We have recently heard a lot about incredible occasions in the secondary liquor market, but Christie’s famous liquor collector and anti -flood crusader William “Bill” is a real head turner. The world’s best producers feature 1,500 many excellent vintages with a low estimate of $ 15 million, which has a three-day two-day shelter for Christie’s first direct auction staded alcohol in New York City-which has a large number of large forms of 750 Super B.

The coach acknowledged that Portuguese were introducing liquor during a grade school in the early 1960s. “I remember this hobby because it comes into a mud jug you can use for a candle.” Rob reports However, he took a quick attraction towards Bergundi and Bordeaus, and after the 1976 decision of Paris tasting, Napa became aware of California’s wine after highlighting the standard of Swagenon. It has just done it in the later decades to collect the world’s largest liquor reservoir, and extend it to such a large basement, there is no possibility that it will be able to work through it. So now he is selling a portion of his 20,000 remaining bottles (he also auctioned 20,000 back in 2016) with the hopes of people in fact with the hopes of drinking them. “I am separated from alcohol that I have spent many years to collect, take care of and enjoy,” says the coach. “These bottles are like old friends. I hope other wine eager people will drink, laugh and prepare big memories with their family and friends. They are open and enjoyed.”

The sale opens on June 12 with 48 separate shampins with the choice of Kyrg, Salon, and Dom Pergun, and continues until June 14, when people whose tastes move towards Harlan State, screaming eagles, and hundred acres of Napa Power Houses, they have the opportunity to score prize bottles. Highlights on the way include 295 individuals, Da La La Romani Content, 363 additional Burgundy, such as coach Dori, Dougock, Commit Lagar-Beer, and Mayo Kimos, and 607 lots such as Chatito Margox, Pence, Pence, Pence, Penns, and Costo Routes. D Estorial.

By pulling the basement of your homes in Palm Beach, Cape Code, and Sipin, the coach says these bottles “can be the most scrutinized in the world.” He sent the bottles back to his home chats to check the ventures against his records and to test paper structure and printing on the labels. He says, “I have tested them with nuclear spectrographs to find out that their nuclear structure is similar to historical records.” “I have a number of experts from the comb from France, England, and the United States who examine bottle shapes, sizes, labels, capsules and carx through their combination.” In addition, Christie’s team researched and inspected its basement, tested each bottle and reduce any level of reduction, proof of cork seepage, or any problem that does not meet the quality of the house. This is a suitable level of inquiry for the coach, known in the world of alcohol, known as the man who brought down the fraudulent Rodi Karniawan and Hardy Roden stock. He believes that the level of check that he is buying or selling has affected the auction home verification and quality control view.

The coach tells Rob reports That he celebrated the 2013 Karniawan decision with a dinner in Lee Cark in New York, which included a liquor expert, Michael Eagen, who testified in the criminal case of Karniavan, and FBI agent Jim Wen, who helped him bring him to justice. He says, “We brought some of Karniawan’s alcohol and got them together with the real thing.” “We opened a Magnum Domain Da La Romani-Cwthi, 1978, the Hermetage La Chapel of 1961, and the Peters of 1945. Karniawan’s La Chapel was the nearest that he found in the match, but it was still short. The other two were not close.” There is no stranger to celebrate, the coach also had the opportunity to resurrect him after the victory of his US Cup in 1992, though the tab was on someone else at the time. He and his team enjoyed the shining wine from Chandon in the Napa Valley. “The Louis vote, which patronized the program, was giving bottles of megum.” “I couldn’t provide good wine for free.”

Surprisingly, the coach did not meet many of the owners of Chittia, from where he bought bottles after the fraud incidents took place. The coach says, “I had had numerous opportunities to visit the domain Da La Romani-County in the past years, but it was not after Rodi Karniawan’s trial that I met with Ober De Villen and walked with me.” The same is true for Peter’s owners Christian Mox and alcohol maker Jean Claude Barrowet. “We talked about how the counterfeiter Hardy Roden Stock flooded the liquor market with bottles of Patters in large shapes, and for decades, it turned away.” The Roden Stock for the first time appeared on the Chaitto’s radar in the 1970s when some German collectors called the vineyard to the garden that they were looking for a provision on large format Peters, which they had purchased from fraud. The coach says, “When Peters said he never had a record of making them, Roden Stock sent a series of dirty faxes.” “I have a whole collection of them.”

Vice President and International Director at Christie, Paul Tortora and International Wine Director, Coach told us that the coach always had a mood for large -shaped bottles because he liked to entertain alcohol. That’s why many people here are hitting the auction block from the gathering. “I have a long list of prominent people who shared my table,” says the coach. “Ted Kennedy were watching on the cap code, such as John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz.

In the treasures that sampled from the lots, we belonged to Joseph Drahin 1989 Montectorate Marquis de Lagoche Magnum, a beautiful shade of yellow and it had the aroma of apple sauce, lemon yogurt and lemons. حیرت انگیز طور پر تازہ ، اس میں بھرپور ماؤتھ فیل اور تازہ سبز سیب ، بارٹلیٹ ناشپاتیاں ، اور بٹرسکوچ ذائقے تھے جن میں تیزابیت اور لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی لمبی جماعت تھی۔ Although many wine lovers may be ashamed to buy old white burgundy, fear of premature oxidation problems that were found from the mid -1990s from the mid -1990s, this is certainly not the case based on our efforts. In three days of the auction, many white burgundy people are offered, and they are among the best value gems on the offer. For example, the Magomemus of the Drawan Montrachit is estimated at $ 600, which is a matter of 000 100,000, 000 150,000, that the domain de larnani-County 1999 is a Methola-County of the Roman é-County, which is called the “Final Tamyawala Bottle”.

Although the auction is filled with Tortora, as “icons, collective, and monuments”, there are many bottles that are now ready to drink and are incredibly priced. For example, another bottle we sample, is estimated at $ 150, Kos D Estorial 1990, which is less than the current vintage cost. It has severe concentrations and the flavors of the Elder berry and the Mandol. “This is a beautiful wine that is ready to drink today,” says Tortora. It makes more understanding than buying the current release. ” “In 35 years, it is beautifully drinking alcohol, and you need to bind to storage costs.” Tortora also reminds us that many collectors focus on vintages rather than producers, and the incredible alcohol of 1989, 1990 and 1996 has been well represented. He says, “One of the selection of this sales, you can really open the catalog on any page and you can find something good.”

Although the coach’s palm batch seller looks like a slightly European museum, which he completed with Roman mosaics he bought at the auction, he bought the walls, but he retains his Chatto Decade, of which 34 are lots, near the entrance to the door so that he can run down a bottle and get down a bottle. He says, “It has been a hard work of love to collect these alcohol.” “I bought some bottles because of their historical significance, I have wine that I like to drink. I hope that anyone who buys them enjoys them as much as I have.” From a unicorn reservoir that can never open for large old bottles of underworld producers, the sale of Christie’s wines is by the person known as the Great American Collector, making a generation in a generation or finding an incredible dinner party and even a better story to find a better bottle.
