This particular auction took place at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hospicedurhone.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hospice du Rhone<\/a>, the auctioneer is Todd Ventura and the emcee is Cris Cherry of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.villacreek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Villa Creek Restaurant<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.villacreekwine.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Villa Creek Winery<\/a>. These two really did a great job and entertained the crowd, but more importantly money was being raised to help support Hospice du Rhone.<\/p>\n<p>In this specific part of the auction, a dinner prepared by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.albanvineyards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">John Alban<\/a> and Vicki Carroll paired with Rhone wines gets auctioned off for a cool $6,000 and then Justin Smith of<a href=\"http:\/\/www.saxumvineyards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Saxum Winery<\/a> had donated a 3 liter hand painted bottle of 2008 Bone Rock James Berry Vineyard, which ended up going for $4,300!!! And no, we weren\u2019t the ones that bought either (damn it)!
