Rare Wines for Sale (for a steal)

[Kcwhippet]

Well, you're not getting much action here or on Mark Squire's EZine. The folks on the Wine Lovers Page seems to not be terribly interested, either. Anyway, I started a little research on your bottles, too, and I don't see which ones are "extremely valuable". You say you paid $100 for the Cos back in 89. It seems to be going for a low of $135 and a high of $146.25 on the auction circuit. The 80 Rubicon is getting $39.38 and the 84 Dominus is getting $73. I'm finding the Tinto Cosecha at $26. Etc. etc. Also, I hope you realize that if you sold directly to a collector, you'd get somewhat less than the auction prices.

Personally, I'm not a fan of wines that old for a number of reasons. First, I have no idea of the real long term storage conditions of each of the wines. For instance, how many different places has the Tinto Cosecha been since release. You say it's been in a dark, cool basement since 1989. Where was it for the previous 19 years? At any rate, I really like younger, fruitier wines, so yours have no appeal to me.

Good luck.
