These stunning pottery pieces were lovingly handcrafted by DRC's beloved board member, Felise Levine.

Felise created and generously donated these beautiful pieces to raise funds for research to cure type 1 diabetes (T1D) - the disease that she lived with for almost 60 years, and the disease that ultimately caused complications that took her life last month.

Felise was a remarkable and accomplished woman. In addition to her service on the Diabetes Research Connection (DRC) Board of Directors, Felise was a well-respected clinical psychologist and a pillar in the Del Mar community, serving in the past as President of Del Mar Community Connections and President of the San Diego Psychological Association.

This evening, we pay tribute to our beloved board member whose life and dedication to DRC's mission leaves an indelible mark on our hearts. Her absence is profoundly felt by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

In honor of her memory, we proudly present her exquisite ceramics as a special addition to our auction. They are Felise's parting gift and hopeful reminder for us to continue moving forward in our mission to create a world without type 1 diabetes.

(We will Felise... we will!)

2009 Vineyard 29 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, 92 pts

Vineyard 29 strives to create wines that are the highest representation of the vineyard and the climate in each particular year. They apply the Old World theory of "elevage" - raising each vintage as one would raise a child - giving both the vines and the wines gentle care and attention.

Producer tasting notes: "Our 2009 '29 Estate' Cabernet Sauvignon is a deeply saturated, jewel-toned wine. A seductive nose displays aromas of black cassis, lifted violets and dark chocolate shavings. Gentle swirling coaxes further notes of cigar box and potpourri which set the stage for a stunning palate layered with flavors of cedar, cracked black pepper, black licorice and bergamot. This vineyard has always produced a wine of extraordinary texture and the 2009 vintage is no exception. Firm tannins support a velvety structure with richness and depth that create a lengthy and full-bodied finish." - Vineyard 29

According to Wine Advocate, "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard 29 Estate (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a huge wine graced with exceptional balance. Ripe, silky tannins provide the backdrop for expressive dark red fruit, spices and flowers. The 2009 is seamless and impeccable from start to finish. There is no shortage of personality and sheer character in this gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon. (AG)"
