Laughs and Love Highlight 2014 Vintner Dinner and Wine Auction

George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum
College Station, TX

A night of raucous laughs provided by conservative comedic darling Dennis Miller, and love for the 41st President of the United States, George H.W. Bush, marked the annual fundraiser for George Bush Presidential Library Foundation held Thursday night.

Three generations of Bush Family members, including President Bush, Barbara Bush, Neil Bush and his wife and son, Maria and Pierce Bush, packed the ballroom at the Royal Sonesta hotel for the Foundation's most successful event to date.

Over a sumptuous meal paired with six world-class wines, guests including Senator Ted Cruz and wife Heidi, and former Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and his wife Laurie, paid tribute to President Bush and raised more than $650,000 for the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum, the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M and the Foundation.

The annual Vintner Dinner and Wine Auction featured a variety of great wines in its silent and live auctions, including a one-of-a-kind 5-litre 2012 Kosta Browne Winery Gaps Crown Pinot Noir, etched with a silhouette of President and Mrs. Bush, luxurious excursions to Kennebunkport, ME, and Sonoma County, CA, and 41 bottles of exclusive Mot Hennessy Champagne.
