Skinner, a large auction house, is going to start holding wine auctions in Boston. No other auction houses in Massachusetts currently hold wine auctions. Skinner’s retail partner in this venture is Lower Falls Wine Co. Their first wine auction will be held on September 14, 2007 at 6pm at their 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 cheapest lot is valued at $60-$90.
The auction is open to the public and should be interesting to view, even if you might not purchase anything.
