October 2009

We want to thank all of those who bid in our September 12 auction. Bidders from all over the

world were actively buying throughout the day. Not only did we open great wines and enjoy Tru’s

exceptional cuisine, but the most winning bids went to those who came to Chicago and bid in

the saleroom. We are also pleased that so many bidders are utilizing hdhlive.com to bid live

online, where we had our most active day since we launched hdhlive.com over two years ago.

Our second auction of the fall season is full of exciting consignments. Launching the sale is a

group from hockey legend Mario Lemieux (lots 1-113). The Hockey Hall of Famer and now owner

of the Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins is a renowned collector who is offering a

fourth consignment with HDH. The consignment showcases the best from Bordeaux, including

top ‘82s from Lafi te, Mouton and Pétrus, as well as greats from the ‘90 vintage such as Cheval-

Blanc, Margaux, Latour and Lafl eur.

The Lemieux Collection also features a remarkable offering from the 2000 vintage, with over

20 Châteaux represented, including all of the First Growths along with the highly sought La

Mission Haut-Brion and Pétrus. The depth of this group is also notable, with six full cases of

the 2000 Cheval-Blanc, fl anked by four full cases in magnum and two imperials, all in original

wooden cases.

Highest quality veins of Bordeaux can be found throughout this auction. Highlights include a great

cross-section of classic vintages including full cases of the 1982, 1986 and 1989 vintages found in

a top Midwestern Cellar (lots 221-259) and remarkable case lots of modern Bordeaux in two deep

collections featured in lots 713-769 and 813-878. The selection of Château Lafi te-Rothschild is

also impressive, with over 60 lots offered and over 30 full cases from a span of vintages.

Burgundy collectors have certainly not been left out! With jeroboams from the great 1971 vintage

offered from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (Richebourg lot 295, Romanée-St.-Vivant lot 296,

Grands-Echézeaux lot 297). The auction contains an exceptional amount of Romanée-Conti, and

bidders searching should review lots 138-152, 253-269 and 879-893. Also, don’t miss the gems

from Raveneau located in lots 366-388, an excellent opportunity to win a few lots of top Chablis.

I must also point out the historic Madeiras in the auction, the fi nest we have seen in many

sales. I would point to the collection in lots 665-712 which contains historic eighteenth and

nineteenth century bottles from the best vintages and producers. The fortifi ed wines from this

small Portuguese-owned island are sought after for their complexity, great range of fl avors and

astonishing aging potential. This is only a small portion of an extensive and carefully assembled

collection, and it features iconic wines such as the 1827 Boal from Quinta do Serrado and

famous Terrantez including 1802 Terrantez from Acciaioly, and 1846 from Borges.

We hope that you will come and join us in Chicago for our October 24 auction. If you are unable

to join us, you can leave absentee bids with us via hdhwine.com or join the auction live online

via hdhlive.com. Our team is dedicated to providing you with top service however you choose to

bid and we remind you of our exceptional retail offerings available daily on hdhwine.com.

Cheers!

Burgundy BYOB Wine Dinner at Les Nomades

Friday, October 23, 2009

7:00 Reception, 7:30pm Dinner

Les Nomades

222 E. Ontario St.

Chicago, IL

$175 (all inclusive)

Please join Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. at Les Nomades for a fantastic Burgundy themed BYOB wine dinner paired with

the exquisite French cuisine of Chef Chris Nugent. This event is a great opportunity to share some treasures from

your cellar as well as some gems from the cellars of HDH. The evening includes a Champagne reception and a three-

course meal in the private dining room of Les Nomades.

For more information or questions, please contact Maria Elgass at [email protected] or 312.573.5597.

Chicago Tribune Review of Les Nomades:

“Visiting Les Nomades is like a step back in time, no question about it, but that’s not to say that this superb

kitchen has lost relevance, or any of its ability to excite and delight. Les Nomades is out of style the way

good manners are out of style. The rarity of the experience makes you appreciate it all the more…. There is

something very comforting about Les Nomades. The downstairs dining room, so Parisian in its clean lines

and art-fi lled walls, and the romantic upstairs room, clad in wood and draped in heavy fabric, are as familiar

and comfortable as old friends.” Phil Vettel, Chicago Tribune

A MAGNIFICENT SELECTION OF RARE MADEIRA

FROM THE CELLAR OF A KNOWLEDGEABLE

COLLECTOR AND LONG TIME FRIEND

A remarkable offering of Madeira including top vintages

that are now rarely seen in the market. Incredibly

complex, hearty, versatile and quite possibly the longest

lasting of all wines, Madeira has continued to be highly

sought by collectors. Though the owner has only started

to thin his collection, there are many of the best vintages

from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries offered

here, such as 1792, 1802, 1846 and 1920.

Ullage, Bottle Size Descriptions & Summary of Abbreviations Used in this Catalog

LEVELS OF WINE

For Bordeaux, Port and other wines in bottles with defi ned shoulders the extent of ullage (or wine level in the bottle) is de-

scribed by its position in the bottle. Our interpretations are as follows:

NECK

The normal level of young wines

BN : Base neck level

Totally acceptable for any age of wine

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

MS : Mid shoulder level

Typically due to some deterioration of the cork and therefore

some variation in overall condition of wine

LS : Low shoulder level

Risky, usually not accepted for sale

For Burgundy, German and other wines in bottles with sloping

necks the ullage is measured in centimeters from the base of

the cork.

