Bid on this 12-half-bottle lot of 2015 d'Yquem, Sauternes (375ml) (OWC - 100RP, 100TWI, 99DC, 99JS, 98JA, (96-98WE), 98WS) in original wood. Wine Advocate: Following a very long harvest stretching nearly two months, the 2015 Château d'Yquem came in at 13.9% alcohol and 144 grams per liter of residual sugar, sporting a pH of 3.65 and six grams per liter of tartaric acid. None of these numbers, however, even remotely begin to tell you how profound this wine is. The nose opens with electric notes of ripe pineapples, green mango, orange blossoms and lemon tart with hints of fungi, lime zest, crushed rocks and jasmine. (LPB) (04/2018)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 1964 Villadoria Barolo Riserva Speciale. Having begun as a nursery selling rootstock and cuttings to estates in the Langhe in the late 1800s, Villadoria established itself as a bona fide producer of fine Barolo and Barbaresco in 1959 in the heart of Serralunga d'Alba. This example from the winery's early days is still drinking beautifully, and represents a classic expression of Barolo that is rarely seen today.

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2021 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru "Aux Beaux Bruns" ((91-93VN), (90-92BH), 92JG, (90-92JM)). Vinous: " The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Beaux Bruns 1er Cru has an attractive nose, a mélange of red and black fruit, sous-bois, crushed stone and rose petals. It displays more vigour than the Chambolle-Charmes. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red cherry and strawberry fruit, desiccated orange peel and white pepper. Not complex yet it demonstrates more length than some of the other cuvées. " (01/2023)
Starting Bid: $420.00
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2014 Freeman ''Yu-Ki Estate Vineyard'' Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (93JS, 91BH). James Suckling: "Caramelized orange peel but then this brims with dried cherries, herbs, tobacco and even hints of leather. Full-bodied with ripe tannins, some fresh acidity and a dried-fruit finish. Drink in 2019." (11/2017)
Current Bid: $140.00
Bid on this 5-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2003 Betz "Père de Famille" Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (95WE, 93ST, 92RP), 3-bottles of 2013 Betz "La Cote Patriarche" Yakima Valley Syrah (97RP, 94VN), and 1-bottle of 2014 Betz "Heart of the Hill" Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (97RP). Of the 2013 Betz "La Cote Patriarche" Yakima Valley Syrah, Wine Advocate writes: "Impenetrable inky colored (even by Betz's standards), the 2013 La Cote Patriarche is another blockbuster from this team, and probably the greatest Syrah I've tasted from them. Coming all from the Red Willow vineyard and some of the oldest Syrah vines planted in Washington, it has seriously intense blackberry, wet gravel, licorice and smoked meat aromas and flavors to go with a full-bodied, massive, rich and concentrated style on the palate. A tour de force in Washington State Syrah, it will have 20 years or more of overall longevity. (JD)" (06/2015)
Starting Bid: $250.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2018 Turley "Old Vines" California Zinfandel (90VN). Vinous: "The 2018 Zinfandel Old Vines is a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value. Sweet dark cherry, new leather, spice, menthol, licorice and red flowers all open up effortlessly. Medium in body yet fleshy and wonderfully deep, the 2018 has a lot to offer. It can be enjoyed now, but also has the stuffing to develop nicely for years to come. (AG)" (01/2020)
Starting Bid: $150.00
Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2013 Kosta Browne "Garys' Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir (95CG, 93VN, 92WS, 91RP), 1-bottle of 2014 Kosta Browne "Gap's Crown Vineyard" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir (94RP, 90VN, 90WS), and 1-bottle of 2015 Kosta Browne "Garys' Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir (95JS, 93JD, 92VN, 92WS). Of the 2013 Kosta Browne "Garys' Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir, Connoisseurs Guide writes: "Pinots from this well-regarded vineyard are rarely wanting in richness, and while this one convincingly makes just that point, it shows a degree of crafting and polish that very few do. " (10/2015)
Starting Bid: $205.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2018 Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay "Vaudenelles" ((89-91BH), (89-91VN)). Vinous: "The 2018 Marsannay Les Vaudenelles was one of the earliest picked at the domaine. It comes across quite reduced on the nose, but the palate is well balanced, with oodles of Pinoté - so transparent and lively that you could almost drink this now. Beautiful, albeit not long-term! (NM)" (11/2019)
Starting Bid: $150.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2022 Orin Swift "Eight Years in the Desert #6" California Red Blend (93DC). Decanter: "A proprietary red blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, and Syrah aged seven months in 32% new oak. Brambly red berry fruit, red spices, curry, coriander, cumin, and cedarwood were kissed with vanilla. Round, rich, silken red berry fruits, strawberry preserves, and grilled herbs are harnessed by intricate tannins of fine-grained cedarwood with a long saline mineral finish augmented by crunchy cinnamon-kissed red berry fruits.

