2 ShuttleCork2018 1 WELCOME TO ShuttleCork2018

Dear Friends, The exciting, two-night event that we know as ShuttleCork has a growing reputation for excellence. Guests know they will have access to exceptional winemakers and wines that are generally available only through connections or through exclusive mail lists. Likewise, visitors to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art know that when they walk through the doors, they will encounter excellence. I watched our visitors be transformed after visiting Through the Eyes of Picasso, where they could see African masterworks side by side with Pablo Picasso’s paintings and sculpture. This fall, our visitors will experience another level of excellence with Napoleon: Power & Splendor, which will offer an intimate view of stunning objects from Napoleon’s household. Great exhibitions would not happen if not for our generous donors! The notion of excellence is the guiding principle behind ShuttleCork. The event is the creation of chairs Paul DeBruce and Mary Bloch, who brilliantly conceived of an event that would do two things: raise funds to support the Nelson-Atkins, and bring a new set of enthusiasts to the museum. The event has succeeded well beyond our expectations. In the years since it began, ShuttleCork has raised more than $4 million to benefit the Nelson-Atkins, and it is considered one of the top multi-day fundraising events in the city. Most importantly, it has welcomed new friends to the museum, not simply as guests, but as instant supporters of our institution. I raise my glass to you, as someone who appreciates fine art and fine wine, and I will see you at the auction! ¡Salud!

JULIÁN ZUGAZAGOITIA Menefee D. & Mary Louise Blackwell Director & CEO

3 Raise A Glass

With great pleasure, we welcome you to the fifth annual ShuttleCork, an event that celebrates connoisseurship in many forms – fine wine, exceptional food, and world-class art. We are honored to again co-chair this special event supporting The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and are delighted that it has evolved into one of the premier fundraisers in Kansas City.

As in past years, the event begins with six “Winemaker Dinners” in lovely private homes, and we are most grateful to each of our hosts. The second evening of ShuttleCork takes place at the Nelson-Atkins, an unparalleled setting, where guests are invited to connect with other wine enthusiasts and to take part in our lively auction. We invite you to spend time looking over the details on the following pages, guaranteed to capture your own sense of connoisseurship with exciting possibilities.

We express our deep appreciation to each of our fabulous Corporate Sponsors, especially Bank of America, which graciously agreed to be our Presenting Sponsor for the fifth year in a row. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the ShuttleCork committee members, along with numerous others who have contributed to these memorable evenings. Finally, we thank each of you for your passionate support of the Nelson-Atkins, our crown jewel of Kansas City and the focus of ShuttleCork.

Cheers to wine, food, and art.

14 ShuttleCork2018 15 Meet The Auctioneer GREG QUIROGA

We welcome back Greg Quiroga as our auctioneer for a stellar third year! Based in , Greg conducts fundraising auctions for non-profit organizations all over the country.

His clients include some of the top travel-destination wine auctions in the United States, including the Sun Valley Center for the Arts Wine Auction, the Manhattan Wine Auction, the Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta, Vintage Albuquerque, and the Howell Mountain Vintners & Growers Association.

His performances are always a fiery combination of passion, humor, and heartfelt engagement. His favorite part of every auction is that moment when the crowd comes together to help change the world through the Fund-a-Need. He also enjoys “encouraging bidders to spend more than they should on things they don’t need in support of a great cause,” and always manages to make people feel good about doing exactly that.

Greg and his wife live in San Francisco with their son, Ryder, and their Australian Shepherd, Loki.
