Wine Auction

The Canine Partners For Life 10th Annual Wine Auction
was held on Saturday, December 1, 2007 at The DoubleTree
Hotel in downtown Wilmington, Delaware. This was our
most successful wine auction yet, with over $140,000
being raised for our program! Nearly 250 supporters
turned out for this fabulous dark suit/black tie event.
Don’t think it was a stuffy affair, because the guests were asked to wear a whimsical dog collar! Prizes were awarded to the most original, most decorative, the most fun and the most likely to be “coveted” by a dog.
During the silent auction, guests sampled a selection
of local and international wines while nibbling on
delicious hors d’ oeuvres from the following generous donors.
- Kreston’s Wine and Spirits’
- Moore Brother’s Wine Company
- The Wine and Spirit Company of Greenville
- Twin Brook Winery
- Twin Lakes Brewing Company
- Bixby’s Caterer’s
- Feby’s Fishery
- Janssen’s Market
- P.U.F.F.
- Shaggy’s on Main
- Liz Marden’s Gourmet Cakes and Deserts
- The DoubleTree Hotel
The cocktail hour and silent auction were followed
by a four course meal and live auction. The table
wine was donated by Rosenblum Cellars and Dr.
Kent Rosenblum. We were fortunate to have the
talent of David McDuff of Moore Brother’s Wine Company commentating and David Yearsley as auctioneer who both kept the bidding alive. We auctioned some exciting items including a seven day stay at Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk Resort, a golf package to Colonial Williamsburg and a 2009 Super Bowl XLIII package to Tampa, Florida.
This years wine auction artwork “Ripening Fruits” was created on oil on canvas by the talented Lori Levin of Soulful Studios. A limited number of Glicee prints are still available for purchase from CPL. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!
