CONTINUED FROM Page 12 al warming. He concluded his presentation by answering questions from the audience. Next in this series will be Charles Hartford, who (at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 29) will speak about the successful rescue of an American POW. The Riford Center, 6811 La Jolla Blvd., will celebrate its 40th anniversary this May. By then, current remodeling efforts are expected to be complete, and it’s rumored that
a name change will be made.

A half-mile north of the Riford is The Bishop’s School, a college prep school for about 800 students in grades 6-12. An annual auction raises about $1 million to benefit the school’s need-based financial aid programs and faculty professional growth. Bridget Musante, Kelly Dorvillier and Melissa Swanson will chair the April 21 auction, titled “Disco Knights,” a flashback to the disco era. Exceptional wines are a favored auc-
tion component. They won’t be found at BevMo, so Amanda and Troy Latimer (whose son attends Bishop’s) hosted a “Tastings Party” at their lovely La Jolla home, and each of the 110 guest couples was asked to bring a bottle of 95-point (or higher) wine. Donations — including a 1983 Dom Pérignon, a 1984 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet and much more — will ensure a successful wine auction in April. Partygoers were well rewarded for their generosity with myriad food and
libations donated by noted caterers. Giuseppe’s served numerous fine hors d’oeuvres and a refreshing “Tuscan pear” cocktail of vodka, blood orange juice and ginger liqueur. The La Valencia made tasty, tender braised short ribs. Cucina Urbana brought a great oxtail dish and The Fish Market served fresh-shucked oysters. Campine (a culinary and cocktail conspiracy involving chefs Andrew Spurgin, Antonio Friscia and Brian Malarkey, plus Snake Oil Cocktail Co.) produced unusual original dishes and drinks. Something
Homemade and Elegant Events added further sweets and savories to the eclectic mix. Everyone seemed to have a great time, but none more than Zeke (“Zeekee”), one of the Latimers’ two Bengal cats. Her sister, Bindi (known as “the hunter”), was presumably resting up for the next kill, but Zeke (“the lover”) was quite a party animal, calmly and confidently strolling among the guests, soliciting affection and attention, and undaunted by the noisy press of strangers in her home.
