SONOMA VALLEY HARVEST WINE AUCTION CATALOG
PICTORIAL PANTHEON Of SONOMA’S VENERAbLE VINTNERS BeTTie and jiM hall In A.D. 1999, twenty-six Sonoma Valley Vintners were immortalized by Sonoma’s Pluto of Pictures, Photographer Ron Zak, in a commission of photos that were displayed in The General’s Daughter restaurant. When the restaurant sold, the owners—with patrician generosity—donated the portraits to the Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Foundation with specific instructions that they be used to raise money to benefit the citizens of Sonoma.
We have paired these one-of-a-kind portraits, most with a signed three-liter bottle from the winery, to create a series suitable for even the most commanding collector. Each pair begins its odyssey at $1,000 apiece and will be on display at the Silent Auction, in the Toga Lounge during Sunday’s Harvest Wine Auction extravaganza.

Your journey starts off with a Vineyard Lunch for 20 in Sonoma. Then drink to your health with a cellar collection of wine that showcases just a fraction of the over 70 wineries to which the Sangiacomos provide grapes. Then it’s off to Italy to experience the Roman Empire as only the elite have for centuries with this Roman-tic getaway for two to the legendary Italian coast and Milan, locations selected by the Sangiacomos for their proximity to the family’s ancestral home of Genoa, Italy. Famous since before the fall for beautiful weather and incomparable seafood, Portofino has attracted the most well-known celebrities since Augustus. Spend your days luxuriating in your impeccable accommodations, indulging in a boat tour of Cinque Terre or kicking off your sandals for a walk on the beach before donning your top tunics for an evening of Epicurean edibles at Portofino’s Da u Batti. And after relaximus maximus in Portofino, it’s an effortless trip to the center of Italian fashion, Milan, where it’s rumored that Aphrodite does all her shopping. You’ll lunch at Milan’s temple of haute cuisine, Giannino, savor a night on the town at Ristorante Savini, named the best restaurant in Milan by Travel Guide Restaurant, and enjoy your Last Supper at Ristorante Don Carlos. The gods have spoken: these Dionysian delights are your destiny!

LOT XVI {16} A fUNd-A-NEEd fORUM fOR PHILANTHROPY SonoMa CoMMuniTy CenTer
Since the day it opened its doors as the Sonoma Grammar School in March of 1916, the Sonoma Community Center has been like the ancient Roman Forum—the center of education, the arts, and a respect for history. Thousands of Sonoma citizens have utilized its classrooms, lecture halls and dining room to celebrate events, pursue the arts, and to cultivate their sense of community.Sonoma is a city without a Parks and Recreation Department. The public relies on the Sonoma Community Center to fulfill those needs. Membership-based, funding comes—not from the Emperor—but from dues, rental fees, grants, corporate sponsorships and donations from the generosity of the proletariat. But even these generous sources aren’t generating enough funding to address the capital needs that are now becoming a threat to the Center’s continuing operation, and it’s falling into ruins.Two small private schools, a church, several service clubs, non-profits, and a local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous call the Center home. Life event celebrations, community dinners and fund-raisers continue to contribute to its vibrancy.
The Center’s primary mission remains the same: the cultural, educational, and recreational enrichment of Sonoma Valley, and the protection of this treasured Sonoma landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today is your chance to help save this treasured Sonoma institution. Everyone has $250 to spare, so do Caesar proud. Raise your paddle, be counted, and share!
LOT XVII {17} A YEAR AMONG THE GOdS FranCiS Ford Coppola winery, The riTz-CarlTon deSTinaTion CluB

