Given the quality of the wine to be auctioned, the USF will almost certainly see a dramatic rise in their available funds as a result.
Owner/winemaker Jayson Woodbridge says, “That auction lot was chosen by me based upon what my mother always said: ‘If you truly want to give, then give your greatest, something that will hurt to lose. Then you have truly given.’ This unique collection represents some of the greatest wines I have ever made—I’ve only once before tasted them together, and I’m not certain I’ll ever get to again. But the world wouldn’t be as rich without the guiding knowledge of sommeliers.
Woodbridge is by no means alone in the wine community when it comes to valuing the work of sommeliers. Cult Chardonnay and Pinot Noir producer Kistler vineyards has donated $50,000 to the USF.
