REVEAL WALLA WALLA VALLEY 2019
|
|
On April 14th and 15th the annual Reveal Walla Walla Valley event and wine auction took place and it was a rousing success.
The two-day event began on April 14th at Dunham Cellars, with the twenty-four participating wineries pouring library wines dating as far back as the 2002 vintage. That was followed up by a spectacular dinner catered by Andrae’s Kitchen that was attended by wineries and auction registrants.
Then on April 15th came the main event at Corliss Estates. Wine trade and private collectors had the opportunity to taste and bid on small lots of unique, one-of-a-kind wines from some of Walla Walla most prestigious wineries. Each auction had a starting bid of $1,800 for the 60-bottle lots (some wineries made 30-magnum lots instead). A total of $127,200 was raised in the auction, an increase of over 30% from last year's Reveal auction. 5% of those funds ($6,360) will go to the Enology and Viticulture program at the Walla Walla Community College. The highest winning bid was $15,000 for Woodward Canyon’s 2017 Cabernet Franc.
