a balance if rich complexity 

and fresh acidity. On the palate, 

notes of ripe black cherry, cassis, mocha 

and sarsaparilla merge with captivating 

briny green olive, light ash and 

orange peel. A crescendo of intense

Mrs. Albert Spotts in 1910 and it was

1972. Mary released Spottswoode’s 

first Cabernet Sauvignon in 1982,

Today, Mary’s daughter Beth 

Novak Milliken manages the winery,

national marketing. Every year four 

wines are released: Spottswoode 

Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Spottswoode 

Sauvignon Blanc, Lyndenhurst 

Cabernet Sauvignon, and Field Book 

Syrah. The Novak family is committed

Silent 308 FAY MAGNUM VERTICAL 

The 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.. 

Silent 309 ORIN SWIFT D66 

A deep, ruby complexion envelops 

the glass suggesting a mighty wine. It 

is perfumed with a tempting fusion 

of red and black fruits, mountain 

flowers, kirsch, herbes de Provence, 

and a wreath of new French oak. Silky 

and intensely rich, the palate is lead 

down a path of exotic flavors including 

blackberry, maraschino cherry, mocha, 

and raspberry puree. A fine mineral 

component augments a persistent 

finish that is wrapped in sleek and 

satiny tannins. 

And, in 1986, the winery purchased 

Nathan Fay’s vineyard and named it 

FAY in his honor.

Collectible wine and collectible

Bouche Napa Valley Merlot, a joint 

wine venture with Heidi Barrett and 

John Schwartz. This Pomerol-style 

Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend is made

While it hints at the flavors of Merlot 

and Cabernet Sauvignon that frame it, 

Arriviste is not a wine to demystify. It 

is simply a wine to enjoy. 

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 indefinitely, 

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.

at an outreach program at her church, and every Tuesday, Tyler and his little 

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 fighting. 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 afford dental or medical health 

care. Through 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. 

Getting 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!” The next step was convincing an orthodontist 

to see Tyler at no cost. With the first 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. 



EMERALD COAST AUTISM CENTER 

ECAUTISMCENTER.ORG 

Autism affects 1 in 68 children in the US today, and early intervention is the 

key to helping these children reach their potential. Children with autism can 

learn, but they learn differently. Emerald Coast Autism Center (ECAC) was 

founded in 2009 to fill a growing need on the Emerald Coast for an educational 

and therapeutic resource for children with autism. As a non-profit school, 

ECAC’s mission is to improve the lives of young children with autism and 

their families by providing effective treatment and education options during 

the critical early education years and beyond. ECAC is unique in its approach 

to teaching these amazing children, focusing on individualized therapy with a 

one-to-one student-to-teacher ratio. All instruction and activities at ECAC are 

conducted in a manner consistent with the science of Applied Behavior Analysis 

(ABA), currently the only proven intervention for children with autism. 

Honoring ECAC’s motto – reaching kids, supporting families – ECAC also 

provides Speech and Occupational Therapy onsite to help families obtain 

additional services for their children without added scheduling and travel. 

Furthermore, ECAC strives to help children get the services they need through 

the establishment of the ECAC Scholarship Fund, a fund dedicated to providing 

tuition assistance for families with a bona fide financial need. 

EMERALD COAST CHILDREN’S ADVOCACY CENTER 

ECCAC.ORG 

The Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center saves and heals child abuse 

victims in Okaloosa and Walton Counties. In 2011, we helped save and heal 

698 local children. All were confirmed cases of child sexual abuse, child physical 

abuse, drug-endangered children and children of severe neglect. Children 

receiving services at the Center are able to come to one child-friendly facility for 

all of the services related to their case. 

It is in our building that they meet with our agency partners and others 

working their case. We conduct necessary medical exams and forensic 

interviews. Each child leaves with a fresh-baked cookie and a juice box. We 

also help provide clothing, diapers, school supplies, food, and other items that 

our families need. 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. These 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 nonoffending 

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 THOUGHT 

FOODFORTHOUGHTFL.ORG 

At Food For Thought, 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 suffer from what the USDA officially 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 afford to 

provide balanced meals. 

This is where we begin. 

