The Lehigh Valley Wine Auction and Gala, known and respected for noted winemakers from around the world serving as honorary chairs, is pleased to welcome Todd Anderson as the 2014 Honorary Chair of the Lehigh Valley Wine Gala, and Kirk Wesley Hubbard and Denise Mary Selyem as the 2014 Honorary Chairs of the Lehigh Valley Wine Auction.
The Lehigh Valley Wine Auction and Gala benefits The Children’s Home of Easton and the Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society. Now in its eighth year, these organizations, two of the area’s oldest and most respected institutions, are partnering once again for this unique and prestigious event featuring world renowned vintners and premier wines to benefit children. The events are co-chaired by Mike Molewski and Andy Daub. “Over the past seven years the Wine Auction and Gala has raised over one million dollars, helping these non-profit organizations serve children through residential and educational programs,” added Mike Molewski.
The Lehigh Valley Wine Auction and Gala is grateful to all the sponsors that have made these events successful and are pleased to announce that once again Air Products and PPL Corporation have taken the lead with sponsoring at the Grand Cru level.
The Lehigh Valley Wine Gala will be held on Saturday, October 18, 2014. Todd Anderson travels the world with a vision of helping people enjoy his wine through education and adventure, and as Honorary Chair he will be in attendance at the gala. Featuring a dinner with food and wine pairings from Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards, gala guests will have the opportunity to bid for unique wine lots and one-of-a-kind experiences. In addition to Conn Valley Vineyards, Todd Anderson produces a very rare Cabernet wine from a second vineyard, Ghost Horse. These wines have achieved cult status, typically priced from $1,000 to $5,000 per bottle, and available only to members of the Ghost Horse Wine Club. The gala is an exclusive evening for corporate sponsors and guests and the event is sold out.
“The Lehigh Valley Wine Auction will be held at the historic State Theatre on November 15 and will include stations of food and wine pairings from five of Easton’s most prominent restaurants, including Maxim’s 22, Sette Luna, Mesa Modern Mexican, and 3rd & Ferry Fish Market” said Andy Daub. Guests will have the opportunity to bid on 40 live auction lots and 30 silent auction lots featuring wine, fine dining and wine experiences. Tickets are $75 and the public is invited to attend, to enjoy the best of food and wine while supporting the work of two very worthy organizations.
New this year is a VIP reception at the Sigal Museum preceding the Wine Auction at the State Theatre. Honorary Chairs, Kirk Wesley Hubbard and his wife Denise Mary Selyem, of WesMar Winery will be on hand to greet guests. Specializing in Pinot Noirs, their philosophy is to use the best fruit available, harvest it at the correct time, and utilize old world methods of production. Wines are allowed to settle and clear naturally. Wine Patron tickets are available for $150 and include admission to the VIP reception and the wine auction.
