Silent Auctions:

- A generous partnership with Diageo, the world’s largest distributor of wine and spirits, has added some phenomenal items to this year’s silent auction.  All of these great items will be in the auction but sales lots and prices haven't been determined yet.
 

Featured Wine
Beaulieu Vineyard 2004 Georges De Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Beaulieu's Georges de Latour is a classic "Reserve" wine from one of Napa Valley's more historic vineyards. The wine showcases Beaulieu's best cabernet sauvignon from vineyards in Rutherford, Oakville and St. Helena. Hand-harvested fruit, whole berry fermentation and 21 months aging in oak lead to a wine that is full-bodied and mouth-filling with concentrated aromas of black fruits, mocha, toast and briar. On the palate are flavors of blackcurrant, vanilla and anise. Drinking well now, this wine will benefit from seven to nine years in the cellar to reach its fullest potential.

Featured Spirit:
Johnnie Walker Blue-King George V ed.

This exquisite spirit is handcrafted from rare whiskies produced only in distilleries that operated during the reign of King George V, including several which no longer exist. The blend also features prized Islay malts from the Port Ellen distillery, founded in the 1820s, the stills of which are no longer operational. Johnnie Walker Blue Label King George V Edition is exquisitely packaged in crystal decanter accompanied by an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.

Many thanks to Diageo for their extraordinary
generosity in sponsoring the wine and spirits portion of Bash for Books.
