The wines in the auction belonged to the consignor’s wife’s uncle, a man who has since retired and downsized his living arrangements. His passion for wines and spirits was driven by a desire to host and share exceptional bottles with friends and family during dinners and gatherings. The collection was meticulously stored in his basement cellar, where it was kept at a regulated temperature and most bottles were sourced from reputable retailers in Alberta and BCLS.