Bid on this 5-bottle tasting lot; including 3-bottles of 2012 Adaptation (Odette) Napa Valley Petite Sirah and 2-bottles of 2013 Adaptation (Odette) Napa Valley Petite Sirah (92WS). Of the 2013 Adaptation (Odette) Napa Valley Petite Sirah, Wine Spectator writes: "Thick, chewy tannins present a bold framework for gingerbread, black cherry, chai tea and plum flavors. Generous and focused, lingering on the long finish. (MW)" (04/2016)
Starting Bid: $125.00
Bid on this magnum of 2014 Sine Qua Non "Testa dei Cherubini" Sta. Rita Hills Grenache (1.5L) (99JD, 98RP, 98VN). Jeb Dunnuck: "As with the extended aged Syrah release, the 2014 Grenache Testa Dei Cherubini (80% Grenache, 15.5% Syrah, and the rest Petite Sirah and Viognier) comes all from the estate Eleven Confessions Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills and spent just under 38 months in 25% new French oak, with the balance in neutral barrels (varying sizes). Layers of black raspberry, cassis, white chocolate, white flowers, and Asian spices flow to a full-bodied, supple, powerful Grenache that has silky, silky tannins, a seamless texture, no hard edges, and a finish that won’t quit." (10/2018)
Current Bid: $395.00
Bid on this magnum of Bérêche Fils "Reflet d' Antan" Brut Champagne (1.5L) (OWC - 95VN) in original wood. Vinous: "The NV Brut Reflet d'Antan (base 2017) is laced with hints of tangerine peel, mint, apricot, spice, lemon confit, chamomile and passion fruit. There’s an exotic flair to this ethereal, wonderfully nuanced edition of the family's flagship. This release is based on the 2017 harvest and blended with 35% reserve wines, all aged together in demi-muid. Reflet d'Antan remains one of the most captivating and idiosyncratic wines in Champagne. Readers should note it is now bottled only in magnum. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: December 2022. (AG)" (12/2024)
Current Bid: $675.00
Bid on this bottle of Jacques Selosse "Substance" Blanc de Blancs Champagne (99RP, 97DC, 96VN, 96WS). Wine Advocate: "Disgorged in November 2021, the latest release of Selosse's emblematic NV Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Substance exhibits aromas of dried fruits, peach, clear honey, toasted nuts, fenugreek, dried white flowers and nutmeg. It's full-bodied, vinous and racy, with huge concentration, bright acids and a long, intensely sapid finish. As I've written before, this is the cuvée that best exemplifies Selosse's contention (to paraphrase) that an oxidative élevage can purge a wine of the organic, leaving behind only the mineral—in this case, he argues, the imprint of two Avize lieux-dits, Les Chantereines and Les Marvillannes. For admirers of Selosse's wines, that makes it one of the most compelling bottlings in the portfolio, just as his detractors are likely to rank it as his most divisive. (WK)" (08/2022)
Current Bid: $550.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2021 Henri Prudhon & Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Cuvée Frisson D'Avril (91BH). Burghound: "Note: this is a cuvée that combines five 1ers and the name is a play on words that literally means the shiver of April in reference to the devastating frost. Slightly riper aromas are composed by notes of just sliced pear, apple compote, citrus confit and a whiff of anise. The dense and very rich, even opulent, medium-bodied flavors that display excellent length as well as slightly better depth. Lovely and worth considering. *Outstanding*" (01/2023)
Current Bid: $240.00
