Jessica Schneider from the J.R. Newhouse accounting firm, left, tells tasters about wine samples at the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce's annual Vintners & Brewers Tasting & Auction Saturday night at Coulee Dam Town Hall.

But since live auction proceeds alone were nearly double last year's, it's safe to say it was a success.
