A Matter of Taste Volunteer presenter Randi McEntee shows off a 1.5-liter bottle of Duckhorn Merlot and a 6-liter bottle of Duckhorn Cabernet to Friday night’s crowd at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts 27th annual wine auction. The bottles were part of a live lot that was bought for ($12,000) which included a day-long wine tasting extravaganza with lunch and dinner along with a collection of either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon wines and a two-night stay at Duckhorn Vineyards. Duckhorn Vineyards has participated in the Sun Valley Center Wine Auction for more than 20 years. The auction is regularly mentioned in the top ten charity wine auctions in the United States by Wine Spectator Magazine. See page A-10 for complete story. Photo by Willy Cook
