Joseph Phelps Vineyard Family Chairs
Auction Napa Valley 2007
By Tom Shelton
Auction Napa Valley has become the most anticipated and celebrated event of the year for
our community. It is attended by wine aficionados and collectors from around the globe who, on this special day in June, translate their love of fine wines into charitable resources that
fund essential health care services, youth development programs, and farm working housing assistance.
Joseph Phelps Vineyards has supported Auction Napa Valley since its inception in 1972, and this year Joe, Bill and Andrea Phelps, as well as myself, Craig Williams, and the extended winery team, are honored to chair Auction Napa Valley 2007, "The American Classic."
More than 1000 volunteers will lend their time, effort and support in hosting three days of celebratory wine events culminating with the world's most anticipated wine auction on Sunday, June 8th.
In conjunction with the dedicated Napa Valley Vintner staff, Andrea and Bill Phelps have assembled an amazing team of vintner and community volunteers who will graciously donate their time to be certain that The America Classic honors those who contribute so wonderfully to the well-being of the Napa County community.
This year comedian Dana Carvey will lend his unique perspective to the live auction on Saturday night where guests will be feted by Auctioneers Fritz Hatton and Ursula Hermacinski, and where culinary dreams will be attended to by celebrity chef volunteers Michael Chiarello, Sarah Scott & Peter Hall, Hiro Sone & Lissa Doumani, Richard Reddington, Joseph Humphrey, and Paul Lemieux.