Bid on this 5-bottle lot of 1994 Dalla Valle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (94RP, 94TWI, 94WS, 92VN). Wine Advocate: "The 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon, which I have drunk with great pleasure despite its backwardness, possesses a full-bodied, multi-layered personality, with plenty of tannin, but sufficient earthy, black currant/plum-like fruit to balance out the wine's structure. I don't think I need to reinforce the fact that these offerings are extremely difficult to find, but isn't that the way it always is with such extraordinary wines? (RP)" (12/1997)
Current Bid: $450.00
Bid on this bottle of 1987 Joseph Phelps "Insignia" Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend.
Current Bid: $160.00
Bid on this bottle of 2006 Domaine d'Eugénie Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru (93BH, 92WS). Burghound: "A reserved, even restrained and moderately somber nose of intensely earthy red and blue berry fruit, violets and game is trimmed in a deft touch of wood that is also picked up on the rich, full and notably powerful flavors that are also blessed with ample sève that coats the palate on the youthfully austere but impressively long finish. Excellent quality here and definitely worth investigating as the intensity is simply outstanding - note however that patience will be required as this is very firmly structured." (01/2009)
Current Bid: $160.00
Bid on this bottle of 2005 DRC Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-St-Vivant Grand Cru (100DC, 97BH, (96-97RP), 96WS, 95ST, 95VN, 93JG). Decanter: "Medium-full colour. Ethereal nose. A lighter wine than many of these Vosne grands crus. Less new oaky also. This is highly individual and very, very delicious. Rich, fragrant and complex. Impeccably textured. A great wine. (CC)" (08/2019)
Current Bid: $2,295.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2013 Philip Togni "Estate" Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon (100VN, 96DC, 96RP, 94WS). Vinous: "A majestic, towering wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is even more striking in bottle than it was from barrel. Deep, unctuous and remarkably vivid for such a big, intense wine, the 2013 simply conquers all of the senses, from the intellectual to the hedonistic. A host of dark red cherry, pomegranate, spice, mint and floral notes meld together in the glass, but the 2013 is a wine to admire for its total sense of completeness. This is easily the greatest young Philip Togni wine I have ever tasted. Simply put, the 2013 is magnificent and one of the wines of the vintage. (AG)" (10/2015)
Starting Bid: $540.00
Bid on this 4-bottle tasting lot; including 2-bottles of 2017 Friedrich Becker "Schweigener" Pinot Noir Pfalz and 2-bottles of 2019 Meyer-Näkel "Estate" Pinot Noir Ahr. Of the 2017 Friedrich Becker "Schweigener" Pinot Noir Pfalz, Jancis Robinson writes: "Vines between 28 and 53 years old in vineyards on both the French and German side. Hand-picked, destemmed, fermented for two to three weeks in open-top oak casks. Aged 16 months in oak barriques. Bottled in April 2021 without filtration. RS 1.5 g/l, TA 5.6 g/l.Hint of cranberry and crushed new-green bay leaf. Laurel spiciness and freshness. Lithe, muscled, savoury and peppery. This is thrumming with excitement. There is a certain amount of swagger, but it comes with poise, control, wry finesse. Deeply spicy, deep-red ripe-berried fruit arching through the mouth thanks to vaulted acidity and tensely curved tannins. *Good Value* (TC)" (05/2024)
Starting Bid: $100.00
Bid on this 5-bottle lot of 2018 Domaine Lecheneaut Morey-Saint-Denis (93DC). Decanter: "The Léchenaut brothers may be based on the outskirts of Nuits-St-Georges, but they also have a very solid presence in Morey-St-Denis. This delicious village red hails from the Pierre Vivant lieu-dit and has plenty of density, structure and texture, with some sappy, stemmy notes from 50% whole clusters, fine tannins and the raciness of a high altitude site. (TA)" (10/2019)
