WINE OFFERINGS
NAPA VALLEY
Dinner must be scheduled on a mutually agreed date between January 1, 2027 and June 30, 2028. Blackout Dates: September – early November.
At the confluence of Conn Creek and the Napa River, in the heart of Yountville, lies a rare site where water, fog and farming tradition converge to create one of the valley’s most compelling expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. Riverbound Vineyard—an extraordinary parcel stewarded by third-generation farmer and first-generation vigneron, Tom Gamble of Gamble Estates—is the inspiration for this singular Auction Napa Valley lot.
Led by Tom Gamble, seven esteemed Napa Valley producers unite to celebrate the remarkable character of Riverbound Sauvignon Blanc. Bound by two waterways, the vineyard enjoys a naturally cooler microclimate where morning fog lingers longer than in surrounding sites. The result is fruit of remarkable tension, aromatic complexity and structure: Sauvignon Blanc with the depth and longevity collectors rarely expect from the varietal.
This lot offers a rare “single vineyard, multi-vision” experience. All participating wineries source fruit directly from Riverbound, each interpreting the same terroir through its own philosophy and craft. The roster reads like a who’s who of modern Napa Valley winemaking, including Andy Erickson, Julien Fayard, Ashley Hepworth, Maayan Koschitzky, Philippe Melka and Thomas Rivers Brown—a collective of visionary talents shaping the future of Napa Valley wine.
The winning bidder and eleven guests will be welcomed to Tom Gamble’s private River House Estate, overlooking the vineyard itself, for an unforgettable evening. As twilight settles over Riverbound Vineyard, guests will gather for an intimate winemaker dinner celebrating the site’s distinctive expression. A multi-course menu will be prepared by Michelin-starred Chef Kyle Connaughton of SingleThread, whose ingredient-driven approach aligns with Riverbound Vineyard’s regenerative farming philosophy and the purity of Sauvignon Blanc.
Throughout the evening, each winery will pour its flagship Sauvignon Blanc, demonstrating how one vineyard inspires seven extraordinary interpretations. The night promises rare conversation, profound wines and the shared passion of vintners whose families and friendships trace back to the earliest chapters of Napa Valley.
The experience continues long after the evening ends. The winning bidder will take home a 62-bottle collector’s cellar featuring flagship Sauvignon Blanc and red wines from each participating winery, including rare large formats where available.
More than a dinner or a cellar—it is a statement: Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, grown at Riverbound, belongs among the world’s greatest collectible wines.
