Dear V Foundation Friends and Family,

The year has flown by since our 20th Wine Celebration, where together we celebrated as we flew over our $100M goal and hit $108M raised for cancer research. However, with cures closer than ever, we need to stay focused to sustain our momentum as we race to the cures we so desperately need. Throughout the weekend, you’ll learn about the V Foundation’s plan for Canine Comparative Oncology, a strategy to accelerate cures in an exponential way.

We welcome back Coach K as our extraordinary host for the 12th time. The passion and energy that he brings to the event is unstoppable! His talent will be matched by the culinary expertise of Chef Emeril Lagasse, who lives by the mantra, “If you don’t follow your dreams, who will?” Together with the V Foundation community, which includes all of you, we form the Dream Team—the team that will relentlessly pursue cures for cancer.

Our annual Vintner’s Grant honors Pat and Joe Harbison, supporters of the Wine Celebration since the beginning. We thank them for their generosity and commitment to the V Foundation and recognize their dedication to many causes, especially the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The V Foundation will establish a grant for esophageal cancer in their name.

We return for our “crystal 15th” anniversary to Nickel & Nickel, a place we’ve been so fortunate to call home. As Gil Nickel stated so perfectly, “We are just one miracle away!” His spirit is what continues to drive Beth Nickel to live a happy life. We thank the entire Nickel & Nickel team for their heroic support of us every August and throughout the year.

Over the last 21 years, my commitment to the V Foundation has not waned—it continues to be fueled by both my mother and beloved nephew, Jamie, and the loss of so many others along the way. But with every passing year, every cancer THRIVER, and so many significant advances, I’m fueled by HOPE. Our deepest gratitude on behalf of the entire V Foundation team for joining us on this journey to WIN!

Warmly,

FRANK X. LONERGAN, CO-CHAIR

2019 FUND-A-NEED Dogs are man’s best friend, but did you know they could also be part of the key to unlocking the mystery of cancer? The V Foundation’s Canine Comparative Oncology innovative grant-making program will help accelerate research in the comparative oncology field.

We are working with cancer centers and veterinary colleges nationwide to make grants for canine comparative oncology, with a goal of faster and less costly care for pet dogs and for humans, as well as better informed research designs. Some of the most prevalent cancers diagnosed in both humans and dogs include sarcomas, melanoma, lymphomas, breast and

bladder cancer. Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs, with one in four developing the disease in his or her lifetime.

The V Foundation can help pet dogs and humans with cancer by finding cures more quickly. Excellent veterinary medical centers are teaming up with leading cancer centers to help dogs and humans beat cancer. Beneficiaries of the canine comparative oncology research approach include human and canine patients (as well as their owners)! The goal is faster and less costly therapies, as well as better informed clinical trial designs for both.

MISSION STATEMENT The V Foundation for Cancer Research is a charitable organization dedicated to saving lives by helping to find a cure for cancer. The V Foundation seeks to make a difference by generating broad-based support for cancer research by creating an urgent awareness among all Americans of the importance of the war against cancer. The V Foundation performs these dual roles through advocacy, education, fundraising and philanthropy.

100% OF DIRECT DONATIONS GO TO CANCER RESEARCH.

To explore similarities and differences between human and canine cancers, researchers will study canine comparative oncology.

Canine tumors can share multiple characteristics with human cancers, including

Some of the most prevalent cancers diagnosed in both humans and dogs include: sarcomas, melanoma, lymphomas, leukemia and bladder cancer.

DOGS AND HUMANS ARE

GENETICALLY SIMILAR. 85%

Humans and dogs share the same environment, includingair, water and pollutants.

Clinical trials in tumor-bearing pets can decrease time, cost and false leads by accelerating research development.

Comparative OncologyResearch Consortium

An initiative to benefit human and dog cancer patients

Our pet dogs get cancer – lots of cancer. What if we could help them and help humans with cancer by finding cures more quickly? Great veterinary medical centers are teaming up with leading cancer centers to help dogs and humans beat cancer. Beneficiaries of the canine comparative oncology research approach include human patients and canine patients (along with their owners). Our goal is faster and less costly drug therapies, as well as better informed clinical trial designs for both.