Starting Bid: $225.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2020 Quintessa Rutherford Bordeaux Blend (OWC - 98DC, 96IWR, 96TWI, 96WE, 95JA, 94JS, 93RP) in original wood. Decanter: "Gorgeous aromas, fragrant and floral, sweet and heady sun-kissed currants and black cherry fruit. Full and intense but straight and linear, quite lean and not fleshy, with some cool, crystalline blue fruit aspects as well as liquorice and tobacco notes. It's compact for sure, but so well worked, tannins are fine and firm, really supportive and give both a wide and deep frame. (GH)" (07/2023)
Starting Bid: $780.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2021 Penner-Ash Willamette Valley Chardonnay (92WS, 91JD, 90JS). Wine Spectator: "Vibrant and floral, showing pretty flavors of lemon and pear accented with honeysuckle and spice notes. (TF)" (06/2024)
Starting Bid: $150.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1977 Taylor Vintage Port (98VN, 97WS, 96RP, 95WE, 93JG). Vinous: "The 1977 Taylor's Vintage Port is initially tight and conservative on the nose: strawberry, baked cherry, tobacco and wild hedgerow notes emerging but remaining tight-lipped. This needs a good decant! The palate is endowed with depth and concentration, very well balanced with an attractive crispness. Perhaps you could argue that it is a 'linear' and more 'correct' Taylor's compared to the 1970 and lacks some charm. But there is immense complexity here so it is more a case of a Port demanding a very long maturation in bottle. (NM)" (06/2018)
Starting Bid: $395.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2015 San Filippo "Le Lucere" Brunello di Montalcino (100JS, 97WS, 94RP). James Suckling: "Decadent aromas of ripe fruit, such as plums and peaches with black truffles and porcini mushrooms. Full body, with layers of ripe fruit and round and chewy tannins. Lots of chocolate and fresh mushroom at the finish. A thoroughly terroir-driven red. " (09/2019)
Current Bid: $170.00
Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2012 Rombauer "Atlas Peak Vineyard" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon , 1-bottle of 2013 Duckhorn Carneros Merlot, and 1-bottle of 2013 St. Francis "Anthem" Sonoma Valley Meritage (92RP). Of the 2013 St. Francis "Anthem" Sonoma Valley Meritage, Wine Advocate writes: "The proprietary red, the 2013 Anthem is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This deep, rich, full-bodied wine offers plenty of blackberry and cassis, again, great concentration and richness, and a full-bodied, terrific, layered mouthfeel. This is another blockbuster and a great effort from St. Francis. Give it 5 or 6 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 20 years. (93+) (RPJ)" (03/2016)
Current Bid: $130.00
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2022 Anita Moulin a Vent Coeur de Vigneronne (100JS). James Suckling: "A totally classic Beaujolais, but this mind-blowing wine also redefines what Beaujolais can be. That starts with how it pulls the white rabbit of mind-blowing freshness and purity out of the hat in this very hot and dry vintage. The depth of the red fruit aromas is off the scale. Enormously concentrated but precise and filigreed, with an almost overwhelming minerality in the almost endless finish. From old vines in the Les Caves site of Moulin-a-Vent. Matured in used oak barrels from Burgundy for just under a year. Drink or hold." (03/2024)
