ABOUT NAPA IN NEWPORT

Napa in Newport brings some of the most acclaimed Napa Valley vintners together under one roof to serve their finest vintages and offer their best wine experiences to Orange County’s top business leaders, influencers, entrepreneurs, philanthropists and wine connoisseurs.

Napa in Newport features a Grand Tasting, vintner hosted dining tables, an exquisite dinner with curated wine pairings by a celebrity chef and spectacular auction lots – all to benefit CureDuchenne, a leading nonprofit organization whose mission is to cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Duchenne is one of the most common and severe forms of muscular dystrophy. It affects roughly 1 in 5,000 male births but sometimes affects females as well. In all cases, Duchenne is caused by mutations in the gene encoding for dystrophin, a protein muscles need to work properly. It is 100% fatal.

Dana Estates

Nestled at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Napa Valley, Dana Estates is dedicated to making small lots of truly distinctive world-class wines. Dana is a Sanskrit term meaning “the Spirit of Generosity.” It is in this spirit that we express a profound appreciation for those that have worked the soil before us, as we build on the foundations laid by previous generations of vintners. Blending history and tradition with cutting edge vineyard management, a new state of the art winery and meticulous winemaking, Dana Estates strives to make the greatest wines possible. In so doing, we hope to provide a link between the past and future generations of vintners, and all those who appreciate the generosity of this special land.

Chef David Shim – Michelin Star awarded COTE

A Seoul native, Shim began his culinary career as a line cook at Gramercy Tavern, followed by stints as chef tournant at Veritas, master cook at L’atelier de Joël Robuchon at the Four Seasons Hotel, and executive chef of Kristabelli. After working as chef de cuisine for M. Wells Steakhouse, Shim was approached by Simon Kim to open his dream Korean steakhouse, where he now runs two Michelin-starred kitchens in New York and Miami with the studied intensity of a center back.

Under his culinary leadership, COTE has earned numerous glowing accolades, including GQ’s Best New Restaurants in America, two stars from The New York Times and New York Magazine, Thrillist’s Best Steakhouses in America and a semi-finalist nod from the James Beard Foundation Awards for Best New Restaurant.
