Auction Napa Valley Raises $6.5 Million for Local Youth
By the time the final gavel fell at the 45th edition of Auction Napa Valley, the event had raised $6.5 million for Napa nonprofits that support after-school and summer programs for children. It was a dramatic finish to a weekend of celebration involving dinners with vintners, tastings of yet-to-be-released wines and bidding on unique bottles and lavish travel experiences.

Counterfeit Crusader Auctions Cellar
William “Bill” Koch, who amassed a 43,000-bottle cellar of rare wines and launched a crusade of litigation to stamp out sales of counterfeits, consigned nearly 7,800 bottles from his collection to Christie’s, which conducted a three-day auction of the wines in June. The sale raised $28.8 million. The top lot was a methuselah (equal to eight 750ml bottles) of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti 1999, which brought in $275,000.

Timorasso Stands the Test of Time
Five years ago I wrote about the resurgence of Timorasso (“The Return of a Piedmont Original, columns, Nov. 30, 2020), a traditional Piedmont white grape variety from the hills of the Colli Tortonesi. Thanks to the efforts of local vintner Walter Massa, along with Elisa Semino of La Colombera and others, Timorasso is not only thriving; it has attracted a number of investors from nearby Langhe.

Nicolas Joly and His Loire Valley Wines Remain Outspoken
Nicolas Joly prescribes a simple test to determine whether a wine is “alive.” Leave the bottle open for weeks and taste it every few days or so. If the wine remains unchanged or even improves over time, it is a “true, alive” wine. If not, the wine will become oxidized in a day. “When a wine has received life properly in the vineyard, then oxidation has no power,” Joly says. “We can taste when a wine’s energy has been destroyed by bad farming and then someone used enology in the cellar to ‘create’ the wine.”
