Cellar Tasting of Iconic Age-Worthy Wines for Six (6)

80-90% of wine around the world is consumed within 48 hours of purchase. Not everyone has the space or time or, let's face it, patience to cellar wines. But we know that some wines do really get better with age - specifically the likes of Bordeaux, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Barolo, and Napa Valley Cabernets.

Don't miss your chance for this once-in-a-lifetime tasting of some iconic wines aged to their prime! Bill Bounds, the owner of Charlotte's premier wine storage facility, Cork Vault, has compiled a list of some of the best mature wines from his personal cellar. Given his profession, we feel certain that they have been handled with the utmost care during aging! If you are the winning bidder of this experience, Bill, along with a Cork Vault member (acting as emcee) will invite you and five (5) friends to join them for a six (6) bottle tasting of like no other. You will CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!

Bill has given a list of options to inspire your six (6) choices from his cellar, but the winning bidder will have the opportunity to explore Bill's cellar and tailor the tasting to their liking.
