Great Estates Fine Wine Valentine Edition
LOCAL PICKUP ONLY.
Ripley Auctions, established over 30 years ago, helps individuals, businesses, and executors sell items through consignment in a wide variety of categories. Ripley Auctions is excited to present a selection of several hundred fine wine lots, consigned from two well-established, private cellars in the Indianapolis area.
The first estate is that of Charlie & Ellen Hughes. Their wines presented in this auction were collected over 5 decades by these long-standing members of the prestigious Food and Wine Society, Chaîne des Rôtisseurs https://www.chaineus.org/, based in Paris. Many of their wines were sourced directly from wineries, as well as, some of the best fine wine stores in the country. Kahn’s Fine Wines locally and Binny's in Chicago, or Sam's as it was known decades ago just to name a few.
The other collection of wines have been optimally stored in a below-ground cellar under a large slab of concrete ensuring cool consistent temperatures. Ideal conditions for fine wines to evolve over decades in darkness and peace.
These lots include vintages not seen for decades from some of the best regions in the world, including Bordeaux, Tuscany, Piemonte, Australia, and of course, Napa and Oregon.
Bidding is now open, with the timed auction set to begin on Thursday, February 13th at 6PM EST.
If you have an appreciation for exceptional wines and hard-to-find vintages, this is an auction you will not want to miss.
