Foundation For Packaging Education Holds Napa Valley Fundraising Event
On July 16, 43 box makers, suppliers, friends, and spouses gathered for a reception at the Silverado Resort in Napa, California during the Foun- dation for Packaging Education’s second fundraising event in the heart of California wine country. The reception opened with wonderful food and a wide variety of wines, including those from Sanglier Cellars. This winery is a passion project of Jana Harris of Harris Packaging and her husband, Zach Camp- bell, who served as the sommelier for the evening. Day two saw about half the group tee off on the Silverado’s esteemed golf course, which hosts a PGA Tour event each year. The Foundation’s golfers lived up the course’s slogan, “the perfect game isn’t determined by your scorecard, but by where and who you play with.”

Day three began with brunch, followed by a tour and tasting at Cha- teau Montelena. It was this winery’s 1973 Chardonnay that stunned the world by winning the “Judgement of Paris” in 1976 where a California winery, for the first time, bested French wines in blind taste tests. This beautiful property was a great setting for enjoying several different vari- eties of their fine wines. Back on the bus, the group went to Beringer Brothers Winery, not- ed for being in continuous operation from 1876 until today, including through Prohibition, when the winery had permission to lawfully produce sacramental wines. The visit to this lovely property began with a wine welcome, followed by a delicious lunch, and then a tour and tasting in Beringer’s renowned Castle and cave-based cellars.
