Bill Koch

US billionaire Bill Koch is an avid collector of wine and has been involved in a number of high-profile lawsuits over counterfeit wines in the past, most notably against Hardy Rodenstock for the sale of wine purported to have been owned by Thomas Jefferson.

Koch also sued Rudy Kurniawan, as well as the auction house Acker, Merrall & Condit, through whom Koch purchased Kurniawan’s wine. He had been claiming damages of US$4.2 million after buying (he claims) over 200 fake bottles from the house between 2005 and 2006 for over $2.1m.

Earlier this year Acker Merrall & Condit paid a“substantial sum” to Koch in an out of court settlement in relation to the Kurniawan case.

    Doris Duke, the daughter of an American tobacco baron should also be remembered for her incredible time capsule of a cellar with the latest vintage being 1937. She had quite a life.

    I’m missing Adi Werner, owner of Arlberg Hospiz Hotel and his unique collection of 5000 Bordeaux in big bottles. Get a impression of his amazing cellar at http://chris.rebok.de/portfolio/wine-cellar/arlberg-hospiz-alm/

    I am about to promote this collection of wines that I have been asked by the wife of the deceased owner, Jurgon Jacobs, to sell the complete collection of vintage wines dating back to 1855. If you would like to have a preview of this collection, then please take a look at this website. You may wish to purchase this collection or you might know of someone who would like to own it.

    Many Thanks
    Gilbert Sharrard

    I have a few bottles of wine that I would like to sell to a collector.
    They are kept in a cellar, but I am pretty sure that some are off.
    List :
    9 bottles of Chateau la Fleur Saint Georges, appellation Lalande de Pomerol, vintage 1970.
    3 bottles of Alsace Trimbach, cuvée Frédéric Émile, 1992.
    1 bottle of Chateau Corbin, Montagne – Saint-Émilion, 1966.
    1 bottle of Yalumba Angas Brut, rose, Australian sparkling wine, L5347
    Thank you.

    This is an old string so I am not sure anyone monitors it. My husband has the entire Artist Series of Kenwood wines from 1975. Including two of the bottles that were never sold at market which include the naked lady and the skeleton lady. All the bottles are pristine. If this is something you are interested, please let me know. We are looking to sell the entire collection which is currently located in Fresno, CA.

    Kindest Regards,

    Julie

    Hi Folks, I found a bottle of what looks to be un-opened Champagne, but not sure what it is. I found it at my grandfathers about 35 years ago after he passed. Its produced by a company called L. N. Renault & sons established in 1870. Could anyone please direct me to way to find out more about it? Whether it has value perhaps? It has a PA liquor sticker board sticker on it. My email is rickygelb@gmail.com I can send photos. Thank you. F. Scott Gelb

    I have an unopened bottle of 1937 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti LA TACHE. The cork was damaged and one third of the wine has evaporated. I has not been cellared properly and is most likely not drinkable. I’d like to know its value.

    Hello,
    We have discovered a very old wine glass during the excavations under the house.
    It is estimated that the old sealed wine has been there for 1500 years. Now it is being tested by the scientists at the university.

    For serious people who are interested can e-mail. We will send the picture of the wine.

    Thanks,
