Live Lot #1 – Pop the Cork
Schramsberg Vineyards

Schramsberg Vineyards sure knows how to get a party started! And as one of the staunchest supporters of the Wine Auction, Schramsberg will have the honor of kicking things off this year by opening one of their giant bottles of 2008 Blanc de Blancs bubbly for you to enjoy right away. Start things off right and celebrate with the finest in champagne!

At the end of the evening, you will take home a second Salmanazar of 2008 Blanc de Blancs as well as three award-winning Magnums of Schramsberg’s top-shelf selections―an elegant 2006 J. Schram, a full-bodied 2005 Reserve and a limited allocation estate-grown 2010 J. Davies Cabernet from Diamond Mountain.

The winner of this opening lot will also have the chance to visit the vineyard in person, to see artistry at work and sample the goods at their source with a special tour and tasting for four at “America’s House of Sparkling Wine.”
