The 37th Annual l'Eté du Vin: Generations of Greatness, was a grand success. Co-chairs Kimberly Cooper, Pam Taylor and Marjorie Feltus Hawkins and the Nashville Wine Auction team, organized the nation's longest running charity wine auction. Patrons gathered at Loews Vanderbilt Hotel to honor Italian winemaker GAJA and special guest Gaia Gaja, fifth generation and brand ambassador to the family business.

Auctioneer Fritz Hatton led eager bidders through more than 50 live auction items from rare wine lots to private dinners and exotic trips. Since 1980, the Nashville Wine Auction has raised more than $20 million to support the fight against cancer. NWA's 2016 beneficiaries include the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge, Gilda's Club Nashville, Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee, PearlPoint Cancer Support, Saint Thomas Cancer Network and Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center.
