Rest assured that he is left with a massive cellar to enjoy and continues to purchase regularly! This selection focuses largely on Bordeaux, Burgundy and Italy, though highlights from Champagne, the Rhône Valley, Spain, California and Australia appear as well. Sourcing was done either from HDH auctions, HDH retail, or as futures from other reputable merchants. The wines off ered in this auction were removed from one of several commercial storage facilities used to house The Chittenden Cellar and transported to HDH’s Delaware warehouse via temperature-controlled truck.