2019 VINTNER GRANT HONOREES

JOE & PAT HARBISON Over the past 40 years, Pat and Joe Harbison have spent all their non-professional time giving back by founding, chairing, and participating in charities that benefit children with life threatening diseases, particularly cancer.

They initiated the Harbison Family Foundation that, for 25 years, put on the marquee fundraising event in Sacramento, the Winter Wine and Food Fest, to benefit Make-A-Wish of Sacramento, Northeast (now Northern) California, Central California and Western Nevada. This event raised a third of the money for the annual budget for wish costs.

With two capitol campaigns, they helped build the “Wishing Place”, which also houses all of the staff rent-free, and initiated an annuity fund guaranteeing that no wish requested of this chapter would ever be denied for economic reasons.

The Harbisons, like all of us, have been touched by cancer. Pat’s mother died of pancreatic cancer, Joe’s father passed away from lung cancer, and recently his 92-year-old mother underwent a mastectomy for breast cancer. It was only natural that they joined the V at its inception, fulfilling Jim Valvano’s wish to fund examiners, pioneers, and cutting-edge researchers as they find the cures for cancer. They continue to support the V Foundation and its incredibly generous partner, ESPN, in hopes that one day a cure for cancer will make Make-A-Wish obsolete.

MONTEVERDI TUSCANYTuscany is known for casting a spell on all who visit and two lucky couples will experience the intoxicating effects of Italian country living for five nights! A luxury vehicle will pick you up from the Rome airport and transport you to Monteverdi Tuscany, where an arrival reception awaits. Once you step into the elegant two-bedroom home at Villa San Pietro, you may never want to leave. The master suite downstairs is a true haven for the senses where you can lounge in lavish, hand-sewn leather recliners or unwind with an Umberto Eco novel on a bed made of hand-dyed linens. One additional bedroom and bath provide a welcome sanctuary for friends and family, who will feel equally at home as they bask in the same comforts.

Enjoy breakfast each morning in Oreade, the fine-dining restaurant at Monteverdi, and sommelier-led wine tastings each evening in the Enoteca, an inviting wine bar where casual menus are the perfect complement to the variety of carefully selected wines.

During your stay, join Executive Chef Giancarla Bodoni for an intimate, private cooking lesson in Monteverdi’s new state-of the-art culinary academy. Using the freshest ingredients from the Tuscan countryside, you will learn to prepare classic Tuscan dishes like pici pasta, boar ragu, and many other regional specialties. One evening, make time to enjoy your “Chef’s Table” dining experience for four at the culinary academy.

Enjoy a full-day, luxury private driving tour of the Val d’Orcia, including a private tour and cheese making demonstration at Podere Il Casale, led by the owner. While at Podere Il Casale, enjoy a multi-course lunch with wine pairings and a breathtaking view of the Val d’Orcia, compliments of Podere Il Casale. Following your experience and lunch at Podere Il Casale, complete your day with a private tour and wine tasting at a famed winery in either Montalcino or Montepulciano, and take a private tour and wine tasting at Francesco Illy’s architecturally stunning Podere Le Ripi in Montalcino, one of Tuscany’s most beautiful villages.

Take a private tour of Nicola Bulgari’s famed vintage American car collection in Sarteano, Italy—only four miles away from Monteverdi—conducted by the curator of Mr. Bulgari’s vintage car collections. Following your tour, be escorted through the Tuscan countryside in specially selected vintage cars (and perhaps even drive them!), arriving at Giovanni Bulgari’s winery, Podernuovo a Palazzone di Giovanni Bulgari, for an exclusive, private, multi-course lunch with wine pairings.

And finally, RomaSi Europe will return for your luxury, round-trip, private transfer from Monteverdi Tuscany to Florence where you will enjoy a 3-hour, private walking tour of this city’s many Renaissance treasures with a professional guide.

Head back to Rome for a private cocktail reception in the Bulgari retail store in Rome, including the DOMUS experience: a private tour of the Bulgari heritage jewels not normally seen by the public.