Embark upon your mythic adventure as a Coppola insider with a five-day, four-night stay in a Sea View Villa at Francis Ford Coppola’s “personal joy”—Turtle Inn Resort in Belize. This lot allows you to enjoy luxury and relaxation typically reserved for immortals, a truly emperor-worthy escape. Turtle Inn Resort was resurrected from the rubble of a hurricane, phoenix-like, under the meticulous attention of Coppola himself, and transformed into a palace of rustic charm and over-the-top opulence. You’ll be treated to fabulous feasts, spa experiences and exciting excursions to the surrounding areas. Then, mark your Julian calendar as “full” for the next twelve months as you join the ranks of the colossal Coppolas for a year of living like a member of the family. Your initiation begins with a two year membership to Francis Ford Coppola Winery’s Amanti Wine Club where the messenger Mercury will deliver wine to your doorstep. Join Corey Beck for a behind-the-scenes tour of the newly renovated winery, tasting and lunch for eight. Relive the revelry in Summer 2010 with eight VIP passes to the Grand Opening Party. Ride your chariot to San Francisco to enjoy the epicurean accomplishments of the family at their charming Zoetrope Café. Drink and be merry, for you are invited to spend the night at the Ritz Carlton Club and Residences, where Zeus has been spotted by the paparazzi on several occasions. To ensure your eternal memory of this amazing adventure, the Coppolas will fill your DVD library with the best of the Coppola canon. Someday, and that day may never come, they may call on you to do a service for them… But tonight, bid big, bid often, and show your loyalty to the godfathers of all things good.

Strap your wings on your ankles, Mercury! You’re off for a Roman Holiday so authentic the gods are guaranteed to come along to shower you with blessings. Your Odyssey begins in the center of Bacchus’ stateside second home, Sonoma, where you’ll be treated to two nights of accommodations steeped in the luxury for which the goddess Vesta provides, and extravagant meals so decadent they’ll transport you to paradise. Mark Lyon, the venerable Sebastiani winemaker, will escort you through a fascinating behind-the-scenes winemaking tour and blending session. These gods are also bestowing upon you an Olympian vertical of Sebastiani’s Cherryblock Cabernet Sauvignon from 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 (all golden years of this empire). Alight upon your own chariot to the airport, where upon arrival in Rome you’ll have an evening to experience the history and majesty of the ancient city where mortals have indulged in La Dolce Vita for centuries. The next day you’ll board a train as swift as the west wind to Montepulciano where you’ll launch your six-day odyssey with Zephyr Adventures. You’ll delve into the natural beauty of the god’s playground of Tuscany with three days of easy and relaxed hiking through towns as old as myth, where your muse may inspire you to do a little shopping or just absorb the elysian atmosphere. Your destiny awaits aboard bikes in Umbria, where you’ll glide effortlessly as Artemis’ arrow through the flat and scenic valleys, with stops in historic hill towns as the fates decide. It’s a glorious adventure for two (is that Cupid I see?) that promises all of the epic romance and drama you deserve.

Four celebrated Pinot Noir producers have formed their own quorum to bring you and three consorts an unprecedented exploration of some of Sonoma’s most exciting wines. Your home palace will be the newly restored turn-of-the-century ranch house and gardens located on the Durell Vineyard, accommodations so comfortable, quaint, and picturesque the gods sing of its glory. Over three days, you’ll be treated to a lunch and tour of Papapietro Perry Winery, an illuminating walk-through of MacRostie’s Wildcat Mountain Vineyard followed by lunch and a fly-over tour of Sonoma provided by our own Mercury of the Skies, Sonoma Coastal Air Tours. You’ll feast with the folks at Roessler Cellars and dine at their bistro, Cuvée Napa. Your bacchanal is topped off with an ambrosial feast hosted by Julie Atwood Events, in a setting of ambrosial beauty. With loads of leisure time between these epicurean events, not to mention an emperor’s ransom of special wines from all of these vintners, you’ll return to Earth from Olympus feeling relaxed and renewed.

You’ll even be transported to this exquisite feast in a round trip chariot to and from your hotel.

Sure there were villages to pillage, orgies to organize and feasts to find, but the ancient Romans also had a serious side. If Sonoma’s capable Cabernet and Merlot were given a task from Caesar, it would be to preside over all the others with structure, balance and finesse. They would be hailed throughout the Empire as the wines in charge, and when you bring home this chorus of Cabs and Merlot, your cellar will instantly get a dose of imperial appeal.
