jparrott Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Did anybody keep the A/C on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe H Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Did anybody keep the A/C on? This could be really interesting. Both for the A/C (I think a good question!) and what these bottles will bring in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Fargione Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I am definitely interested in learning more for obvious near future reasons................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea when the inventory will be available to view on-line? Or is the inspection the only way to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Wine auctions are soooo iffy. I bought a couple cases of some "good" Italian reds when a NE DC wholesaler went through bankruptcy a few years ago. Not a single bottle was drinkable. We saved a few bottles, hoping they'd be useful for cooking. Wrong. I'll stick with the reputable, reliable retailers we have here in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deangold Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Did anybody keep the A/C on? I loved the auction video preview. Not a word on storage conditions even since the auctioneers have taken over possession. There are some fine wines to be sure, but months, especially the past few months, without temperature control would render any of these wines suspect.

DanielK Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 If you really want to know whether the A/C was left on, just contact Rasmus and ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. B Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 If you really want to know whether the A/C was left on, just contact Rasmus and ask! The catalog specified that the sparkling wines and majority of the whites were stored in a "cooler" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deangold Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yes but was the cooler turned on all this time? Of course we can call Rasmus. But it would seem that a company in the business of auctioning off closed restaurants would specify in their catalog something about the condition of the wine, at least from when they received it. They are fairly meticulous about giving the conditions of the equipment they auction off. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
