I bid on about 10 lots, with a budget ceiling, and hit it almost right on the nose, with a single lot of port.

Anyone else get anything?

BTW, I have a list of all the unsold lots, which can be had for the reserve price, which unfortunately is only a bit lower than the low end of the published range, which I found to be rather high considering the economy and late publishing of the catalogue.

I'd love to see the unsold lot list... were any of the California Rhone Rangers (Saxum, Pax, Copain) on the list?

I would like a copy of that as well.

Lack of time and guilt over my massive Classics order (even though I won't get most of it) made me stay away. I would like to both see what I missed and potentially be able to scoop some onsold lots.

I would like to see the unsold list also (and the final prices for the items that sold), are they publicly available anywhere/will they be?

Bid on 5 lots, got two of them... 1982 Gruaud Larose and 2003 Brancaia Ilatria. I guess prices were down, as I usually bid on 15-20 lots and get 1-2.

I reviewed the Unsold Lots listing (thanks bman).
WOW! Not much in the way of 'deals'.

Only one I personally found the least bit tempting was Lot 66; Martinelli Blue Slide Ridge Pinot Noir (1 btl of '02 & 3 btls of '03).Some nice PN, that one.

They're insane about their '01 Dead Arm pricing and a bit rich on the '01 & '02 Peter Michael 'Les Pavots' mags (very nice wine, BTW, but pricy).
Lot 1352; 12 Almavivas for a $1300 Reserve!? Eek

Picked up a few lots of Bordeaux for decent price even with juice....

Yup, the unsold list is insane with the reserve price, but I am sure some of them will get sold....

Anybody have trouble getting the list through bman's email can email me at wilfyu at gmail dot com.....
