In 2007, SKINNER, Inc. inaugurated public wine auctions in their Park Plaza gallery (Boston). The wine director and principal auctioneer is Marie Keep (mkeep@skinnerinc.com, 978-779-6241). If you are an potential consigner or active buyer, Marie can provide an up-to-date assessment of the secondary market. In their brief tenure, Skinner sales have already resulted in several “world records”.
The May 2010 sale was the most successful sale yet.
Lower Falls serves as a logistical partner in this venture. Our in-house liason is Lauren Collins (lcollins@lowerfallswine.com, 617-332-3000).
The next Auction is scheduled for Tuesday, November 2nd.
To date, the centerpiece lot is a single consigner 50 case parcel of First Growth Bordeaux from 1995 – 2004 [Haut Brion, Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton one owc for each year of the indicated span.]
We are looking to fill out the auction with collectible California labels.
On Wednesday, November 3d, Skinner will inaugurate a Master Class session with a noted Oregon founder/winemaker. Details TBA.
