Fine and Rare... One of our best cellar purchases in quite some time!
Fine and Rare... One of our best cellar purchases in quite some time!
We have been trying to get this cellar for many years. A local collector who has meticulously stored these wines since release in what can only be described as a “wine bunker”. Constant 60 degree temperature and optimal humidity-not to mention a door that reminded me of Fort Knox! Now is the perfect time to take advantage of these treasures with great provenance
p.s. That picture of the the thermometer came from this cellar!
