DPS Sporting Club Development partnered with American Express Publishing and Departures Magazine to host the ANV Kick-Off Event for 2008 Auction Napa Valley. Guests were invited to enjoy a connoisseur’s collection of wines from the Napa Valley vintners paired with a “Taste of a Life, Well Played” from the executive chefs of the DPS Sporting Clubs. Auction Napa Valley (ANV) is one of the world’s most successful charity wine auctions in the country attended by affluent wine enthusiasts from around the world. All guests at the kick-off event were given a parting gift of an Auction Napa Valley Cookbook listing the recipes featured that evening from the DPS Sporting Club chefs.