Current Bid: $100.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2017 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino (94RP, 92VN). Wine Advocate: "The Casanova di Neri 2017 Brunello di Montalcino delivers unexpected grace and a floral profile that is not common to find in this scorching-hot and dry vintage. In faithful Casanova di Neri fashion, the wine is bold and dark in appearance, and although the bouquet is dominated by purple and black fruits, there is a brief interlude of fresh garden rose or lilac. That little moment changes up the momentum of this wine in a most positive way by allowing for a harmony of low tones and high tones that are well matched here. The wine is robust, structured and velvety to the palate, but ultimately this expression is far more delicate than I would have ever expected for a 2017 Brunello. This is a nice surprise. 94+ (ML)" (02/2022)
Current Bid: $330.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1998 Mouton Rothschild, Pauillac (97RP, 96JD, 94DC, 93ST, 92VN). Wine Advocate: "The 1998 Mouton Rothschild is deep garnet-brick in color with lovely crème de cassis, dried roses, hoisin and baking spice notes with underlying notions of dried cherries and mulberries plus touches of wood smoke, incense and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and packed with rich fruit framed by firm, chewy tannins, it is stacked with complex, evolving flavors and finishes with incredibly long-lasting perfumed notes. According to winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, this needs about three hours of decanting at this stage. I simply love the place this wine is in right now, possessing plenty of mature, tertiary characters yet still sporting bags of fruit. (LPB)" (05/2018)
Current Bid: $800.00
Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2009 Gaja "Sperss" Langhe (96ST, 95RP, 94JS, 94VN, 93WS). Int'l Wine Cellar: " Good deep red. Knockout, almost liqueur-like nose combines plum, redcurrant, red licorice, marzipan, menthol, tobacco and loamy earth. Large-scaled, broad and deep, with its powerful sweetness leavened by strong minerality and a distinct medicinal reserve. As concentrated as a solid. The slowly building finish shows inexorable length, saturating the palate with salty minerality. I'd bet on this one for the long haul. (ST) 96+" (11/2013)
Current Bid: $495.00
Bid on this bottle of 2017 Chateau de La Tour Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes ((93-96JM), 95DC, 94WE, 93BH, 93WS). Jasper Morris: "From vines at least 80 years old right across the property, not just the principal block. The cuvée will represent about 8000 bottles. Generous rich purple, the nose offering something more sumptuous than the Classique. It starts discreetly though with a certain plumpness, then it opens out quite forcefully on the palate to much more structure behind. Then sweetly oaked, just needs an ounce more drive to it. 100% new wood." (11/2018)
Current Bid: $165.00
Bid on this bottle of 1999 Castello dei Rampolla "Vigna d'Alceo" Toscana (99RP, 97VN, 96ST, 95WS). Wine Advocate: "The monumental 1999 Vigna d'Alceo is a 20, 000-bottle cuvee of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Sangiovese aged in oak. It boasts an exceptionally provocative nose of liquid minerals, graphite, plums, creme de cassis, and cherry liqueur. It is fabulously concentrated yet remarkably light on its feet, with medium to full body, sweet tannin, and layer upon layer of flavor nuances. There is plenty of glycerin in this rich, but neither heavy nor overbearing effort. This is a thrilling tour de force! However, it requires cellaring. (RP)" (10/2001)
Current Bid: $135.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2009 Dominus Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (98JD, 98JS, 98TWI, 97RP, 97VN, 94WS). James Suckling: "Stunning nose of lavender and flowers. Currants and raspberries. Subtle and intriguing. Full and dense but wonderfully balanced with firm and silky tannins and a persistent finish. Dusty texture. A wine so balanced that you want to drink it already." (10/2012)
Current Bid: $460.00

