EXUBERANT COLLECTING OF THE WORLD'S FINEST
Portions from this client's large collection have been offered at our October 25, 2008 sale of Fine and Rare Wines. The consigner's enviable position as a close friend and associate to those in the trade have allowed him unique access to coveted producers and their wines. He has bought widely and freely and stored his finds perfectly in a most impressive and beautiful home cellar.
Removed from pristine home storage by a team of Christie's specialists for this sale. All wines purchased through East Coast distributers.

CAYMUS
Founded by Chuck Wagner in 1972, the winery was named after the Caymus Indians. Mr. Wagner came from an old Napa family who began farming in the region in the early 1900s. The first vines were planted in the 1940s and as most farmers did then, they simply sold their grapes. Finally Wagner decided the grapes were too good to sell and began making them into wine himself in 1972. The Special Selection Cabernet was first made in 1975 and quickly established itself as one of the regions finest wines. Today few would argue that little has changed: it is still a family business and still a great wine year after year.
