Wines
of Woodinville Collectors Cases, 2008
Packaging options;
marketing and fund-raising goals
Option
1 – The Paul Gregutt Edition
A 12-bottle case of
the specific Woodinville wines selected as Paul Gregutt’s
favorite 100 Washington wines for 2007 (Two or three cases
on this packaging) The Wineries wines, in order of his
selection, included: Chateau Ste. Michelle (2)(51), DeLille (8),
Betz (10), Matthews (16), Novelty Hill (22), Mark Ryan (29),
Stevens (30), Col Solare (39), Januik (43), Doyenne (46), Brian
Carter Cellars (60), DesVoigne Cellars (67), Cuillin Hills (69),
Woodinville Wine Cellars (95).
Option
2 - Wine’n Shine
Scholarship Edition
An 18-bottle case of wines
donated (in case lots) by 18 members of Woodinville Wine Country (One
dozen cases of this 18-bottle edition). These would be
packaged in two, nine-bottle wood boxes carrying the logo of Wines
of Woodinville Collector Case 2008, Fifth Edition. We should try
and sell a number of these in the spring after Passport Weekend,
beginning on Earth Day at the Rotary meeting through the
installation dinner in June. We agree to deliver the two boxes in
view of the bulk and weight.
Option
3 -
Boutique Edition
A 12-bottle case made
up of wines donated by wineries that did not contribute a full
case of wine. These will be packaged in such a way as to include
several really premium wines to be included in the scholarship
boutique edition. Each of the cases would be given a name with the
list of wines included so that bidders could select which mixed
case appealed to them most. The number of these cases will depend
on the success of getting some of the wineries to donate between
three and six bottles but not necessarily a full case due to
product availability.
GOAL:
Generate sufficient income to add to the Wine Industry
Scholarship Endowment and provide $3,000 scholarships in 2009 at
Washington State University and Walla Walla Community College for
their viticulture and enology programs. We will earmark a
substantial amount of the income from the collector cases to go
for those purposes.
