A LIFE IN WINE
The collection that follows was painstakingly assembled over many years and lovingly stored, using careful, state-of-the-art techniques by a wine-loving renaissance man. The collector in question was a renowned physician as well as an active member of the wine trade through his involvement in a family business importing and distributing some of Europe's finest labels. Members of the Chaine des Rotisseurs, the Confrerie de Chevaliers de Tastevin, the Commanderie de Bordeaux and other convivial organizations, the doctor and his wife were lovers of fine food and wine decades before it was fashionable. Their amazing collection of wines were all purchased directly from the European sources upon release, and have been stored in either ideal conditions at his residence, or in professional storage here in the Northeast. This pristine collection offers the savvy buyer an opportunity to purchase exceedingly rare wines in extraordinarily pristine condition.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is justly lauded as the pre-eminent, greatest red wine estate in the whole of Burgundy. It owns exclusively the Grand Cru vineyards of la Romanée Conti and La Tâche. It was a pioneer of Domaine bottling and has been a standard-bearer of authenticity, complexity and quality for the whole region throughout the twentieth century.
Romanée-Conti--Vintage 1990
Côte de Nuits, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
Signs of old seepage
"This is a dramatic wine in every sense of the word yet it's not at all showy but rather discreet and understated. I particularly like the sense of inner power and purity of expression and this is as good a post '45 RC as I ever hope to drink. It should last for another 50 years and if you ever have the chance, don't miss it!" BH, January 1, 2008
