Wine Auction Fundraiser benefiting Cal State East Bay Art, Winecommune.com, Now-4/24

Greeting all,

I just wanted to pop in and inform the group of a fundraiser Teri and I have been working on - a Wine Auction fundraiser for Art!

Recently Teri completed the Bachelors of Fine Art program at California State University East Bay (formerly CSU Hayward, and my alma mater). Teri has been heavily involved in the Art program, and the school had been wanting to do a wine related fund raiser in support of the expansion of the art gallery/museum for some time, but didn't have anyone to head it up - until we came along.

After months of hard work and a lot of help from wineries, winemakers, and Wine Commune, I am pleased to announce the commencement of our Wine for Art Fund raiser wine auction! The auctions are running now, and they will all end the evening of Monday, April 24th. All auction lots can be found here:

Information about the gallery/museum project for which this fund raiser will benefit can be found here:

And the main CSU gallery site is here:

We're very excited about the auction, which will feature many incredible wines from a wide array of producers including many rare large format offerings and exciting mixed lots (please see partial list below). I hope you'll take a few moments to look over the auction lots and bid if you find items of interest to you.

would like to publicly thank the following people for their amazing support and generosity:
