34th Annual Korbel Champagne Preview, Wine Tasting & Auction

Presented by Gualala Arts at Gualala Arts Center

Friday 5 pm to 7 pm Korbel Champagne Preview
Saturday 10 am to 3 pm Architectural Tour
Saturday 3 pm to 5:30 pm Wine Tasting & Auction

Everything starts with the Korbel Champagne Preview the Friday before the auction, where people have a chance to put in early bids and view the wines, raffle items, and art exhibits before the tasting on Saturday. Many local wineries and businesses donate premium auction lots such as bottles of award-winning wines, wine related gifts, luxurious lodging packages, golf packages, winery tours, and other great items. Make what you hope to be winning bids on your favorites, knowing that the proceeds will help promote public interest and participation in the arts.  Attend the Korbel Champagne Preview and place your bids early! The champagne preview is free but please make reservations at BrownPaperTickets .

This year’s pouring wineries include:

Carol Shelton Wines

Fort Ross Vineyard & Winery

Frey Vineyards

Gustafson Family Vineyard

Korbel Champagne Cellars

Lazy Creek Vineyards

Wild Hog Vineyards

Woodenhead Wines

Naughty Boy Vineyards

Flowers Vineyards & Winery

Husch Vineyards

The Wine Auction Raffle is always fun and exciting, featuring award-winning artwork and more than $500 in wine and wine related items.  Artist Sandy Ostrau has once again agreed to donate one of her spectacular paintings for the raffle (left, “Beach Walk”). See Sandy’s work at sandyostrau.com.

“An intuitive artist who loves paint as a substance — and who has a tendency to obliterate her imagery with painterly gestures — Ostrau doesn’t go all the way to abstraction. To do so would remove the emotional connection she wants viewers to have with her source material. “I’m not a fully abstract painter,” she explains: “I want people to feel the landscape.” — John Seed, Huffington Post