Of the 2014 Alpha Omega Napa Valley Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot, Antonio Galloni writes writes: "Jean Hoefliger crafts rich, sumptuous Cabernets from a number of top sites at Alpha Omega. The wines are racy, bold and flamboyant, with plenty of character and allure."

Bid on this 9-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2006 Ayoub Dundee Hills Pinot Noir, 2-bottles of 2006 Bryce "Bryce Vineyard" Ribbon Ridge Pinot Noir, 2-bottles of 2006 de Lancellotti "Estate" Chehalem Mountains Pinot Noir, 1-bottle of 2006 Siduri "Clos Pepe" Sta.

Of the 2006 Siduri "Rosella's Vineyard" Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir, 93 points and two stars from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine writes: "Santa Lucia Highland Pinot Noirs are very often defined by their ripeness and weight, and, while this bottling is lacking in neither, it is the wine's balance and sense of real polish that sets it apart.

Bid on this 6-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2010 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah , 1-bottle of 2012 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah , 1-bottle of 2013 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah , 1-bottle of 2016 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah (92WS, 91WE, 90RP), 1-bottle of 2017 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah (93RP), and 1-bottle of 2018 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah (92JD, 91RP, 90WE). Of the 2017 Cuvaison "Diablo" Carneros Syrah , Wine Advocate writes: "Deep purple-black colored, the 2017 Syrah Diablo is a little closed and reduced to begin, opening out to expressive black cherry compote, plum preserves and licorice scents with touches of black pepper, garrigue and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with fresh and crunchy black fruit, supported by soft, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. (LPB)" (10/2019)
Starting Bid: $180.00
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2000 Léoville-Barton, St-Julien (96JS, 96WE, 96WS, 95RP, 94VN, 94W&S). Wine Enthusiast: "Right from the early days of tasting in spring 2001, this was going to be one of the stars of the vintage. And a star it remains. There is big, ripe fruit, with solid, ageworthy tannins. It may not be as powerful as some of the blockbusters of the vintage, but it is certainly more opulent, less classical than Léoville-Barton can sometimes be. (RV)" (06/2003)
Starting Bid: $480.00
Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2021 Bjornson "Magnus" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir (92DC). Decanter: " A wonderfully fleshy Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity Hills, with aromas of clove, violets and crushed blackberries and petrichor. The palate is lush and ripe, yet well balanced with elegance, richness and fresh acidity—flavours of ripe cranberry, blackberry and white pepper, a touch of sweet cherry flesh. (CP)" (05/2023)
Starting Bid: $140.00
Bid on this magnum of 2002 Dominus Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (1.5L) (99RP, 94W&S, 92ST). Wine Advocate: "This 2002 was virtually perfect when I tasted it in early May. Even better than I predicted seven years ago, this 4, 500-case blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot and Merlot has blossomed beautifully, revealing even greater intensity and potential than I predicted. A flawless, seamless integration of tannin, wood, alcohol and acidity is found in this dense, plum/purple-colored Dominus, along with copious notes of sweet black currants interwoven with kirsch, forest floor, unsmoked cigar tobacco, new saddle leather and forest floor. (RP)" (06/2012)
Current Bid: $410.00
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2002 Léoville-Las-Cases, St-Julien (95RP, 94DC, 94JA, 94JS, 94WS, 93ST). Wine Advocate: "The impression is one of a structured wine with considerable density, a ruby/purple color, layers of flavor, and a classic overall personality. The wine exhibits pure black currant, licorice-infused fruit, huge body, a viscous mid-palate, and a long, heady finish. I suspect this wine won’t be nearly as charming as the 2003 in its youth, but it hasn’t yet closed down, and I am amazed at just how rich, intense, and full-bodied it tastes even after bottling. This is certainly one of the half dozen or so candidates for wine of the vintage. (RP)" (04/2005)
Starting Bid: $240.00
Bid on this 3-magnum lot of 2012 López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja (1.5L) (96JS, 95RP, 95VN, 94DC). James Suckling: Savory berries, plums, iron, minerals, tobacco, ink and blood oranges. Very bright, juicy and structured, with sensational balance, aged savoriness and brightness that are typical of Tondonia reds. Beautiful now. (ZS) (08/2024)

