Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Willow Park Wines & Spirits 22nd Annual Charity Wine Auction. We are honoured you have chosen to be our guests for the evening.

Over the years, The Vintage Fund has been able to donate over $4 million to local charities, enriching the lives of many people in our city. The money raised this year will be used to support two local programs: The Calgary Herald Christmas Fund and the Alberta Children’s Hospital KIDsim program.

Once again, we are very excited with the line-up of amazing winemakers and restaurants here tonight, and thank them for their participation. This event would not be a success without them and all of their hard work.

We hope that you enjoy tonight’s “La Rouge” theme, and thank all our guests who dressed in the spirit of the evening. Tonight our celebrity judges, Bill Brooks, Andrew Schultz, and Don, Joanne & The Coach will pick the winner of the best dressed costume contest prior to the live auction. A $10,000 donation will be made to the winner’s charity of choice.

This event would not be a success without your continued support and generosity, and for that we offer our heartfelt thanks. Have a great evening and enjoy all the tastes and excitement of La Rouge Gala.

Cheers,

Scott Henuset Suzanne HenusetCo-Chair Co-Chair

Born and raised in a small southern Ontario town called Wyebridge, Kontkanen always enjoyed spending time in the rolling countryside surrounding his rural home. This, combined with his fascination with biology and chemistry, fuelled his desire to learn the art of winemaking.

NOBLE RIDGE VINEyARDS 21

With Jim & Leslie D’Andrea, OwnersIn 1998 Jim and Leslie set off across Europe with their 3 children and plans for adventure. When they returned home 3 months later they brought back a full family album and a realization about what they wanted to do with their lives. The Noble Ridge story starts with true passion and abundant optimism. How else can one look at a stretch of dirt and see the makings of your life’s dream?

In 2001 the D’Andreas bought themselves a stretch of land in the Okanagan Valley. Their original plot came with only 3.5 acres of vines. So they started planting. In 2003 their years of labour gave them their first vintage; 40 cases of Pinot Noir and 500 cases of Meritage. Today Noble Ridge has 22-acres of planted vines. Now the vineyard repays the hard work of those who’ve tilled its rocky soil with award winning wine.

ST. SuPERy ESTATE VINEyARDS & WINERy 20/43

With Winery CEO, Emma SwainSt. Supéry Vineyards and Winery C.E.O. Emma Swain has worked in the wine industry for nearly 20 years. “My world has always been one of continuous improvement. In wineries, I believe being estate-grown is the only way to really achieve this. From the soil to the supper table, we can raise the bar, never resting on our laurels.” Not being satisfied with past accolades can be a bit of a problem. “I am always looking ahead. People may say I love change, but actually I am just very open to ways to move every aspect of our business forward. I think anyone can make good wine in Napa; we want to make fantastic wine. Every time you have St. Supéry wine, I want you to have a “Wow” experience. That requires a continual, sharp focus on what you are doing and how you can do it better.”

TERRALSOLE 6

With Owner, Mario BollagEstablished in 1996, TERRALSOLE, meaning; Land Toward the Sun, is the inspiration of Mario Bollag and his wife Athena, two artists who combine their love for painting and music with their passion for fine winemaking. The estate’s 12 hectares (30 acres) of vineyards echo this harmony. For over 20 years, Mario Bollag has produced award-wining Brunello by following his principles and artistic vision. This vision led him to purchase and cultivate two distinct terroirs in Montalcino, using as his palette a blend of soils, vineyard aspects and microclimates as the medium to create the ultimate expression of Brunello di Montalcino.

3 - 750ml bottles

The ongoing project at Terralsole “land towards the Sun” is to create wines of extremely high quality. Every vintage is totally different due to climate and its effect on the grapes. Terralsole began in 1997 when two 6-hectare vineyards were planted in two quite different terroirs. Both these locations are among the most promising areas of Montalcino for quality wine making.

Terralsole has the advantage of well-maintained vineyards, a state of the art cellar, a team of competent and dedicated staff and owner-winemaker, Mario Bollag.

2004, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 20127 – 750ml bottles

After only ten years of life the wines of Scarecrow have become almost as mythical as the Wizard of Oz scarecrow that inspired the name. Made from circa 1945 vines planted by the legendary film maker JJ COHN, this impossible to find wine is available only to the wineries’ mailing list customers. Prior to the creation of Scarecrow, the grapes from these plantings went into wines like Opus One, Insignia, Rubicon and Robert Mondavi Reserve. Scarecrow is made primarily from a 2 acre plot of the original 1945 vines planted on phylloxera resistant St. George root stock, these vines are believed to be the oldest vines in Napa Valley.

What is this wine worth? In February 2015 a 5 case lot of the 2012 sold for $260,000 uS at the Napa Valley Premier Auction, $4333 uS per bottle. Later in the spring a 10 bottle vertical sold for $200,000 at the June Napa Valley Charity Auction. Are these 7 precious bottles worth 70% of that?? Missing the inaugural vintage of 2003 and two later vintages 2005 & 2008, this is a Napa Valley collectors’ dream.

uLTra exPerience2012 Lokoya Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon -100 Points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

1 – 3000ml bottle

Lokoya produces minute quantities of appellation-specific Cabernet Sauvignon from low-vigor vineyard sites in the Napa Valley. By selecting only the finest vineyards and farming each parcel to accentuate its unique attributes, Lokoya produces powerful and complex wines that reflect the distinct character of each appellation in which they are grown.

The Jackson-Banke family founded Lokoya in 1995 to showcase powerful fruit from distinct Napa Valley appellations. The late winemaker Greg upton set the wines on course before handing the reins to Marco DiGiulio in 1997. Christopher Carpenter became Lokoya’s Winemaker in 2000 after working as the assistant winemaker for three years. In October 1998, Lokoya made its debut with four Cabernet Sauvignons from the 1995 vintage. Each bore a separate appellation on its label: Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Rutherford.

Lokoya honors the Native American tribe of the Napa Valley who lived on Mount Veeder in the western mountains and named part of it “Lokoya” which, legend has it, means “the place where geese fly over.”

Terms & BookingIncludes exclusive luxury accommodation for 4 guests, for 2 nights, at the 2 bedroom Lokoya Villa on Spring Mountain. Dinner for 4 guests at Brix Restaurant, nestled in the heart of Napa Valley’s historic St. Helena. Must be redeemed prior to December 2016.
