About the Auction of Washington Wines
Tasting Room Magazine is a sponsor of the 2012 Auction of Washington Wines, and we extend a special thanks to two of the major sponsors whose support make this event possible: Viking Range/Gateway Appliance Distributing and Tulalip Resort Casino. Since its inception in 1988, the Auction of Washington Wines has raised more than $26 million, with a majority benefitting uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. This distinguished event gives wine lovers the chance to help the Washington wine industry bridge a critical funding gap for children across the Northwest. The 25th Anniversary Chair of Chairs is Rick Holley and the 2012 Auction Co-chairs are Bob Betz of Betz Family Winery and Stein Kruse, president & CEO of Holland America Line and chairman of Seabourn.
