Hamel Family Wines, located in the heart of Sonoma Valley, is truly a family affair. George met Pamela in high school in Virginia during their junior year. They married and began their family wine odyssey opening the winery in 2014. Their son, George, III, oversees the sales, financial and business operations, and son John oversees the winegrowing and winemaking.

Gary began working at Korbel Champagne Cellars – then owned by his father, Adolf Heck - in 1965. He eventually became Vice President in 1974, then President in 1982. After his father’s passing, Gary became Chairman of the Board in 1984. Under Gary’s supervision, Korbel champagne sales grew to more than 1.5 million cases annually, making it the largest producer of méthode champenoise champagne in the United States.

Korbel Champagne Cellars was established in 1882 in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley.

JEFF STEWART (HARTFORD FAMILY WINES), MIKE SULLIVAN (BENOVIA WINERY), JOHN HOLDREDGE (HOLDREDGE WINES), TONY LOMBARDI (LOMBARDI WINES), ROD BERGLUND (JOSEPH SWAN VINEYARDS), CELEBRITY CHEF DANIEL KEDAN

LOT INCLUDES:• Once-in-a-lifetime “Monday Standard Reimagined” winemaker lunch

for 5 couples, crafted by celebrity chef Daniel Kedan • Private winemaker tour and tastings with Jeff Stewart of Hartford

Family Wines, Mike Sullivan of Benovia Winery, John Holdredge of Holdredge Wines, Tony Lombardi of Lombardi Wines and Rod Berglund of Joseph Swan Vineyards

• 5 signed, limited production Magnums for each couple• Event Dates: April 8 – 9, 2022

Some years ago, a small group of winemakers began meeting for lunch on Mondays. Their home base was the venerable Backyard Restaurant in Forestville… When Daniel Kedan, chef/owner of Backyard Forestville decided to close recently, the restaurant hosted one last, farewell lunch with Monday Standard alumni and former staff. It was an epic event where stories were told of all the camaraderie, incredible food, legendary wines and, most importantly, the friendships that had been made and strengthened during these communal gatherings. While Backyard’s Monday Standard is no more, these iconic winemakers have decided to bring it back one more time to support Sonoma County Vintners Foundation and its many worthwhile local causes. The winning bidder and their closest friends (five couples) are invited to experience this epic “Monday Standard Reimagined” – joining winemakers Jeff Stewart of Hartford Family Wines, Mike Sullivan of Benovia Winery, John Holdredge of Holdredge Wines, Tony Lombardi of Lombardi Wines and Rod Berglund of Joseph Swan Vineyards, along with celebrity chef Daniel Kedan, for a once-in-a-lifetime, and delicious wine & food throw-down. While the unspoken “rule” of Monday Standard lunches was that the winemakers not bring wines that they had made, a one-time exception will be made for this incredible event, with winery cellar treasures joined by specially selected unicorn wines from each of the winemaker’s personal cellars. In addition, each winery will provide a limited production signed Magnum for each couple (five Magnums from each winery), along with a private tour and tasting for the winning bidders during their weekend stay.

Event dates are April 8 – 9, 2022. Transportation not included. Alternate event dates can be arranged, dependent on availability.

WINE COLLECTION:• 5 signed, limited production Magnums (one from each winery) for

each couple.

acclaimed Mauritson wines at the Rockpile Ridge Vineyard for 20 guests

Invite your family and friends to enjoy an unforgettable fiesta atop the Rockpile AVA. Your group of 20, hosted by Clay Mauritson, will tour the historic Rockpile Ridge Vineyard, taste critically-acclaimed wines and enjoy authentic, slow-cooked Carnitas. Your day begins with a welcome reception, tour and tasting at Mauritson Winery before you head up the ridge to the sweeping vistas of the Rockpile AVA. Learn more about the history of the Mauritson family and this unique appellation during your tour and tasting at Rockpile Ridge Vineyard.While you enjoy acclaimed wines amidst the vines, Mauritson Cellar Master Adrian Reyes will be simmering pork in the cazo, a traditional Michoacán copper pot, and sharing his family recipe for Carnitas. Michoacán is famous across Mexico for its Carnitas, and people there have been preparing the dish in their traditional way for generations. The Michoacán technique for cooking Carnitas is surprisingly simple – all you need is fresh pork, lard, salt, water and a copper cazo (thick-bottomed pot), said to better conduct heat for even cooking, ultimately giving the Carnitas a more intense flavor. The complexity of the dish comes from the chefs’ mastery of heat and the order in which pig parts are cooked. Learn all the family secrets and get ready to enjoy your Carnitas fiesta luncheon, complete with all the fixings and hand-made tortillas. When you descend, with your own copper cazo in hand, you’ll be ready to host fiestas for years to come!

Dates to be mutually agreed upon. Transportation to Rockpile Ridge Vineyard not included.
