Lot #16 – The Wild West of Napa
Gamble Family Vineyards, Andrew Geoffrey & Phifer Pavitt

Round up your gang and head to the Napa Valley! Farmer Tom Gamble has generously donated his well-hidden four bedroom hideout for four nights. It has enough space for eight outlaws and even has a swimming hole in the back. Tom will be on hand to host you for a one-on-one lay of the land of his Oakville Vineyards, as well as to share some of his private stash wine.  Tom’s family has been farming Napa Valley since 1916 and he is looking forward to sharing all his stories with tonight’s highest bidder.

Cowgirl Suzanne “Sassy” Pavitt runs a beverage barn to the north that is a must-see, and she has inspired many a couple with her magical “Date Night” wines. Her wit, charm, and wines are leading to a great future. You will be joining her for an afternoon feast while she explains the repurposing of all her equipment and buildings.

High atop Diamond Mountain, your final host will be lawman Peter Thompson. He has staked out a property high up on the hill to keep an eye on everyone down below. Follow him up the trail for a traditional western cookout along with gems from his own wine collection, named after his two outlaw sons, Andrew and Geoffrey.

To keep you nice and busy during your stay, the finest tracker in the land is going to make sure you see the absolute best of what our area has to offer. You might visit wineries you have only heard of or up-and-comers that the locals try to keep private…either way, you will not go away thirsty or uninformed.

And that’s not all, folks. You will also dine at the grandest place in the land, The French Laundry. Chef Keller’s gourmet “frank and beans” are legendary, and apparently he is fixin’ to make a dozen other courses for your entire group! Normal folks wait months to get into his place, but tonight’s highest bidder is guaranteed a table for eight.

Wait, there’s more…

To whet your whistle and keep ya’ll excited about the trip ahead, your three hosts are also sending you home with some wine. So bid high, bid often, and come see how the West HAS won!
