- Lot 27 – Cakebread Cellars
2008 Sauvignon Blanc- Gold medal award winner at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine competition.
2008 Sauvignon Blanc- This lightly fragrant sauvignon has the classic “cat pee on a gooseberry bush” character of the grape. It’s clean and tart wine to serve with pasta tossed with English peas. 90 points, Wine & Spirits.
2005 Zinfandel- Peppery spice is the hallmark of this wine. Other than that, it’s very Cabernet-like. Dry, full-bodied and balance, it shows luscious black currant and chocolate flavors, and the tannins are smooth and ripe as anywhere on earth. 92 points, Wine Enthusiast

[How it works- Each auction lot will get its own post. As soon as it gets its own post, the auction is live. Once a bit of time has passed, and people really know about Wine for Haiti, lots will go live AND HOT. Once hot, each lot is on a 24-hour cycle, ending at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If a lot goes a full 24 hours, from 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., without a new bid, the last bid in the comments wins. If we get into a bidding war, with the same people going back and forth, one day at a time, we will post something in the comments of that Auction Lot and schedule a time to bid to the death, at a time mutually agreeable to everybody involved.]
