Dear guests,

Welcome to our annual Cork & Barrel wine event series!

This year, we’re going back to our roots—featuring wineries from Walla Walla Valley. This up-and-coming wine region was also the focus of our very first Cork & Barrel in 2012. If you’re a long-time fan of Cork & Barrel, you’ll see old friends and new faces in the 14 wineries joining us this year. We are exceedingly grateful to these wineries—and the owners and winemakers who’ve traveled down to Bend—for participating in this year’s event.

Cork & Barrel was voted “Best Central Oregon Fundraiser” by readers of The Source Weekly just last year. Our event’s popularity is due in large part to the incredible wineries, chefs, restaurants, donors, and hundreds of volunteers who make Cork & Barrel fun and memorable. We are also deeply grateful to Riverhouse on the Deschutes for hosting us again this year.

Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, every dollar you donate or spend at Cork & Barrel goes directly toward child abuse evaluations, family support and advocacy, therapy, and education to prevent abuse. You and hundreds of your fellow community members help raise approximately 20 percent of KIDS Center’s $3.3 million annual operating budget. By joining us today, you’re making it possible for Central Oregon children and families to receive free, life-changing services, helping them to overcome the devastating effects of abuse.

Please join us in raising a glass—and your bid number—to give hope and healing to children when they need it most. Thank you for joining us at Cork & Barrel. Have a wonderful time!

Cheers!

How help.

You’re here at Cork & Barrel, and

you’re making a difference.

Over the last ten years, Cork & Barrel attendees have netted $4.8 million to help Central Oregon children overcome the devastating effects of abuse.

Every ticket sold, every auction item purchased, every donation made at Cork & Barrel powers community child abuse prevention programs and funds critical services for children impacted by abuse. Thanks to you and the 6,350 people who have attended Cork & Barrel these past ten years, local families can receive child abuse evaluations, family advocacy, and healing therapy at no cost.

You are helping break the cycle of abuse and giving hundreds of children the chance to heal and experience a brighter future.

Thank you! Tonight, the legacy continues!

Cork & Barrel’s impact on the community.

This annual fundraiser supports child abuse services for families in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties. Cork & Barrel enables KIDS Center to extend free therapy to siblings and non-offending caregivers— so the whole family can heal. Over the years, Cork & Barrel attendees like you have helped thousands of local families find hope and healing.

These services require coordination beforehand with families and community partners, and also require extensive documentation and reporting. After the evaluation, children, siblings and non-offending caregivers can take advantage of healing therapy at no cost for as long as they need it.

Welcome Back!

Amavi Cellars

Amavi Cellars participated in our very first Cork & Barrel event (11 years ago!). Amavi’s name is distilled from three special words: amor, vita and vinum. Amavi signifies love, life and wine! Amavi wines are 100% estate grown. Amavi’s vineyards produce some of the most sought-after grapes in the state. Amavi is a dedicated steward of the land, and a leader in sustainable agriculture. Amavi’s meticulous Swiss winemaker, Jean-François Pellet, characterizes his time at Amavi as “a great adventure.” The estate’s Syrah and Sémillon reflect Pellet’s passion for a wine region unlike anywhere else in the world.

Welcome Back!

Bledsoe Family Winery

During his 14-year football career, Drew Bledsoe had a post-game plan. Upon his retirement in 2007, he returned to his hometown, Walla Walla, to plant his original estate vineyard, McQueen, on the southern end of the Walla Walla Valley AVA. In 2008, Drew and his wife, Maura, set out to produce world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Their very first vintage was named a Wine Spectator Top 100 Wine of the World. Josh McDaniels, also born and raised in Walla Walla, serves as the CEO & Director of Winemaking and was named a “Top 40 Under 40 Tastemakers of America” from Wine Enthusiast magazine. Bledsoe opened a Wine Lounge in Bend in 2019.

Caprio Cellars

For owner and winemaker Dennis Murphy, Caprio Cellars continues his family’s passion for wine. “My ancestors viewed wine as an essential part of daily life. Sanitella, my great grandmother, knew each family in her small Italian neighborhood by their homemade wine. For her, a person’s very character was built on the quality of their craft.”

Caprio Cellars makes Bordeaux varietal blends using moderate French oak, and produces 2,000 cases per year.

