The Experience Auctioneer:
Dawn Marie Kotsonis
Since her first visit to Winesong! in 2001,
DawnMarie has ignited the Winesong! stage
with her passion and heartfelt commitment
to the Mendocino Coast.
Her introduction to the world of charity
auctions began in the 1980’s while running
a successful commercial auction firm.
DawnMarie was asked to help raise funds on
behalf of cystic fibrosis research, and it was a
very personal request as the disease claimed the
lives of both her nephew and her best friend. It did not
take long for her to realize that working on behalf of nonprofits was far more
fulfilling than any commercial auction career would ever be.
So, she abandoned the commercial side and never looked back. Since then,
DawnMarie has presided over countless record-breaking charity auctions
nationwide including a number on the Wine Spectator’s Top 10. The dollars
While sipping sparkling wines provided by Roederer Estate and she has raised are in the hundreds of millions and grow with each passing year.
Scharffenberger Cellars, guests view the live auction lot display. Chef Marc
Dym will then dazzle attendees with a 5-course lunch and wine pairing.

Donated by: Narsai & Venus David 1
This Lot Includes:
(1) 1999 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs Sparkling
Wine, 9L (Salmanazar)
You won’t want to miss this unique opportunity
for one of only 184 bottles produced in the 9L
format. Straight from the David’s wine cellar to
you to enjoy now or in celebrations to come!
Blanc de Blancs was the first wine Schramsberg
produced in 1965 and was America’s first
commercially produced Chardonnay-based brut
sparkling wine. Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs
gained international recognition in 1972 when
then President Nixon served the wine at the
historic “Toast to Peace” in Beijing, China.
The Schramsberg style of Blanc de Blancs is dry
and crisp. Small lots of malolactic- and barrel-
fermented wines are added for complexity. The
wine is aged on the yeast lees in the bottle for
over two years prior to disgorgement. With its
vibrant, fruitful and crisp nature, this sparkling
wine will maintain its freshness, structure and
refined finish for many years, even decades
following its initial release.
