Enjoy a three-liter bottle of the winery's celebrated 2016 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, signed by the winemaker. This blend combines eight individual lots of wine grown at five distinctive vineyard sites.
From the winemaker: The profile is a true cool-climate expression of Pinot Noir-elegant and nuanced in aroma with a palate that's light on its feet. This Pinot is equally comfortable as a before-dinner treat or paired with an early course as part of a sumptuous banquet. Highly expressive, this Pinot has an aroma suffused with Queen Anne cherries, red and gold raspberries, blueberries, and plums. Balancing this abundant fruit is a savory side-aged Italian salami, prosciutto, rosemary, mushroom, and black tea. Notes of Grand Marnier, cinnamon spice, cracked black pepper, and lightly smoked oak add even more depth.

Impress your friends with a bordeaux jeroboam-that's five liters or almost seven standard bottles!-of Castello Banfi's Brunello di Montalcino 2012. The wine has an intense ruby red color, with garnet reflections. Its bouquet is described as ethereal, wide, and light vanilla, with a full, soft, velvety taste, evoking sensations of licorice, spices, and light goudron note.
Brunello di Montalcino is particularly suited for pairing with red meat, game, and aged cheeses.
Nestled between the Orcia and Ombrone rivers in Tuscany, Castello Banfi estate is unique for its wine culture and tradition. A constellation of vineyards dots this 3,000-hectare (7,400-acre) estate and its wines are the result of careful selection from the best of those vineyards.
This classic of Banfi's production comes from 100% Sangiovese grapes, grown more than 700 feet above sea level on the southern hillsides of Montalcino. Meticulous grape selection is followed by vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel and wood tanks. The wine is then aged for two years in French and Slavonian oak barrels and another 8-12 months in the bottle before release. The result is the most aristocratic combination of the ancient and wise wine-making tradition of Montalcino with winemaking modernity.
Provided by Cristina Mariani-May and Banfi Vintners, this is the largest bottle of Brunello di Montalcino produced.
Restrictions: Valid through 4/19/2020. Must be at least 21 years old. Wine will be shipped to the winner, but within the U.S. only.

Arno Schmidt, a CIA trustee emeritus, is a wine lover and collector of fine vintages. From his personal collection comes four special bottles of wine:
Château Margaux was bought by entrepreneur André Mentzelopoulos in 1977. He invested substantially, restored the handsome château, and took on Professor Emile Peynaud as a consultant, leading to swift and lasting improvement in quality. By 1983, his daughter Corinne Mentzelopoulos was essentially in charge, and her appointment of the young Dr. Paul Pontallier as general manager and chief winemaker proved an inspired decision, lending to the first growth an instinctive winemaking flair combined with scientific rigor. Pontallier's first vintage at Margaux was 1983 and this wine's exceptional quality was no coincidence. It is widely accepted that Margaux was the most successful Left Bank Bordeaux commune in 1983.
Although the wines of Pomerol have never been classified, Pétrus is widely regarded as the outstanding wine of the appellation. Pétrus leads a duo of Pomerol estates in extreme prices, along with Le Pin, that rank consistently among the world's most expensive wines. A 750ml bottle of Pétrus wine is priced at an average of $2,630.
Château Lafite-Rothschild is seen as the most aristocratic of the first growths. Purchased by Baron James de Rothschild in 1868, the land's wine history goes back to Roman times, with stops on the best tables of judges of the Middle Ages, King Louis XV, Madame de Pompadour, and the president of the local parliament until he was guillotined during the French Revolution. The property passed from the state to Dutch and British owners before settling with the Rothschilds. The wine is complex and refined. In great vintages, it is also one of the most long-lived wines in the world.
Restrictions: Must be at least 21 years of age. Donation is final and sold "as is" in current condition. Shipping will be arranged directly with Mr. Schmidt.

Chef Jacques Pépin is known around the world for his artistry behind the stove with a knife in his hand. He's also a master behind the easel with a brush in his hand. And now you can be the owner of an original Jacques Pépin painting!
Blue Rooster is a 12 x 9 acrylic on canvas. This one-of-a-kind work of art is Chef Pépin's unique take on one of the national symbols of his native France. French artists have for centuries depicted the "Gallic Rooster" as a subject of their inspiration and as decorative motif. It is seen on coins and even as the emblem on the uniforms of the French national sports teams.
"I have been cooking for more than 60 years, and I have been painting sporadically for half a century," Chef Pépin says. "Both are part of who I am, how I feel, and how I react to a sensual or esthetic experience."
Restrictions: Offer expires 5/1/2020. Shipping to the winner is included.
Kitchen Team is a 20 x 14 acrylic on paper. This one-of-a-kind work of art combines the craftsmanship of Chef Pépin's métier with his avocation. Teamwork is a necessary ingredient in the success of any restaurant kitchen and this unique painting is Chef Pépin's interpretation of the collaboration that restaurant guests seldom see.
"Food has an evanescent quality and when it is consumed, it remains only in your memory," says Chef Pépin. "In painting, however, the visual is the most important and essential attribute and the painting is there, concrete and solid, to be looked at over and over again."