Isenhower Cellars was founded in 1999 by Denise and Brett Isenhower and was the 18th winery in Walla Walla. Denise is the General Manager and Brett is the Winemaker. Brett researched every state in the West and chose Washington because of the wideopen, entrepreneurial nature of the wine business.

Pambrun Wines

Pambrun makes elegant, terroir-driven wines from their estate and neighboring SeVein vineyards. Located on the Oregon side of the Walla Walla Valley, SeVein is a collection of some of the highest quality vineyard land in the world, anchored by the renowned Seven Hills Vineyard.

Pepper Bridge Winery

Named a Top Family Winery by Wine & Spirits, Pepper Bridge built the first state-of-the-art, gravity-flow facility in Washington state, complete with subterranean caves. Grape pulp and juice are moved from the sorting table to the tanks to the barrels via gravity, rather than by pumps. This gentle treatment of the grapes prevents the shearing of seeds and the introduction of bitter tannins. As a result, the wines have elegant textures and exquisite flavor profiles. Pepper Bridge’s Swiss Winemaker, Jean-François Pellet, is the winery’s creative force and innovator.

Since 1999, Three Rivers has been producing handmade wines from the remote and arid Columbia Valley AVA in Eastern Washington. The fruit comes from some of the region’s most prestigious vineyards. Their wines are defined by moderate alcohols, firm structures, and varietal accuracy… concentrated, ripe and juicy without being overblown or heavy-handed.

Valdemar Estates

Valdemar’s vineyard is located within the portion of The Rocks District in the Walla Walla Valley AVA. The Rocks is well known for its deep soils of weathered cobble stones in the ancient riverbed of the Walla Walla River. Here, the growing season is compressed and intense, with added heat radiating from the stones in the summer. These unique conditions give Valdemar’s wines a distinct aromatic profile.

Hand-crafted Exotic Wood Paddleboard

This is your chance to own one of the most unique—and most stunning—paddle boards in existence!

“Tiger Diagonals” is a beautiful, hand-crafted African Mahogany paddle board, with veneer work by Tom Trunk, the top veneer artist in North America. He incorporated Zebrawood, black-eyed Castello, Fumed Eucalyptus and Maple to create this one-of-a-kind board.

Tête de Cuvée Champagne–4 Bottles of the Best of the Best!!

Cue the applause! This auction lot is about to POP off the charts! One exceptionally lucky bidder will win 4 bottles of the best of the best Champagne, including two bottles from 2008, the most important vintage in the history of Champagne! These bottles will be hallmark wine additions. Our “best of the best” features 2 bottles of Dom Pérignon, a luxury brand that needs no introduction, and 2 bottles of Cristal, the icon of bubbles and bling. As if it couldn’t get any better, two of the bottles are of the 2008 vintage, widely considered to be the very best vintage of the century—thanks to that year’s ideal grape growing conditions which resulted in a superior wine. The 2008 “Chef de Cave’’ Dom Pérignon celebrates the passing of the torch from Moet and Chandon’s esteemed cellar master (Chef de Cave) Richard Geoffroy to his successor, Vincent Chaperon, who both share a vision of excellence for Dom Pérignon. The 2008 Cristal is an exquisite wine that received two 100-point scores.

This lot was procured by a generous friend of KIDS Center and longtime wine collector who guarantees the provenance of these very special bottles.

This exquisite lot is something to celebrate!

2023 Visionary Leadership Award

JEFF KLEIN

Our community is safer because of Jeff’s dedication to children and families in Central Oregon. As a KIDS Center supporter for more than 20 years, he served on the Board of Directors for over 10 years with half of those as the Board Chair. Always wanting to make sure every child who needed services would receive them, Jeff helped develop one of KIDS Center’s first major fundraisers, Holiday Wonder. He then worked on the Healing Hearts Luncheon and helped plan the first Cork & Barrel. Jeff’s family was involved in these efforts every step of the way, reflecting how central his family is to his life. Even today, years removed from his lengthy board tenure, Jeff remains very involved as a sponsor of Healing Hearts and Cork & Barrel. It’s a lifestyle for Jeff to share the mission and impact of KIDS Center with those he meets, hoping they too will want to join the effort to end child abuse.

Thank you, Jeff, for giving the gift of your service to our community. Thousands of lives have been made better because of you!
