But what a difference a few months make. After the hugely successful La Paulee auction in March, the world changed. Our first concerns were for the health and well-being of our employees, the lifeblood of Zachys. While keeping everyone safe, we wanted to continue to do business, and that means bringing you amazing collections of the finest and rarest wines. And I’ve been reassured to see that the market is strong. We’ve got plenty of amazing wine to sell, and prices haven’t changed since the March auction. In the retail world at Zachys, business is up. And on May 8, in Hong Kong, we launched a concept we’ve wanted to test for a long time. For years, we’ve jokingly called it the “auction in a box.” An auctioneer on your computer, live-streamed from our office, with the same phone and absentee bidding, but with no room. Sorry, no steaks from Smith & Wollensky! I was there at 6:30am EST for this Hong Kong Evening Sale, and it was a success, and so we’re doing it again. For the vast majority of you who live outside of the New York area, this auction is no different from any other. For those used to joining us at a restaurant, you’ll have to stay home. One thing that is the same, though, is the amazing selection of rare wines on offer, all with excellent provenance. These are the highest-quality product you can buy. As I have said many times, “At Zachys, you can bid with confidence.” This sale is no different. Dozens of lots of DRC, Roumier, Rousseau, Coche-Dury, the best of Bordeaux from the “Big 8,” loads of lots of Le Pin, and one of the coolest collections of Madeira—dating back to the 18th-century—that I can remember seeing in one of our auctions. At the end of the auction, we are offering several “expe- riential” lots from organizations that have had their charity fundraisers cancelled due to Covid-19. For a trip to Napa or a private chef in your home (valid until the end of 2021) these lots are some of the rarest in the catalog, and I’m delighted to say we won’t be charging a buyer’s premium, so you can make your winning bid a donation to one of these 501(c)(3) organizations. In the past 75 years, Zachys has seen a lot of changes. The one common thread that has run through the business is our commitment to our employees, and to fine wine. In a way, everything has changed, and nothing has. I can’t wait to “see” you in the saleroom for this auction. Be safe, Jeff Zacharia President 4 Day 1 Lots 1–877 June 4 at 9:00 AM EST 5 THE FINEST BORDEAUX & BURGUNDY FROM A MEMBER OF THE WINE TRADE (LOTS 1-92) Highly regarded as one of the top collectors of his generation, this collector and wine merchant has amassed a collection of stunning bottles in obscene quantities.
