Premiere Napa Valley ® 2009
Napa Valley Vintners' Annual Mid-Winter Barrel Auction for the Trade
On February 21, 2009, more than 200 Napa Valley Vintners gathered to offer select members of the wine trade the opportunity to taste from barrel and bid on wines created solely for this event, to be bought by only one bidder. Premiere Napa Valley is also a place to rub elbows and compare notes, visit with old friends and make new ones. Join us to see what some of the world's greatest winemakers come up with when all bets are off.Each of these wines will be a one-of-a-kind blend, variety, appellation, or vineyard or barrel designation unique to the winery, or a collaboration among two or more winemakers. The wines are offered as 5-case, 10-case or 20-case lots at the discretion of the vintner. These futures are released to the winning bidder in 750ml or 1.5L bottles that are individually numbered and specially labeled.
Nowhere else can you obtain these rare wines.
Premiere Napa Valley 2009 was chaired by Bryan Del Bondio, president of Markham Vineyards.
Next year's Premiere Napa Valley auction will be held on February 19-20, 2010.
