30TH ANNIVERSARY COMMEMORATIVE MAGNUM
A 30th anniversary is a big deal, so we’ve made a big gesture with a Commemorative Magnum to celebrate the occasion. That’s a full 1.5 liters of Silver Oak Cellars 2006 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in a keepsake bottle etched by Fresh Northwest Design with original 30th Anniversary Wine Auction artwork and presented in a handsome branded wooden box.
Intensely flavored with a velvety texture, this wine was crafted to ensure longevity and is guaranteed to prompt rejoicing whenever you choose to open it. Even when the bottle is empty you’ll remember the grand 30th anniversary celebration and the good work of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts. Your purchase of a Commemorative Magnum helps keep The Center’s arts and humanities programming affordable to everyone.
Quantity is limited so order yours now! |
