2020 BODEGA GARZON TANNAT - Uruguay Deep purple in colour, this Tannat fresh aromas reminiscent of red and black fruits such as plums and raspberries on a spice-flavoured aroma. It has a great personality in mouth. Its ripe tannins and its minerality make it a terroir wine of great identity. 2018 FIOR di VINO CHIANTI CLASSICO RISERVA - Italy Comes from the area of the Sienese municipality of Castellina in Chianti. It carries the tradition of winemaking from the famous Tuscan hills. Aged for a minimum of 24 months, it shows aromas of violets, cherries and hints of earth and spices. Coating the palate with supple tannins, balanced acidity, along with notes of oak and leather, with flavors of ripe plums and cherries, with a long lingering finish. Enjoy it with pasta, cheese, grilled meat or on its own." 2022 LES PORTES DE BORDEAUX SAUVIGNON BLANC - France Les Portes de Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc, comes from one of the largest Chateaux in the Bordeaux appellation. The winemaker set out to make a crisp, citrusy white wine that's simultaneously typical of the region and an exceptional example of the varietal. Success in this endeavor is evident on the nose, in the mouth, and in the finish. Tangy and fresh, with lemon and grapefruit notes, the wine is lively, aromatic and characteristically balanced acidity. Enjoy this wine with fish, shellfish, or light pasta dishes.
A note from UE Swim & Dive Aces Booster Club Inc: Our 2nd annual Jason D Morse auction is being run by the UE Swim and Dive Booster Club. Our goal is to raise money to support, honor and to fulfill the Endowment Scholarship fund in Jason's name. The auction proceeds will go towards the Jason D Morse Endowment Scholarship fund and UE Swim and Dive Team.
Background on Jason and this Endowment fund: In 2022 the Jason D. Morse '98 Memorial Endowed Scholarship was established. Morse passed away in 2017 after a three-and-a-half year battle with Adult Recurrent Wilms Cancer. Morse attended UE from 1994 through 1998, where he excelled as a distance freestyle swimmer for the UE swimming & diving program. Morse placed fifth in the Missouri Valley Conference Championships in the 1650-yard freestyle as a freshman, while placing eighth as a sophomore. He also was the first Purple Ace to break the 4:40 barrier in the 500-yard freestyle, as he left UE holding the school record in the event with a time of 4:39.36. Jason was also involved in the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity during his time at UE.
Thank you to all of the generous donors! We greatly appreciate everyone's support and we wish you good luck with your bids!