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2016 Giscours, Margaux (96JS, 96WE, 95JA, 94DC, 94VN, 93JD, 93RP). Wine Enthusiast: "This nearly 200-acre estate lies in the south of the Margaux appellation. The wine is another great success in a series of superb years. It is rich but the structure and finely textured fruit give it style and longevity. (RV)" (05/2019)

Bid on this bottle of 2005 Tenuta San Guido "Sassicaia" Bolgheri (94WS, 93DC, 93RP, 93VN, 92W&S, 90ST). Wine Spectator: "Dark ruby in color, showing aromas of currant, new oak and fresh herbs, with hints of spices. Full-bodied, with very chewy tannins and an outstanding concentration of fruit. Needs plenty of bottle age. *Collectible* (JS)" (10/2008)
Current Bid: $225.00
Bid on this 6-bottle lot of 2012 Jacques Puffeney Pinot Noir Arbois Rouge. Jacques Puffeney's father was a vineyard worker who owned a mere speck of land in the village of Montigny Les Arsures (just around the corner from Arbois). Jacques made his first wine at the age of 17 but, to earn a living, worked simultaneously as a "saleur de Comte" helping to make the fabled cheese of his region. Little by little he acquired vineyards and now the domaine consists of 7 1/2 hectares, all in the appellation of Arbois. His prowess in both the vineyards and the cave has earned him the nickname among his colleagues of "the Pope of Arbois". The vineyards are situated in the villages of Montigny Les Arsures, Arbois, and Villette des Arbois. Most Americans have never been exposed to the joys of wines from the Jura. Do not be one of these poor masses!

Of the 2018 Far Niente "Dolce" Napa Valley Dessert Wine (375ml), James Suckling writes: "Delicious and aromatic Sauternes-like wine with a spicy, exotic character. It shows dried persimmon, candied peach, fresh honey, saffron and propolis aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and creamy, with a long aftertaste. Very solid, balanced and focused. Really perfumed and flavorful. Drink or hold."

Bid on this 2-magnum lot of 2005 Mommessin Clos de Tart Grand Cru (1.5L) (98WE, 97RP, 97VN, 96BH, 95DC). Wine Enthusiast: A beautiful wine, smooth, polished, with rounded corners. Its intense fruit is balanced and harmonizes well with the sweet tannins, the layers of wood and the red berry flavors. Certainly powerful, it impresses equally with the pleasure it will give in 7–10 years. *Cellar Selection* (RV) (08/2008)

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2012 Caymus "40th Anniversary" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (1L) (96RP, 91WS). Wine Advocate: "They appear to be immune to some of winedom’s less than intelligent trends and fads that we see from time to time, and the result is a spectacular 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon 40th Anniversary offering. Its dense purple/black color is followed by copious quantities of crème de cassis and blackberry fruit, silky tannins, a voluptuous texture and stunning purity as well as length. This full-bodied effort is a fabulous example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon as well as a tribute to this amazing family. Amazing! (RP)" (10/2014)

Bid on this 4-bottle lot of 2016 Ridge Vineyards "Jimsomare" Santa Cruz Mountains Zinfandel. Jimsomare is one of the principal vineyard properties that make up Ridge Vineyards' Monte Bello estate. First planted in the late 19th century, there are few rows of Zinfandel vines dating to that time, but the property was replanted to Bordeaux varietals beginning in 1968. As a source of fruit for the famously long-lived Monte Bello estate wines from Ridge, this high elevation, cool climate vineyard is eminently capable of producing seriously age-worthy wines on its own.

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2016 Beringer "Private Reserve" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (99JS, 97JD, 95RP, 95VN, 95WE, 93WS). James Suckling: "Breathtaking. Exceptional integration of super ripe blackberries and the very finest oak. The tannins build up beautifully, forming wave upon wave as the wine flows across the palate. Then the wave breaks on your palate and shoots way out at the finish, so that you wonder where it will end and normal life begin again. Needs time to soften, but this is so, so good." (02/2019)
