• The barrel auctions provide opportunities for savvy oenologists to
acquire excellent wines at reasonable prices.
 •
Barrel auction winners can have their wine bottled in unusually large bottles, increasing their rarity value.
• In the live
auctions, cult wines, such as Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle and
Colgin Cellars, may fetch top dollar.
• Unique
collections, such as those offered by Joseph Phelps Vineyards, Shafer Vineyards and Far Niente, are expected to appreciate
significantly over time.
• The opportunity to meet vintners and
cultivate relationships is, in itself, an excellent
investment, since it can secure coveted places on allocation lists. Back to main article: "The Gavel and the Grape"
