Wine Auction: Friday, Sept.12

This Friday, September 12, and starting at 6pm, Skinner will hold their first Fine Wine Auction in collaboration with Lower Falls Wine Co. The wine auction will be held at Skinner's offices at 63 Park Plaza, Boston, MA.

Their wine catalogue is now available online. There are 216 lots up for auction. You will find Bordeaux and Burgundy, California Cabernet Sauvignon, Port, Champagne, Penfolds Grange, Italian wines, and Oregon Pinot Noir. The majority of lots are French wine.

Some of the top lots include:
9 bottles of 1982 Chateau Mouton Rothschild, valued at $6000-$9000. This wine was awarded 100 points by Robert Parker.
12 bottles of 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, valued at $6000-$9000. This wine was awarded 100 points by Robert Parker.
6 bottles of 2002 Harlan Estate from California, valued at $4000-$6000. This wine was awarded 100 points by Robert Parker.
A magnum of 1959 Château Lafite-Rothschild, valued at $6000-$8000. This wine was awarded 99 points by Robert Parker.

The auction is open to the public and should be interesting to view, even if you might not purchase anything. I am likely to attend.
