Club Management - May/June 2008 - (Page 33) Feature The Ultimate Cellar for club’s Raid Member’s generosity raises $45,000 building and endowment fund By Michael Froese General Manager, University Club of Seattle D Dozens of bottles of the finest wine anywhere along with exquisite food and many close friends – it was a night built for memories, even if they were a bit hazy. The Founders Dinner, a vision of University Club of Seattle hospitality chairman and bacchanalian Michael Corliss, is a celebration of our club’s history. Last year, for the inaugural dinner, Michael donated an imperial of 1900 Château Léoville Poyferré, matching the vintage to the year our club was founded. This year, he outdid himself by hosting the ultimate cellar raid and donating wines to match the year each attendee graduated from college. The challenge was staggering. The 45 vintages included several that were more than 60 years old. Few wine connoisseurs would be capable of producing such a collection, Deep into the evening and amid a cluttered table, Scott Wilson shares his decanter of 1966 Château Haut Brion. Left to right: Scott Wilson, Jack Hanover, “Mr. Ben” and Gary Carpenter Michael Corliss (left) presents a bottle of 1945 Château Latour à Pomerol to Langdon Simons. Michael Froese surveys the wine selection prior to the event. MAY/JUNE 2008 • 33
