can’t believe i’ve missed three in a row now…

understood that it isn’t a tasting, thanks for the note, lol.

just was wondering some more info. the burgundy auction was a little rich for my blood but the others tend to be better for me.

I appreciate the PM from the NICE forumite here explaining this to me without the sass.

I love wine and the community I’ve met, but man, sometimes wine people really show their true stereotypes. oye vey.

I didnt realize there was a tasting that was part of this. How does it work? Someone want to help enlighten me? I’m kinda pissed i missed the burg auction now!

Just answering your question.

It’s not uncommon for auction houses to host a preview tasting. Bonhams here in SF does this sometimes.

Michael,

Sorry if you were offended but I believe this group answered your question pretty straight. They are a pretty good group.

It’s a wine auction. People go there to bid/buy wine. It is not a tasting, or at least it is not supposed to be. HDH graciously provides some wine to drink and Tru graciously provides glassware and service for those who bring wine to drink/share or order of off TRU’s list while they are participating in the auction.

Indeed, this is not a tasting. HDH/Tru generously allow BYO at the auctions and my notes were mostly the result of sharing the bottles we brought with others.

@C Fu

pretty sure every wine auction would prefer to have their attendees as lubricated as possible to encourage a little bit of spending

Ain’t that the truth.

Is there a wine auction that doesn’t allow byo and doesn’t pour wine?

[Nick_Gangas]

Didn’t use to do it. I think it’s the gift from Kapon to the wine world

I only reply to people who use their real names.
