WineBid.com, the premier Internet auction of fine and rare wines, is proud to partner with the Napa Valley Vintners on its annual fundraiser, Auction Napa Valley. This year is the 30th anniversary of the auction, known as the American Wine Classic. The event raises money for healthcare, youth service and affordable housing non-profit programs through its online four-week E-Auction, and through Barrel and Live Auctions held in Napa Valley June 3-6 this year. Although 2010 is the first year that WineBid.com has been a partner of the Napa Valley Vintners’ charity auction, WineBid.com has for many years participated in the trade association’s Premiere Napa Valley, a mid-winter barrel tasting and auction for those in the wine trade.
“We are pleased to support the 2010 Auction Napa Valley, which provides funding for charitable organizations supported by the Napa Valley Vintners,” said Jerome Zech, WineBid.com’s Chief Executive Officer. “Napa Valley is our nation’s premier wine producing region and at WineBid.com we understand that it is vital to support the local community in order to ensure the continued excellence of Napa Valley wines.”
Founded in 1981, Auction Napa Valley is the world’s most successful charity wine auction having given $90 million to date to these deserving non-profits. For more information on Auction Napa Valley visit the website at www.napavintners.com
