Skinner, an auction house that generally handled fine art and antiques, has just started a fine wine dept. and will hold their first wine auction in Boston, MA on September 14. They will have about 200 lots, valued at around $250K.

You can still buy the greatest wine ever, the 1811 Chateau d’Yquem for a mere $100,000. The same cash wouldn’t come close to buying the world’s greatest painting or sculpture. Not that I would vouch for the d’Yquem’s authenticity, however.
