THE RUSTY STAUB FOUNDATION. Benefiting Youth, Fighting Hunger

THE RUSTY STAUB FOUNDATION Benefiting Youth, Fighting Hunger It was 1985 and for Rusty Staub, it was time to go to bat for those much less fortunate in life. The Rusty Staub Foundation** was founded that year and, true to our motto Benefiting Youth, Fighting Hunger, our only mission ever since has been to give children the opportunity to live full, happy and productive lives and to give aid to the hungry. To this end we have established the Rusty Staub Foundation Emergency Food Pantries. Presently, we have food pantries in Harlem, Brooklyn & Queens. Additionally, our mobile unit brings food to the Bronx and Staten Island and is available in case of an emergency. This year we expect to serve more than one million meals in New York City to the needy. To date, the foundation has raised more than $18 million for organizations that share our mission. We raise funds primarily through events held annually in New York City such as our annual wine auction dinner in October. We also host a golf tournament in June of each year to help fund our food pantries and mobile unit. We are sincerely grateful for all of the financial assistance we have received throughout the years and promise to work as hard as possible to continue to earn your valued support. We, and especially the children and families who have benefited so much from your generosity, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. **The Rusty Staub Foundation is a not-for-profit, 501c(3) charitable organization recognized by the U.S. Federal Government, the Internal Revenue Service and the State of New York (Federal Tax ID # 13-3340651).

Ursula Hermacinski is one of the foremost wine auctioneers in the world. She has been standing at a podium from the very start of her career at Christie s in New York in 1984. Ursula worked as furniture and decorations generalist until Christie s called upon her to actualize her passion for the grape. In 1994, Ursula established Christie s New York wine department along with their original auction partner Zachys, the Scarsdale, NY fine wine mega-retailer. The Zachys-Christie s New York wine auctions set new standards for the American wine auction market. Ursula left Christie s at the end of 1998 and jumped into the high adventures of the dot com arena. Her pioneering interest in online wine auctions prompted Wine Spectator to profile Ursula in its article The Changing Face of Auctions. Over the years, Ursula has been invited to work most of the country s top ten benefit wine auctions. In 1992 Ursula became the first woman to take the rostrum at the world famous Napa Valley Wine Auction and continues to appear annually. Ursula works personally with record-holding baseball player Rusty Staub, presiding each year over his foundation s wine auction. Ursula has also joined forces with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse to wield the gavel for his foundation. In addition, to banging a gavel, Ursula has spoken at a number of wine conferences and symposia, including the Aspen Food & Wine Festival, The International Pinot Noir Celebration and the American Institute of Wine and Food Nation Convention. Additionally, you may have seen her profiled in Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine & Spirits, Drinks, Town & Country, and Glamour magazines. Along with the wine world s most influential figures in the international wine scene, Ursula is included in Ann B. Matasar s, Women of Wine (University of California Press). Vanity Fair magazine included her as a definition in their 2005 Wine Snob s Dictionary. Ursula is the Senior Advisor and Principal Auctioneer to the wine auction world s new powerhouse, Wally s Wine Auctions. She is the author of The Wine Lovers Guide to Auctions: The Art & Science of Buying and Selling Wine (Square One Publishers). Ursula continues to be one of the most requested and respected wine charity auctioneers in the country. We can t begin to tell you how honored we are to have Ursula here with us again tonight to do what we think she does better than anyone else.

2013 Burgundy Vintage Report by Rusty Staub On my way to Burgundy, I must admit that there were questions in my mind about the 2013 vintage. We have all heard the reports about the bad weather. It affected flowering for sure. Then it was wet and cool all through June. There was also another hail attack that affected certain areas, especially Santenay, Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune, Savigny, Pernand Vergelesses, and Aloxe Corton. Following 2010, 2011 and 2012, who could afford another small vintage? Well, Mother Nature has her own way most of the time. So 2013 was another vintage that pushed the Burgundy growers to the limit. As I said last year, I feel that these trouble-plagued vintages bring out the best in the good growers. 2013 demanded a tremendous amount of extra work in the vineyards for anyone who hoped to make good wine. The best Burgundian growers were, in my opinion, once again up to the task. It was a vintage, it seems, that required patience. Most of the growers I meet with every year said they didn t start picking until October. Again, nothing was easy about 2013. But for those who put in the extra effort in the vineyards and waited to pick, the results are wines that will be wonderful to drink. They display vineyard-specificity and will give great enjoyment. This is a vintage for people who like to drink Burgundy wine, rather than just look at them on the shelf. The heart and soul of Burgundy is made up of 60 to 80 superb growers, who are all willing to do what it takes in each vintage for Burgundy to live up to all that it can be. I am proud to know them and to visit and taste with them every year. You will be happy with the wines these growers have to offer you in the 2013 vintage. They are a testament of will, talent and hard work. The words I heard when talking to the growers were fresh and pure good tension dense concentrated. Marsannay growers characterized the wines as being full of fruit and very drinkable. In Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée I heard: charming, elegant, ripe with nice tannins, vineyard-specific, very floral and exciting great texture. In Morey Saint Denis and Gevrey- Chambertin, the descriptors went on and on: balanced, concentrated, good tension, energy, juicy fruit, freshness, soft tannins, quality, length and good density. Pascal Marchand used the terms solid and refreshing, with lots of energy and no hard edges. In Gevrey-Chambertin, the wines, especially the nine Grand Crus, were exceptional to taste. In the areas of Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Saint Aubin and Chassagne-Montrachet the words were elegant, fresh, crisp, good balance, lovely, wonderful fruit and density. The growers of Volnay and Pommard had very difficult weather conditions, more so than anyone. But the work, though extreme, was effective. It s amazing what the quality of the very small crop turned out to be. I truly believe that the 2013 vintage will be a winner, both in red and white. There will be many enjoyable moments for anyone who really enjoys drinking Burgundy wine. In Vino Veritas, Rusty
