Cleavage Creek Cellars, producer of world-class wines and contributor of 10% of gross sales to fight breast cancer and fund research, is our guest winery for our 1st weekend event in June.
Since the time of Cleavage Creek Cellars' first release of varietals in the autumn of 2007, a total of $55,800 has been contributed. Most recently, owner Budge Brown and Cleavage Creek Cellars made a major contribution to Bastyr University, a national leader in natural health arts and sciences education and research, for the establishment of the Integrative Oncology Research Clinic. To date, Cleavage Creek has donated $30,000 to Bastyr University. With this grant from Cleavage Creek, the clinic opened earlier this year on the University's Kenmore, Washington campus. This outpatient facility provides state-of-the-science and state-of-the-art naturopathic and traditional Chinese medicine treatment and integrative management of cancer patients.
In January of this year, five of the Cleavage Creek varietals won medals at the S.F. Chronicle Wine Competition, and most recently, the 2007 Reserve Chardonnay earned a Gold Medal at the Lodi Wine Competition. Each bottle of Cleavage Creek wine honors a breast cancer survivor with their picture on the label and their story is told on the Cleavage Creek website www.CleavageCreek.com.
Cleavage Creek Cellars Merlot and Merlot-Shiraz (a LCWS customer favorite!) will be available at a special 30% off discount during the event. A portion of event proceeds will be donated to the Cleavage Creek Cellars philanthropic fund.

ROLF KRIKEN, bronze memorial sculptor, is our featured artist for the months of June-August. Kriken is intensely familiar with battles of another sobering kind, having served our country in the U.S. Army from 1962-1965. Resuming his education in 1965 and from 1973 actively working as an artist, sculptor and foundryman at the same time, Kriken graduated with his M.A. in Fine Arts in 1975. Following a position as an instructor at the Richmond Art Center, Rolf became the Director at the Berkeley Art Foundry. A career including more than 40 exhibitions, numerous private, state, city and federal commissions and lectures continues. In 1979, Kriken established Nordhammer Foundry in Kelseyville, CA. Kriken created the three-dimensional, life-size sculptures and did the bronze fabrication and art work for the California Vietnam Memorial in Sacramento, which was dedicated in 1988. While viewing his works may be personally difficult for some people, the intention is to raise consciousness, honor those who have served our country, promote discussion and education to prevent and bring an end to a devastating form of conflict resolution.
Another concurrent showing of some of his works will be available for viewing during the Moving Wall display at the Lake County Fairgrounds June 11-16. We are honored to show some of his fine thought-provoking works for a three-month run at the wine studio and to have Rolf present at our monthly reception events.