By providing these children with a simple backpack filled 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 COUNTY 

WALTONCOUNTYHABITAT.ORG 

Habitat for Humanity of Walton County, Florida is a 501(c)(3) Christian 

non-profit 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. The 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. The Habitat ReStore 

accepts donations of new and gently used building materials and household 

furnishings. The 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 difference to the lives of the 

children in the community in which we live and, with simple decent housing, 

change lives forever. 



HORIZONS OF OKALOOSA COUNTY 

HORIZONSFWB.COM 

Horizons was founded in 1955 and is an affiliate of The Arc of the United 

States, the world’s largest grassroots advocacy organization for citizens of all ages 

with cognitive, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, and their families. 

Horizons works to include all children and adults with cognitive, intellectual, 

and developmental disabilities in every community. We focus on abilities, 

respect, choice for all and encourage active citizenship and inclusion in every 

community. 

One of every ten families in America has a member with an intellectual and 

developmental disability. There are more than 7.5 million people in the U.S. with

OPPORTUNITY INC. 

OKALOOSAWALTONHOMELESS.ORG 

Opportunity, Inc. is dedicated to creating a community without homelessness, 

with children as our first priority. Children who have experienced homelessness 

and great poverty are five 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 selfsufficiency. 

While parents are learning the tools necessary to gain and maintain 

employment, budget appropriately, and parent effectively, their children are 

given unique services to help them heal and flourish. Children’s Services are 

designed to assist children with academic outcomes, physical fitness, emotional 

health and social stability, with the greatest emphasis on scholastics. 

Perhaps the greatest benefit to our children is the gift of imagination – 

imagining a future free from want, where they can see themselves as capable 

adults leading fulfilling and productive lives. We use field trips, mentors, artists 

and craftsmen to open their eyes to careers as carpenters, scientists, teachers and 

health professionals. After only three years, we have seen young men and women 

selected as “student of the year,” and offered scholarships to higher education. 

PATHWAYS FOR CHANGE 

PATHWAYSFORCHANGE.ORG 

Saving Lives…. Reducing Crime…..Building Futures. Pathways For Change 

is committed to our clients and our community. Human transformation is our 

business; Pathways for Change saves people from the destructive lifestyle too 

often perpetuated by poverty, abuse of alcohol and other drugs, and lack of 

education. 

Pathways For Change reduces crime on many fronts. We reduce recidivism at 

a rate of 80 percent, meaning the vast majority of our clients do not go out and 

commit new crimes. We help young people and families know that they have a 

future as law-abiding citizens. They do not need to hang with the gang, give up 

hope or dreams, or settle for a life that is not what God has intended for them. 

Pathways For Change builds futures for children by providing a summer 

camp and an after-school program for middle-school boys and girls. We build 

futures for families by showing them how to live free of drugs and crime. We 

build futures for the elderly residents who live right next door to the Family 

Center; they now have meaningful work to do -- volunteering as tutors, mentors, 

instructors, childcare sitters, librarians, office coordinators. We are reviving a 

neighborhood, called “homeless town,” working with each other to save lives, 

increase safety and build futures.

responsible or liable for the accuracy of the descriptions of the 

wines offered in the catalog or on bid sheets. Such information

from published wine sources or experts. There is no warranty, 

express or implied, as to any sale lot’s quality, value or suitability 

for any purpose whatsoever.

is.” Wine and other tangible lots are on display and available for 

your examination. By bidding on any lot, you acknowledge that 

you have inspected the lot, and find it in satisfactory condition 

to warrant your bid. 

Lots made up of trips, dinners or other intangible services 

are represented in good faith in the catalog. By bidding on a lot, 

you acknowledge that you have read the description of that lot, 

and find the description satisfactory to warrant your bid. Destin 

Charity Wine Auction Foundation is not liable for loss of use 

of any lot if restrictions specified are not adhered to by winning 

bidders and is not liable for omission of any restrictions 

enforced by donors of auction lots. 

Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation makes every 

effort to maintain and store wine responsibly. Destin Charity 

Wine Auction Foundation is not responsible for the provenance 

of any wine or for the condition of its storage and handling 

before being placed in the position of Destin Charity Wine 

Auction Foundation.

using a current bidding number issued by Destin Charity Wine 

Auction. Bidding methods and rules may vary for certain lots. 

