DonRocks Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dear Client, As always "some" gems managed to fall into the Grand Canyon ... I count 309 out of 787 that failed to meet low-estimate, and are now being sold at reserve. While not a "collapse," it's certainly a correction. And from what I hear, last Thursday's "Extraordinary Wines" auction at Zachy's was dismal. All the more reason to drink with gusto! Rocks. -------------------------------- Dear Client, As always, some gems managed to slip through the cracks and are available on a first come, first served basis until 2pm ET Monday. All premiums, etc., still apply. An asterisk ' * ' refers to a mixed lot - see your catalog for more details. Our next auction is November 15th in Hong Kong!

Wine Guy 23 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Click. here it is in simple terms... "'It's now a buyer's market. Good wines are available at good prices and have come back into the buyer's remit. In the short-term traders may be cautious, but others will see it as an opportunity. There are some good deals available" (quote from Decanter) People have, at least the wise, have finally come to heart that paying over the reserve only benefits the auction house, not the buyer. as they pay out another 20% on top of the hammer price, taxing on the "tip" making the lot even heavier in price. it is about time that the prices have begun to fall as hopefully it assists with the primeur wine releases coming to a more even medium of release prices, rather than the gouging they have done in the recent years after the 2000 vintage. the time is right to buy for the cellar, or release some old gems, that you bought for a mere penny years ago. like the 75 la mission haut brion, if purchased before 2000 would have been a mere 250.00, or back in the 80's probably less than 50.00. now it goes consistently for 750.00+. go figure. same for screaming eagle (750.00 from the winery for mailing list clients) goes for 1200 avg. topping at 1500, or scarecrow (from the winery, 125.00) on the market 300+. crazy world. time to buy is now, if you know what to look for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpschust Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 All I have to say is that my current insanely hard macroeconomics class is useful if for nothing else than understanding and estimating future exchange rates so as to leverage my ability to buy wine based on the EUR vs USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
