What's the Wall of Wine?
The Wall of Wine has been an Auction night fixture for the past five years and it gets better and better every year. Donated bottles of wine with a minimum value of $15 are wrapped, coded Red or White, assigned a random number, and sold on Auction night for $20 a bottle. The true value of most bottles is between $20-50 but there are always a few extra special bottles that pleasantly surprise even the most astute wine enthusiast.
Where is it located on Auction Night & when can we purchase?
This year it will be situated with the Class Projects in the Fireside Room. Be encouraged to make your Wall of Wine purchase early in the evening. We expect to sell out before the night's over. Simply use your bidder number when you make your selection and it will be on your receipt at Check Out.
How can we help?
Bring in a favorite bottle to contribute. We'd love for ever family to bring in at least one bottle. It's not required but the more wine the better!
Our new partners at Great Wine Buys...
This year we are thrilled to announce a partnership with our neighbors at Great Wine Buys on Broadway. They have graciously "sponsored" the Wall of Wine by offering a 20% discount on all wine purchased for the Wall of Wine. Drop into the shop at 1515 NE Broadway and Great Wine Buys will not only help you make a wine selection, but give you all the information you need, and even store the wine to be picked up by the Auction Committee just in time for Auction night.
No time to stop in?
Just give them a call and they'll take your order over the phone. Just let them know you're from the Madeleine and they'll take care of the rest.Great Wine Buys...
