Jack Bodkin’s novel, Briarhill to Brooklyn, tells the powerful story of his ancestor’s journey from Ireland to America during the potato famine. From a small cottage in Co. Galway to a perilous voyage on the coffin ship Cushlamachree, the Bodkins’ journey continues in Brooklyn, where the Civil War shapes their pursuit of freedom and opportunity.

Jack’s book was an Amazon Best Seller, a 2022 Publishers Weekly Editor’s Pick, and he was named 2023 Indie Author Project’s Regional Author of the Year.

Once again, it’s time to come together for a cause close to our hearts. This year’s festival will take on a new format that highlights some of the best of what Cornerstone does by incorporating the most iconic California Winemakers with Cornerstone’s Food Value Systems. The 2025 VIP Dinner continues its mission to support brain aneurysm prevention through The Bee Foundation, while also championing the California Wine Community, which has endured many challenges in the past few years.

Brand new this year, join us for an intimate, one-of-a-kind evening featuring:

• 5 Iconic California Winemakers

• 5 Perfectly Crafted Courses & Wine Pairings

• Cornerstone Cocktail Bar

• Oyster and Caviar Bar

This VIP experience will bring together three communities:

1. The Bee Foundation For Brain Aneurysm Prevention

2. The California Wine Community, through ticket sales, sponsorships, and wine purchases.

3. The Bee Foundation Brain Aneurysm Community directly affected by the 2025 devastating wildfires in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase exclusive library wines for the wine collections that evening as well as option to join each wine club featured that evening. A portion of the proceeds of all wine sales that evening will go to TBF.

All tickets include tax, gratuity, and a $400 tax deductible charitable donation to The Bee Foundation For Brain Aneurysm Prevention (tax id # 47-1133312). A donation receipt will be sent after purchase. If you would like to pay via Donor Advised Funds please contact Erin Kreszl at erin@thebeefoundation.org
