The V Foundation smashed fundraising records again

The V Foundation smashed fundraising records again, raising a staggering $21 million in the fight against cancer this weekend at the Wine Celebration in Napa Valley’s Wine Country! This landmark year marked the 25th anniversary of this exceptional celebrity charity event. The V Foundation, a charitable fundraising initiative inspired by Jim Valvano’s iconic speech at the ESPYS, aims to accelerate victory over cancer. Founded by the legendary basketball coach, Jimmy V, this event would undoubtedly make him proud. Witnessing the dedication of the people who run and support the V Foundation is remarkable, as they strive to fulfill the goal of fighting the big fight against cancer. This year, the V Foundation achieved its biggest fundraising milestone yet! It holds a special place in everyone’s heart as we celebrate a quarter-century of excellence in battling cancer. The final event of this extraordinary celebration took place at Nickel and Nickel Winery, where we honored the contributions of Beth Nickel and her late husband, Gil, in making the Wine Celebration a resounding success. Their efforts truly deserve a lifetime achievement award. With Coach “K” leading the way and hosting a weekend full of events, it was another iconic victory in our quest to find a cure.

Wine Country is never one to pass up on a celebration! Since the organization first began throwing parties in Napa Valley, the V Foundation has raised millions of dollars by raising a glass and raising an auction paddle in the fight against cancer. That’s right - wine + giving back. A perfect pairing.
If you have experienced the losses and heartache that cancer can bring, you’ve probably felt like joining the fight. The fight to find a cure. Now in its 25th year in Napa - the V Foundation Wine Celebration is looking to Go Big or Go Home.
With Coach “K” leading the way and hosting the weekend of events - it is guaranteed to be big and full of the fabulous style antics that only he can bring. His mission is focused: fund game-changing research to accelerate Victory Over Cancer®. If anyone was perfectly placed to win the big game - it would be Mike “Coach K” Krzyzewski, Former Duke Head Coach Men’s Basketball.
Joining him on the Wine Celebration Team this year are Famed Restaurateurs & Award-Winning Chefs - Superstar Musicians and Performers - World-Class Vintners - Grant Honorees and Rockstar Auctioneer John Curley. A three day weekend packed with adventures and experiences in food and wine. It is looking to be a huge success again in 2023!
The V Foundation for Cancer Research is a top-rated cancer research charity. They empower early-career researchers to be fearless in pursuits of new cancer therapies. This annual event raises millions for cancer research. 100% of direct donations are used to fund projects. “Today’s Cancer Research is Tomorrow’s Victory.”
Cancer research grants are awarded to innovative researchers with the most cutting-edge ideas on how to improve cancer diagnosis methods, prevent cancer recurrences or defeat cancer. Thanks to the V Foundation’s endowment that covers administrative expenses, the organization ensures that every single penny supports game-changing cancer research.
Highlights from fun and shenanigans here are from last year’s celebration. Follow along here on social media as I do it all again this weekend! Or better yet, donate, contribute, give back and attend with us all!! LINK IN BIO ⬆️

The V Foundation Raises Over $6.5 Million for Canc

The V Foundation Raises Over $6.5 Million for Cancer Research! It was a big win in the fight against cancer this weekend in Wine Country!!

This year’s annual Napa Valley Wine Celebration really showed that the continued success of The V Foundation is, in large part, due to the overwhelming dedication from their supporters and partners. It goes without saying that donors play a big role in the success of any fundraising event. The attendees were a close-knit group. This was a reunion gathering that they looked forward to each year.

Watching the numerous supporters come together to raise this remarkable contribution was inspiring. Guests all raved about the quality of the occasion. Their reactions were heartfelt when they spoke about The V Foundation and bespoke wine experiences offered.

Much camaraderie and genuine enthusiasm about the future and making real change was the theme. Choose Courage. These same guests had attended multiple years, some since its inauguration in 1999. This coming year, 2023, will be the 25th anniversary of the Wine Celebration. It sells out far in advance.

The energy, vivacity and unwavering dedication of supporters really speaks to the efforts of the team who puts it all together. It was the perfect mix of education, entertainment and community. Don’t forget the wine + those views! Let’s “Beat Up Cancer” was heard often.

Learning more about cancer research in such a stunning travel destination spot is a transformative experience for anyone. Especially those with a story. Everyone has a cancer story to tell. Whether it is your own story or the tale of helping a friend or family member. Cancer has touched many of us in some way.

29 years ago, cancer diagnosis & prognosis were not as optimistic as today. With research supported by @thevfoundation, there are now earlier diagnoses, a better understanding of what causes some cancers, & therapies designed to kill cancer while also preserving a patient’s overall health.

100% Estate Grown, sustainably farmed in the renow

100% Estate Grown, sustainably farmed in the renowned Rutherford growing region in the heart of Napa Valley. Certified Green. Yes, please. You are what you drink.

This weekend, I was tickled pink. A lovely bottle and perfect pairing for the California heat and the flowers blooming. Aromas of raspberry and strawberry that are complemented by hibiscus and rose petal. Raspberry and strawberry flavors continue on the palate and are framed by nuances of pomegranate and watermelon. A darker colored rosé bottle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FUN FACT: It is not known when the first wine labeled as a rosé was produced, but it is very likely that many of the earliest red wines made were closer in appearance to today's rosés than they would be to modern red wines.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is because many of the winemaking techniques used to make today's darker, more tannic red wines (such as extended maceration and harder pressing) were not widely practised in ancient winemaking. Both red and white wine grapes were often pressed soon after harvest, (with very little maceration time) by hand, feet or even sack cloth, creating juice that was only lightly pigmented.

Have YOU tasted wines from New Zealand? It is important to remember that ...

For over 20 years now, Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) has been globally recognized as leading the world in their sustainability efforts. You are drinking wines crafted with GREAT CARE from grape to glass. These sustainability efforts were one of the first of their kind on the International scene. Currently, the programme has gained notoriety for… since 2019, showing that 98% of New Zealand’s vineyard producing area is SWNZ certified. A feat that is unmatched by any “voluntary” efforts around the world!!

New Zealand is Committed to Protecting the Places that Make Their Wines Famous. It is the PLACE that makes their fabulous vineyards thrive. So they protect it. For now, for future generations and for us, the consumers of their product.

With sooo much riding on the health and stability of soils on an island location, viticulturists in New Zealand continue to lead the way in employing sustainable practices to preserve and enhance this vital substance… the land. They also take a leading role in conservation of wildlife and the environment where they plant.

In the vineyards and the surrounding beyond. For instance, water management focuses on minimizing the amount of water used for cleaning and the management of ensuing wastewater – from treatment, through to recycling and water discharge. 98% of vineyards in NZ used monitoring techniques in the vineyard to optimize applications.

The point I am trying to make here is… DRINK MORE NEW ZEALAND WINE 🍾🥂🍷 CHEERS

Wait for it...

Plus... Plenty of Tasting 🥂🥂🥂
Work, work, work.

Ha! In reality, there is sooo much more that goes into creating each & every Bottle... From grape to glass, it's an art form & a scientific process combined.

Today, we were just having fun & chatting about how awesome this label is. It takes a LOT to choose the Perfect Name for a new wine. We loved that this label shows the process that went into brainstorming the new Sauvignon Blanc from Laurel Glen Vineyard.

Blanc Slate. Yep, best choice.
