This edition of Zachys’ monthly zCollections starts with a special treat: 220 lots of treasure from the estate of the legendary collector Tawfiq Khoury! Over the decades, Mr. Khoury amassed an incredible collection of the world’s best wines. Bordeaux gems, rare vintage Burgundies and Rhones plus an amazing selection of vintage Riesling from the top producers in Germany as well as rare Madeira. What’s even better is that Mr. Khoury’s main collection will headline Zachys’ June 30th sale later this month, so save the date! In addition to the first fantastic 220 lots, Zachys is proud to offer the same, excellently curated selection that you all have come to expect: wines from the world’s major wine producing regions, and all from the same cellars as Zachys famous live auctions.
Unlike the live auctions, zCollections auctions include wines starting at under $50 per bottle, and often include the greatest wines in the world in “taster-sized” lots of one or two bottles, as opposed to full cases. With the same strict eye for provenance and conditions that Zachys brings to live auctions (indeed most consignments are included in both live and online auctions), zCollections offers collectors new and experienced alike the opportunity to try something new. In addition, zCollections offerings often offer a more diverse selection of wines: spending some time perusing the auction can often yield surprising results!
