Cork Dork: Washington Wine Auction Raises $1.5M for Children's Hospital
Wine in moderation is good for the health of adults according to Seattle surgeon Richard Baxter.
“(Wine) has remarkable anti-aging properties and there is powerful scientific evidence that it holds the key to preventing everything from cancer to cavities,” said Baxter, cosmetic physician and author of Age Gets Better with Wine.
During the three-day stretch of Aug. 18-20, adults drinking wine at Chateau Ste. Michelle were good for the healthcare of children in the Northwest region. The 24th-annual Auction of Washington Wines and its associated events in Woodinville and around the Puget Sound area raised more than $1.5 million with proceeds benefiting Seattle Children’s Hospital and the Washington Wine Education Foundation.
The festivities included a Picnic & Barrel Auction at Chateau Ste. Michelle on Aug. 18, private winemaker dinners around the Puget Sound region on Aug. 19 and The Covey Run around the Sammamish Valley and The Wine Gala at Chateau Ste. Michelle on Aug. 20.
“It is an honor to serve as co-chair for the Auction of Washington Wines,” said Rick Small, 2011 Auction co-chair, and founder and winemaker of Woodward Canyon Winery. “Year after year, I am amazed by the incredible generosity of Washington winemakers, growers, and the wine-loving community.”
The highest selling auction lots included a one-week cruise on a three-bedroom penthouse aboard The World, a privately-owned yacht, with Betz Family Winery that sold for $25,000. Dinner for 10 at Col Solare on Red Mountain with Chateau Ste. Michelle President and CEO Ted Baseler sold twice for $20,000 each. Dinner for 12 at RN74 prepared by James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Mina and paired with Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon sold for $18,000.
The Raise-the-Paddle portion of the auction raised $500,000 for uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s.

Fighting Resistance
The painting of the woman shown above had been sketched and put aside for months until my daughter Nicole pushed me to work on it together. We finished it in about 35 minutes and it felt great!
I purchased this chair on Craig’s list several months ago but didn’t like the color. I painted it a very light blue and re-upholstered it with a blue velvet. It’s my new office chair. Here’s a before and after picture.
