Benefit Auction Procurement Idea - Stock the Bar Or Stock the Cellar
Copyright (c) 2009 Red Apple Auctions LLC
Several years ago, I attended a wedding in which the couple was in their mid-40s. The marriage was a first for both, and each one had been living on their own prior to their marriage.
Given their age, the couple had already acquired the typical accoutrements of life, so standard wedding gifts such as blenders and Calphalon weren't appropriate. The couple asked that anyone wishing to bring a gift, "Please just bring a nice bottle of wine for our cellar." It was a "stock the cellar" gift.
Similarly, I have read about co-ed bridal showers called "stock the bar" parties. The idea is for guests to bring the betrothed couple all of the wine, spirits and related equipment needed to stock the bar for future entertaining.
Some fundraisers have their own method of conducting "stock the cellar" parties. A few of my clients conduct these. Other groups might want to consider adding this event to your calendar.
About a month prior to the benefit auction, the organization hosts a party. Usually the soiree is held at someone's home. It is often catered with heavy hors d'oeuvres and includes a wine tasting. The entry fee for the event is a bottle of wine of, say, $30 or more.
The bottles of wine collected from the party are then sold at the benefit auction. Sometimes the bottles are sold as one item in one lot. Other times the bottles are sold via different games involving wine.
If your crowd leans towards enjoying spirits instead of wine, consider an adaptation of this activity. Alter the wine donations with your own version of "stock the bar."
One way to conduct the party is to ask guests to bring whatever they would like: wine, spirits, glasses, wine openers, olives, etc. It is their choice. So if you end up with five bottles of Bailey's Irish Cream, so be it!
Another option is to create more of a game atmosphere around the activity. For instance, to ensure a wider selection in your bar, segment the guests. Guests are assigned to either bring different types of liquor, or suggest that each guest bring something to stock the bar that begins with the initial of his or her last name. For instance, my last name is Truhlar. I might bring Tennessee whiskey, Tanqueray gin, or triple sec ...with toothpicks thrown in for good measure.
By the time everyone arrives with their items, you will have a completely stocked bar, ready to sell at your benefit auction.

Irish Cream $6.99 Countless readers have been delighted by Father Andrew M. Greeley's bestselling tales of Nuala Anne McGrail, a fey, Irish-speaking woman from Galway blessed with the gift of second sight and a knack for unraveling mysteries, and her hapless husband and accomplice, Dermot Michael Coyne. From Irish Gold through Irish Stew! this spirited couple has untangled many a knotty mystery, both at home in Chicago and back in Erin. Now they return in another captivating blend of romance, humor, and intrigue. Damian "Day" O'Sullivan is a troubled young man who blames himself for a tragic vehicular homicide he may not have committed. Trouble is, Day's entire family seems to be conspiring to pin the crime on the poor lad, which only leads Nuala and Dermot to wonder who really ran over (three times!) Rodney Keefe in the parking lot of a ritzy Chicago country club. The O'Sullivans are a ruthlessly ambitious clan of South Side Irish, who consider themselves the cream of the Irish-American community. The sensitive Day has always been something of a black sheep in the family---and perhaps a scapegoat as well. But the twisted saga of the O'Sullivans isn't the only mystery to be unraveled. Having stumbled onto the diary of Father Richard Lonigan, a nineteenth-century parish priest assigned to a remote village in old Donegal, Dermot and Nuala find themselves caught up in the closely guarded secrets and scandals of that desolate time and place, where simmering resentment against the ruling English sometimes erupted into violence and murder.... Irish Cream is another rich and satisfying concoction by one of America's most popular storytellers. |

Available in Medium (46), Large (47), XL (52), and 2XL (53). Imported. Web Exclusive!HistoryThe most famous Dry Stout in Ireland, and in arguably the world, is Guinness . Arthur Guinness started his stout, or porter as it was then called, business in 1759 using an inheritance of what would be $150 US by today's standards. More incredibly, he signed a 9,000 year lease on a run down brewery now known as St. James Gate in Dublin. The original rent on the lease was about $70 per year and Arthur Guinness sought such long lease to ensure there was always a supply of of the essential resource for brewing stout - water. By 1930, nearly one out of every ten Dublin men depended on the Guinness brewery directly or indirectly to earn their livelihood. In addition, Arthur and his successors set the Guinness -employee standard of living well above local expectations at the time. Wages were between 10% and 20% above the average in Dublin, and paid vacations, free medical care, homes and education were all provided. And to top it off, workers received free Guinness to drink every day. Guinness is a great Irish beer with an intriguing history. |
