Napa Valley, July 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The exclusive auction lots for Jameson Animal Rescue Ranch’s (JARR’s) annual WineaPAWlooza fundraiser are now available. The money raised from this event’s treasured lots help raise the critical funds necessary for JARR to stem the tide of animal deaths from euthanasia and solve some of the most pressing problems regarding animal abandonment and maltreatment, and the negative impact on the environment.
This year’s lots feature 16 unique contributions from some of Napa Valley’s most exquisite and famed wineries and vintners, along with immersive wine experiences that are only offered through this event. Here are just a few of the treats included within the lots:
- A three-pack of 100-point 2007 Scarecrow
- A double magnum of 1998 Screaming Eagle, which Robert Parker called “the ultimate collector’s Cabernet Sauvignon”
- 30 magnums of Beckstoffer-bred wine drawn from the vineyards of To Kalon, Dr. Crane, Las Piedras, George III, and Missouri Hopper
Also included is a very special Fund-A-Need lot (JARR’s Moonshot). This lot is specifically focused on supporting the construction of a sustainable ranch, to deliver to the world a fully sustainable working model for animal advocacy and rescue that will serve as a blueprint for other change leaders, with the goal of replicating it 100 times over the next five years.
As of today, these lots can be bid on through a proxy bidding process. Proxy bidding is a great way for those of you outside of the Napa Valley area to show your commitment and support for Jameson’s animal advocacy and welfare work.
The auction lots help round out a spectacular night hosted by Michael Uytengsu, including a grand tasting and dinner menu prepared by guest celebrity chef Casey Thompson (former star of Bravo’s reality show Top Chef). The evening’s high-energy live auction is led by world-famous wine auctioneer Fritz Hatton and will prove to be an epic and fun performance, as it has in years past.
Because of evenings like these and the money raised from past auction lots, JARR has been able to help 12,000 animals and their humans in our community and beyond through vital animal programs. This year’s lots will help ensure these programs stay running and we continue to affect real change.
For questions regarding the live auction lots or the proxy bidding process, please email Cofounder, Monica Stevens, monica@jamesonrescueranch.org.
