  Napa Valley Mustard Festival

Dear Napa Valley Mustard Festival Guests,

Robert Mondavi Winery

The Marketplace at Robert Mondavi Winery was a wonderful event featuring food, wine, music and art in the winery's beautiful and varied spaces on March 14 and 15. It was an adventure to discover Winery Chef Jeff Mosher serving superb cuisine and house made mustard paired with Robert Mondavi vintages in the Spotlight room, with classical music and light jazz; two floors of tasting, art and products with a jazz lounge in the To Kalon Cellar; mustard, gourmet products, fine cuisine, and BBQ in the crush pad tent with blues and boogie woogie; food, wine, and fine art with classical piano in the Vineyard Room; fantastic cuisine and a variety of performances on the Vineyard Room patio; and Italian food with accordion music in the winery's center just outside the retail room. Guests did not mind waiting in line for Filipi's aromatic melt-in-your-mouth pizza! On Saturday, guests also enjoyed KGO Newstalk AM810 and Martha Stewart Living Radio broadcasts.

Guests flocked to Saturday's sun drenched event in unexpected numbers, while Sunday was mellow and less crowded with occasional sprinkles. We offer our sincere apologies to Saturday attendees for much longer than expected waits for shuttles, and appreciate your patience. Sunday's transportation flowed smoothly. In past years, attendance has been most often equally balanced between the two days, while this year an estimated two thirds of our guests opted to attend on Saturday. We feel that this phenomenon was most likely due to predictions of sunshine on Saturday and rain on Sunday. We were taken by surprise not only by the attendance, but by slower that usual traffic on Highway 29 in March, and want to insure you that Robert Mondavi Winery was in no way at fault for the long waits. The winery staff was in fact extremely hospitable and helpful. Hot coffee and hors d'oeuvres at the end of the day for those awaiting the return shuttles were just one of the obvious ways in which they care for guests at Robert Mondavi Winery.

We attribute the success of this year's Napa Valley Mustard Festival, a non-profit community service organization, in large part to Robert Mondavi Winery - due to circumstances and the need for a new location for The Marketplace event, the winery's generously made it possible for the Season of Events to continue intact.

The Festival's Grand Finale Event takes place this coming weekend at Mumm Napa. We are offering two Napa Valley Mustard Festival Grand Finale Specials, which you can view on line at mustardfestival.org - or feel free to call us at 707-938-1133.

We hope to see you at The Mumm Napa Photo Finish this weekend, Saturday March 28. If you cannot make it, you can still enter to win our American Airlines trip to Europe Drawing, which takes place at Saturday's event, and bid on our Le Grand Diner auction lot until May 1.

Until the weekend - or next year, with warm regards,

Summers-McCann Public Relations, Napa Valley Mustard Festival Producer
and The Napa Valley Mustard Festival Board of Directors

Mustard Magic ~ The Grand Opening Event

Saturday, January 31, 2009, 7 pm
The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, St. Helena

Mustard Magic, the opulent grand opening event, will launch the season on Saturday, January 31, 7 pm, at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in St. Helena. The historic three-story stone building sets the stage for dramatic tableaux vivants. Magique de la Moutarde and paintings by European masters will come to life. Entertainment at its finest will complement the living art.

As you stroll through art-filled, candlelit spaces tantalizing tastes of food and wine will entice you at every turn. Take a turn on the dance floor in the barrel room where the Visual Art Competition Exhibit and Silent Auction is surrounded by chefs and winemakers. Visit the teaching kitchen on the third floor for a gourmet buffet and raise your paddle high at the Live Auction to win food and wine experiences you could not otherwise buy. Luxurious trips, art, wine and more will also go to the highest bidders.

Drape yourself in Art Nouveau attire for this extravaganza magnifique. Allow Magique to inspire a fanciful headdress.

“Kenwood Marsh” by Fred Parker


“Summer Fest”

Kenwood Marsh Checkerbloom Society Event

To Benefit the Kenwood Marsh Restoration

Saturday, August 2, 2008

4:00 PM to 7:00 PM

 
The “Summer Fest” will include an overview of the Kenwood Marsh Restoration Project, art show by Fred Parker, Deerfield wines paired with hors d’oeuvres by local chefs, live local music, a checkers tournament, auction, and display of Checkerbloom wine label art.
 
Each ticket holder will receive a signed, limited edition print of the “Kenwood Marsh” by acclaimed, local artist, Fred Parker.  Deerfield Ranch Winery is bottling an artist series of Checkerbloom label wine and the profits will be donated to the restoration effort.  Local artists are invited to submit art inspired by the Checkerbloom flower for this limited edition wine label!  Entries are due by July 31. 
 

·  With a donation of $125 per person (or $200 per couple), you will receive one “Kenwood Marsh” limited edition print (at the event). 

·  With a donation of $50 per person, you will be admitted to the event and without receiving the print. 

·  With a donation of $75 (for those unable to attend the event) you will receive one “Kenwood Marsh” print (with shipping charges and details to be arranged later.) 

Profits from the sale of the limited edition print will be donated by the artist to the restoration effort. 
 
To make reservations for the Summer Fest or to make a donation, please contact Abigail at Deerfield Ranch Winery at 707-833-5215 or email Abigail.Ettinger@...
 
A Note about the Artist: Fred Parker is one of Sonoma’s Treasure Artist of the Year.  His fine art can be found in permanent collections throughout the world, including the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.  Reproduced from an original oil, the “Kenwood Marsh” limited edition giclee print was created using 100% rag paper and pigmented inks – ensuring stability and vibrant color – and would retail for $200 each.  All prints will be signed by the artist and individually numbered.
