Chateau St. Jean Winery was the setting for the 20th anniversary of the Sonoma Valley Harvest Wine Auction. The Bollywood theme blanketed the event with a vibrant combination of vivid colors, mesmerizing music, and exotic flavors.

In anticipation of the theme, many participants dressed for the occasion in appropriate garb; Gene and Ethel Daly, Darryl and Cee Cee Ponicsan, Rick and Lori Miron, Carolyn and Bob Stone, Curt and Marchelle Carleton were among the 550 guests who shared the opportunity to celebrate with world-class wines, delectable cuisine, and great entertainment.

Auctioneer Dave Reynolds, with the help of Eva Bertran, Jean-Charles Boisset, Chris Benziger, Dan Kosta, Joel Peterson and the ever-popular Ladies of Magnum Force, collaborated to raise the record-breaking amount of more than  $730,000 for Sonoma County nonprofits. 

The event’s Fund-a-Need, benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma Valley and Central Sonoma County, brought in $250,000.

A great way to celebrate an anniversary and support important causes.
