Run by a young family, Warrenville welcomed them two years ago and their wines are getting rave reviews from all the locals. Enjoy!! #57: Canadian Ice Wine Starting Bid: $80 Buy It Now: $100 Donated By: Frank Zaunscherb and ZRB Ice wine (or icewine; German: Eiswein) is a type of dessert wine produced from grapes that have been frozen while still on the vine. The sugars and other dissolved solids do not freeze, but the water does, allowing for a more concentrated grape juice to develop. The grapes' must is pressed from the frozen grapes, resulting in a smaller amount of more concentrated, very sweet wine. With ice wines, the freezing happens before the fermentation, not afterwards. Unlike the grapes from which other dessert wines are made, such as Sauternes, Tokaji, or Trockenbeerenauslese, ice wine grapes should not be affected by Botrytis cinerea or noble rot, at least not to any great degree. Only healthy grapes keep in good shape until the opportunity arises for an ice wine harvest, which in extreme cases can occur after the New Year, on a northern hemisphere calendar. This gives ice wine its characteristic refreshing sweetness balanced by high acidity. When the grapes are free of Botrytis, they are said to come in "clean". Ice wine production is risky (the frost may not come at all before the grapes rot or are otherwise lost) and requires the availability of a large enough labour force to pick the whole crop within a few hours, at a moment's notice, on the first morning that is cold enough. This results in relatively small amounts of ice wine being made worldwide, making ice wines generally expensive. Ice wine production is limited to that minority of the world's wine-growing regions where the necessary cold temperatures can be expected to be reached with some regularity. Canada and Germany are the world's largest producers of ice wines. About 75% of the ice wine in Canada comes from Ontario. #58: Mississippi Specialty Basket Starting Bid: $85 Buy It Now: $100 Donated By: Keep Ridgeland Beautiful Board Mississippi, the land of sweet tea, talented craftsmen and artists, and specialty foods, prepared a jam packed basket filled with fresh local pecans, cheese straws, a handcrafted letter opener crafted from olive wood, local wafer cookies, and other Mississippi arts and delights.

#59: A Taste of Washington, Missouri Starting Bid: $80 Buy It Now: $95 Donated By: Washington, Missouri Enjoy this special gift basket from Washington, Missouri. It includes: • Rested American Whiskey – 1 bottle -750 ml: Pinckney Bend Rested American Whiskey: Our Rested Whiskey is

made from American-grown grain, grown basically out our front door. Made from Missouri Meerschaum Pipe Corn grown in the Pinckney Bend Valley 12 miles from the distillery, the whiskey is pot-distilled, then aged for one year in 15-gallon, charred Missouri White Oak barrels from McGinnis Cooperage. This beautiful polished-mahogany color smells of honey, sweet corn and light toffee. There's no fight for dominance in nose or taste. The harmonious blend starts with a sweet, corn flavor followed by some mid-tongue heat. The spicy, oaky finish is long and rewarding.

• Seasonal Heirloom Whiskey – 1 bottle - 375 ml: Heirloom Whiskey Seasonal Varietal: Boone County White: Part of our field-to-glass heirloom program which are made from rare and historically-important corn varities, each year we release a new variety. This year's is Boone County White. Grown just 25 miles from the Distillery by a friend, one of the most prominent corn varieties grown in Missouri in the last century, it was especially popular with farmers working the rich bottom ground along the Missouri River.

Statement from the artist: Bevlyn Simson paints out of a deep-seated philosophy built up through years of working in her chosen

medium.

When asked to define her own concept of art, Bevlyn stated, "I believe that the purpose of art is to create something which did not exist before, and in so doing to enrich life. Art is a deep, personal expression of freedom which begins as a result of an idea that becomes complete when the thought processes in combination with intuitive and sensual responses result in an integrated statement.”
