Lot #19 – Goodnight Sun Valley
20th Anniversary Collection

To celebrate the 20th year of this beloved Wine Auction lot, Sharon Pyle of Atkinsons’ Market has teamed up again with local artist Jennifer Bellinger and Fresh Northwest Design of Gig Harbor, Washington on a special collaboration for the Sun Valley Wine Auction that takes place over the course of a whole year. Jennifer Bellinger has painted an original oil scene of this year’s theme… Goodnight Sun Valley’s majestic neighbor, Bald Mountain. Seven Imperial-sized bottles of specially crafted Northwest red wines will be etched and painted with her beautiful visual narrative of the iconic peak.

Sun Valley Center for the Arts holds a special place in the hearts of the owners and staff of Atkinsons’ Market. And as a special bonus to mark this momentous year, the winner of tonight’s lot will also take home the original piece of artwork by Jennifer Bellinger, a scene of a joyous winter holiday. In addition, five of the participating Washington State vineyards invite you and a companion to join them for a variety of tours and tastings as well as lunch at Woodward Canyon’s Reserve House Restaurant. This meeting of the minds results in a perfect way to celebrate the arts and the wines of the Walla Walla, Columbia, and Yakima Valleys. To begin your journey through Washington, stay at the iconic Fairmont Olympic for 2 nights before heading into Wine country. Celebrate along with these Northwest gems and 20 years of the Atkinsons’ Lot.

Col Solare Red Wine, 2009, Columbia Valley
