General Information

This lot will be a component of the Festa Primavera live auction benefiting the St. Helena Montessori School on April 16th, 2005, at The Culinary Institute of America in the heart of the Napa Valley.

The St. Helena Montessori School is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization serving families who live and work in the Napa Valley. In a loving, nurturing and secure environment, we offer an A.M.I. accredited Catholic Montessori School with a strong academic curriculum for primary and elementary students developing essential learning skills by encouraging a child's natural curiosity and love of knowledge. Our annual auction, Festa Primavera, celebrates over 24 years of providing a quality educational and religious program while pursuing academic excellence and modeling honesty, respect and service.

Festa Primavera, one of the finest wine auctions in the Napa Valley, offers a collector's dream of hard-to-find wines, coveted large format bottles, sought-after verticals, as well as rare vintages-many signed by the winemakers and ready to add to your cellar. A highlight this year, one lucky bidder will win the opportunity to take away a barrel of wine made just for them by well-known Napa Valley vintner Mark Aubert with grapes from David Abreu's Cappella Vineyard!

Tickets are $75 in advance and $80 at the door. For reservations (limited tickets remain), general information or proxy bidding, please call (707) 963-1527 or (707) 738-6500.
