Hart Davis Hart is honored to offer the Steven Verlin Collection, one of the finest single-owner collections to ever come to auction. Steve was a friend to so many and he touched many lives. He had a great passion for life and for wine. This collection unmistakably reflects that man who built it.

Wine and food have always been an important part of life for Steve and Grae Verlin. They traveled the world to experience the greatest restaurants and were regulars at Taillevent, Chez L'Ami Louis and Alain Ducasse. They collected wine carefully, and they built their extraordinary cellar to enjoy it. Steve’s generosity and joie President de vivre were legendary. He was a man who made his own rules. His passion for wine and food led Steve and Paul Hart his partners to open Veritas, the celebrated New York restaurant which drew its amazing wine list in part Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. from Steve’s cellar – a revolutionary concept at the time.

Steve loved to share his bottles, and the stories from so many friends and contacts in the wine world have been astonishing. He opened prized bottles with friends to find the perfect match for take-out Chinese food (they found it was the 1949 Musigny from Vogué in magnum.) He brought along 1982 Mouton Rothschild and Cheval- Blanc when helping a friend teach an introductory wine class, wanting to show the group just how magnificent Bordeaux could be. His choice for the perfect match with his prized Unico from Vega Sicilia was not a complex dish or exotic ingredient, but a simple Sabrett hot dog.

Steve was very much a Francophile with a great passion for Bordeaux. His palate was exceptional. He had a great interest in a broad range of wine regions and regularly traveled the world to seek out new wines. He always focused on quality and condition, and was very often far ahead of his time and the market. The cellar is remarkably deep in so many areas including Rhône, Champagne and Burgundy. The collection contains one of the strongest groupings of top Bordeaux that we have seen, with top vintages and Chateaux represented in a near library like offering. Steve often sought large stocks of great younger wines to lay down in his cold cellar – Bordeaux from 1982, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, 2000 -- purchases that time has proven to be remarkably savvy.

The selection of big bottles is remarkable and reflect Steve and Grae’s desire to share their treasures – including 121 imperials, 106 jeroboams and 231 double-magnums. The grouping represents a rare opportunity for collectors to own their age worthy offerings including an imperial of 1947 Mouton, 1975 Pétrus, 1982 Cheval Blanc, 1989 Haut-Brion and many more.

We hope that you will join us in Chicago at Tru Restaurant on Friday May 4th and Saturday May 5th as we offer what is truly an historic collection. This is a rare opportunity to acquire part of this exceptional cellar from a remarkable man.

Sincerely,

Paul Hart President HART DAVIS HART WINE CO. 363 W. Erie Street Suite 500w Chicago, IL 60610

A Note from Grae Verlin

Why am I offering this portion of my cellar? To experience great wines is to open yourself to many and various pleasures beyond the simple enjoyment of the perfect accompaniment to a great meal. Many lasting friendships have been born over a shared moment with this liquid history in a glass.

Unlike a great work of art, there is more than one bottle of 1959 Latour in the world to be opened, and shared. Over the years I have had the good fortune to have enjoyed every one of these wines in this auction. Thinking about such masterpieces as the 1982 Lafleur, 1945 Haut-Brion, 1975 Pétrus ignite the memories of so many great dinners at Veritas and parties in our home.

More importantly this auction allows me to pay tribute to my best friend, Steve Verlin. For those whom did not have the pleasure of knowing my Stevie this auction will allow them a glimpse of who he was for it is a reflection of him: rare, larger than life, generous. Sharing the bounty of our cellar with the world and allowing others the possibility of creating their own lasting memories is joyous unto itself. It also gives me so much pleasure to know that Steve's legacy will continue each and every time a fellow wine lover opens one of Steve's bottles from their collection to share.

TS : Top shoulder level Normal level for wines 15-20 years old VHS : Very high-shoulder level Typical for any wine of 20 years of age or older

HS : High shoulder level Natural reduction through the cork, usually acceptable

NECK MS : Mid shoulder level Typically due to some deterioration of the cork and BN therefore some variation in overall condition of wine TS VHS LS : Low shoulder level HS Risky, usually not accepted for sale MS LS For Burgundy, German and other wines in bottles with sloping necks the ullage is measured in centimeters from the base of the cork.

Bring your wines to the most experienced wine auctioneers in America.

We are confident that the rare wine market will continue to be robust in the coming season. Let us help you take advantage of this strong market.

If you are interested in thinning your cellar to make room for new wines, please contact us for a complimentary appraisal and complete information regarding our consignment procedures. The first step in the process is submission of a list which details the storage conditions of your cellar, along with quantities and vintages of your wines. Our experts will review your list, determine whether your wines are best suited for auction, website, private retail services, or a combination of approaches. We will also provide appropriate estimates or selling prices.

We may wish to visit your cellar to survey the conditions and inspect individual bottles prior to final selection. Our team can also oversee the arrangement of packing and shipping your wine aboard a licensed temperature-controlled carrier.

Please contact one of our consignment specialists.

Traditional Auctions

Wines may be offered in one of our regularly scheduled auctions, providing the upside potential generated by competitive international bidding. 2006 was another highly successful year, with an average sold rate by value of 98%, the highest of any major wine auction firm in the world. Our auction sales increased by 56%. Bidders participated from nearly every state of the U.S., as well as Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Iceland, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

State of The Art Website

Collectors who prefer the comfort of selling wines at a fixed price in a shorter period of time may do so through our website, hdhwine.com, one of the most dynamic wine retail sites in the world. Although we do not maintain a traditional storefront, our website is open for commerce 24 hours a day, and has become the most reliable source in America for rare wines available for immediate sale. Our site is secure, fast, transaction-ready and fully searchable. Wines consigned to hdhwine.com can frequently be inspected and posted to the website within two weeks of their receipt, allowing consignors to often begin receiving proceeds within a month of the arrival of their wine. Internet buyers may access our entire inventory, from classic wines to new releases, and our inventory can be searched by category, vintage, price, and ratings. We provide extensive tasting notes from critics Robert Parker, Stephen Tanzer, Allen Meadows and Wine Spectator.

Private Retail Services

Our highly qualified team of sales associates is in steady contact with leading collectors around the world, informing them of recent releases and other new arrivals to our vast inventory, assisting with special needs, or simply discussing the latest market trends. We offer highly personalized consultation and sourcing services for buyers at every level.