Before your departure or upon your return to the U.S., visit Jessup Cellar’s Tasting Studio and Art Gallery in Yountville for a premium wine tasting for four. Begin your journey as a member of the Jessup Cellars family with a complimentary one-year membership in Jessup Cellars’ wine club. Then enjoy an exclusive wine tasting experience for four at Handwritten Cellars’ cottage in Yountville, and take home three three-liter bottles of extraordinary Handwritten Cellars’ artisan wines.

SCARECROW: 12 X 12 12+ Liters of 2012 Scarecrow. Do the math. A celebration of Scarecrow’s 10th vintage: multiple formats of the inimitable 2012 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon.

“It boasts an opaque purple color as well as copious notes of spring flowers, blackberries, black raspberries and wet rocks. The wine’s gravelly minerality and spectacular opulence and density make it an instant classic. This massive, full-bodied 2012 should drink beautifully for 15-20+ years. It showed incredibly well last year, and it still reveals the potential to possibly merit a 3-digit score – it’s that special. 98 points” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

In 1942, J.J. Cohn purchased a 195-acre property of Rutherford-bench land, adjacent to Inglenook Winery. Upon Cohn’s passing in 1996, his grandson, Bret Lopez, an internationally acclaimed photographer, acquired a portion of the property: the original house, and 25 acres of planted vineyards. Two of those acres were the original 1945 Cabernet vines planted by Inglenook’s John Daniels. Fondly known as “The Old Men Vines”, these two esteemed acres are acknowledged as some of the oldest cabernet vines in the country, and are the backbone of Scarecrow Wine. Bret, and his partner Mimi DeBlasio engaged the brilliant winemaker, Celia Welch, to shepherd this exceptional fruit into the world class wine that it is recognized as today. Success followed swiftly, and, coupled with very small production, Scarecrow wine became one of the most coveted bottles to come out of the valley.

This incredibly rare and exceptionally rich wine is available exclusively to those fortunate souls on their wine list— and those fortunate enough to secure this lot!

DOMAINE DE CROMEY: Luxury in Burgundy at Domaine de Cromey

If, as some say, Burgundy is “the wine capital of the world,” then this trip must surely qualify as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Arc de Triomphe! Can we tempt you with a stay for three couples in a beautifully restored, centuries old house with a 300-year-old wine cellar, nestled amongst vineyards, surrounded by a vast park? Enjoy all the while being pampered by your host couple—he, a wine connoisseur and friend of small Burgundian winegrowers whose wines he exports, and she, one of the best cooks you’ll ever get to know. Did we have you at wine cellar? Here’s your chance. For six days and nights, Ellie and Dennis Sherman will be at your service with their friendly staff pouring fine Burgundy and serving delectable fare in luxurious settings. Dennis and Ellie have been residents of France for 35 years and are deeply involved in the food, wine, and hospitality business for over 25 years. They know how to make their guests feel at home from the minute they arrive until they reluctantly bid adieu. Domaine de Cromey is the crown jewel of their lifetime pursuit of wine and food hospitality. Dennis will happily take you on tours of Burgundy, including visits with some of his winemaker friends for tastings in their cellars. You can explore with him through the ancient walled city of Beaune or visit some of the other splendid attractions of this magical part of France. Ellie may even allow you to accompany her on a trip to the market, and it’s a marvelous experience for anyone interested in food. If you prefer, you can just relax by the pool while the others go off exploring. Ellie will prepare lunches and dinners you will never forget. She may even allow those interested to participate in or observe her preparation. You’ll need to get to the local train station on a Sunday, where Dennis will collect you (and return you on Saturday), and bring you to Domaine de Cromey for a champagne welcome. Then, your only responsibility is to relax and enjoy! You’ll have all breakfasts, two lunches (others on your own while on tour), four dinners by Ellie and two as Dennis’s treat at his local favorite dineries. Those who have enjoyed trips with Ellie and Dennis tell us that it is impossible to be too flamboyant with praise for the food, wines, accommodations and gracious hospitality.