This information will be given in the catalog, on the bid sheet or 

display, or by the Auctioneer. Bids may be rejected, if the stated 

requirements are not met by the bidder. 

A live auction bid is only valid when it is recognized by 

the Auctioneer. At the word “Sold,” the acknowledged bidder 

is deemed to have purchased the lot and thereupon assumes 

responsibility to pay the price announced by the Auctioneer. 

By participating in the Auction, a bidder agrees to pay the full 

purchase price for all lots recorded by auction personnel to his/ 

her assigned bid number. 

A silent auction bid is recognized as the buying bid when 

the bidding sheet if finalized by an auction official. The moment 

of finalization will be announced by the person directing the 

silent auction and may vary from the exact time published or 

on signs. Any silent auction bid may be nullified by the auction 

official if all requirements as to minimum bid amounts and 

raises and bidder identification have not been fulfilled. 

For each lot purchased, the buyer will be required to sign 

a form verifying the buyer’s name and the lot’s price directly 

after the lot has been sold. These verification forms will be 

brought to the bidder’s assigned table. Therefore, it is necessary 

for each bidder to remain at his/her assigned able throughout 

the evening. 

In case of a bid dispute in the live auction, either among 

individual bidders or between bidders and the Auctioneer, the 

Auctioneer will have the sole and final authority to resolve 

the dispute. Such resolution may include, but is not limited to: 

reselling, reopening the bidding only between the disputing 

bidders, or awarding the sale at the Auctioneer’s judgment. 

The final bidder and amount announced by the Auctioneer is 

indisputable. 

Disputes over silent auction bids and other disputes such 

as may arise at payment or lot pick-up will be adjudicated and 

resolved with sole and final authority by the President of Destin 

Charity Wine Auction Foundation. 

Full payment is required at or before the conclusion of the 

Auction and prior to the removal of any lot. Destin Charity 

Wine Auction Foundation accepts cash, checks, MasterCard, 

Discover, Visa and American Express. In order to send even 

more money to the children, we are now charging a fee of 2% 

on all transactions. If you wish to pay by check, you will receive 

a 2% discount off your purchase price. 

The credit card you provided at registration will be charged 

for the amount of your lot purchases at the end of the auction 

unless another form of payment is present at check out. It is the 

responsibility of winning bidders splitting lots to inform the 

cashier at the time of purchase how charges should be divided 

and Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation makes no 

promise to refund and recharge winning bidders’ credit cards 

after the event is concluded. The cashier station will be clearly 

marked. Buyers will be given a receipt which must be presented 

at the Lot Pick-Up area in order for the lots to be released. 

All buyers must take possession of their purchases, both 

physical items and certificates, from the Lot Pick-Up area, 

on the night of the auction. Shipping is not available. Destin 

Charity Wine Auction Foundation will bear no responsibility 

for any lot, comprised of physical items or certificates or both 

that has not been taken possession of and removed from the 

auction premises by the buyer or in the case of shared lots, by 

the principal buyer or their designee. Auction lots not picked up 

and left in the care of Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation 

revert back to the Foundation after one year from auction date 

and will be used in a manner at the sole discretion of Destin 

Charity Wine Auction Foundation. It is the sole responsibility 

of winning bidders to claim their items from Destin Charity 

Wine Auction Foundation and when signing out items at the 

time of lot pick-up, winning bidders acknowledge they are in 

possession of all physical items and certificates associated with 

their purchased lot and release Destin Charity Wine Auction 

Foundation from all further responsibility for these items. 

Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation is not responsible for 

unclaimed lots that have expired since the date of auction. 

In the event of loss or damage to any lot, incurred in the 

course of its handling or storage during the auction event 

and before possession is taken by the buyer, the buyer will be 

compensated only as follows: 

1. If the lot has not been paid for, the exact amount of 

the bid amount will be subtracted from the buyer’s bidding 

account. 

2. If the lot has been paid for, the buyer will receive a refund 

of the bid amount only. 

The goods sold at this event have no evaluation beyond the 

amount of the final bid. Therefore, such credit or refund is the 

sole remedy which will be made for such losses.