BOTTLE SIZES

Half-bottle: 375 milliliters (ML)

Bottle: 750 milliliters (ML)

Magnum: 1.5 liters (L)

Double-magnum: 3 liters (L)

Jeroboam:* 5 liters (L), except when used to designate

Burgundy or sparkling wine, in which case

the contents are 3 liters (L)

Rehoboam: Same literage as a jeroboam, but in a

bottle of different shape

Imperial: 6 liters (L)

Methuselah: Same literage as imperial, but in a bottle of

different shape

Salmanazar: 9 liters (L)

Balthazar: 12 liters

Nebuchadnezzar: 12 to 16 liters (L)

Melchior: 18 liters (L)

Case: 12 standard bottles, 24 half-bottles

PROCEDURES FOR

BIDDING & PAYMENT

CONDITIONS OF SALE

Bidders are strongly encouraged to read the Conditions of Sale

contained in this catalog that state the terms governing the

purchase of all property sold at auction.

BIDDER REGISTRATION

Bidders attending the auction will be required to register for

a bidding paddle prior to the auction. We strongly encourage

new bidders to pre-register with us at least 48 hours prior to

the auction. Please be prepared to provide bank references,

indentifi cation and a major credit card. Please contact Kelly

Aluise at 312.482.9649 or [email protected] to complete

the pre-registration process.

A Registration Desk will be staffed at Tru beginning one hour

prior to the beginning of the session until the completion of the

auction session. Major credit cards and/or driver’s licenses will

be required as identifi cation. Bidders must be at least 21 years

old and may be required to show proof of age. A valid credit

card must be presented with all bids. Bidding will be by paddle

only, and all transactions are subject to the Conditions of Sale.

DESCRIPTION OF WINE

To the best of our knowledge, all wines benefi ted from proper

storage prior to being delivered to our temperature and

humidity-controlled cellar. Every bottle has been carefully

inspected by our experts and described as accurately as pos-

sible at the time this catalog went to press. However, buyers

of older and more fragile wines must make proper allowances

for natural variations of ullage and general condition. Wines

less than 30 years of age have been determined by HDH,

based on our professional judgment, to be in generally excel-

lent condition unless otherwise indicated. As outlined in the

Conditions of Sale, no returns will be accepted.

FORMAT OF CATALOG

Wines are typically grouped by cellar and are preceded by

a general heading, providing specifi c information about the

provenance of the wines. The description of wine is followed

by a lot number and quantity offered. A comprehensive index

is provided at the end of the catalog.

TASTING NOTES

We have been given permission by several of the world’s lead-

ing wine critics to use their tasting notes in our catalogs. Due

to space limitations, the notes in the catalog have been edited.

The entire note, and notes from other critics (where available)

may be viewed by viewing the catalog via our website,

www.hdhwine.com.

AUCTION ESTIMATESAuction estimates are provided for each lot, with all fi gures

based on most recent auction market results for the same or

comparable wines. Rarity and condition are at all times taken

into consideration. Estimates do not include Buyer’s Premium

or sales tax.

BIDDING

In the saleroom, bidding is by registered paddle only. All wine

is offered by lot. Occasionally, we offer the option of parcel

bidding for sequential identical lots. The option to offer parcel

bidding is at the sole discretion of the auctioneer. Bidding

increments are provided on the Absentee Bidding Form in the

back of the catalog. Consignors and their agents are strictly

forbidden from bidding on their own property.

ABSENTEE BIDDING

Those who wish to bid but are unable to attend the auction

are encouraged to submit absentee bids. Absentee bids are

treated in the strictest of confi dence and at all times lots are

acquired at the lowest possible price. In the event duplicate

bids are received, the earliest bid takes precedence. Therefore

absentee bidders are urged to bid as early as possible.

Absentee bids are accepted through our website,

www.hdhwine.com, by telephone, fax, or mail. An Absentee

Bid Form is provided in the back of the catalog. Bids should be

submitted in ample time for proper processing. A valid credit

card must be submitted along with bids. We reserve the right

to require written confi rmation and/or bank references for all

bids, and may, at our discretion, perform credit card pre-autho-

rizations up to the total amount of your bids or request a por-

tion of the total amount of the bids as a deposit. Absentee bids

may be submitted on the day of the auction, however, we cannot

guarantee these bids will be executed, though we will use every

means available. We recommend absentee bids be submitted

prior to 5:00pm CST the day before each auction session.

Bids must be submitted in consecutive numerical order, using

the bidding increments listed on the Absentee Bid Form. If bids

are received with incorrect bidding increments, we reserve the

right to round the bids down to the next appropriate increment.

PHONE BIDDING

Live telephone bidding is available on a very limited basis,

and with advance arrangements only. Bidders who wish to bid

live by telephone must submit a list of lots on which they wish

to bid 48 hours before the auction. We are unable to accept

calls in the saleroom and therefore we must be supplied a

telephone number where the bidder can be reached on the

day of the auction, along with an alternate telephone number.

Bidders are encouraged to leave a written bid as well, which

would be executed only in the event our agents are unable to

make contact by telephone. Although we strive to accommo-

date all requests for this special service, there are a limited

number of telephones and staff members available.


LIVE ONLINE BIDDING

Live online bidding is available at www.hdhlive.com. Bidders

who wish to bid live online should register to do so at least 48

hours before the auction. The registration process will be fol-

lowed as per the above paragraph under “Bidder Registration.”

PLEASE NOTE: We offer bidding services at no charge, with

the understanding that any failure to execute bids or error

in doing so shall not be the responsibility of Hart Davis Hart

Wine Co. or its staff.

PAYMENT

Invoices are mailed or emailed to successful bidders by the

fi rst business day following the auction, except when the

buyer is a licensee, in which case their invoice will be routed

through a properly licensed Illinois wholesaler. Payment is

due upon receipt of the invoice. Remittance must be received

in U.S. dollars, and foreign checks are not allowed. We accept

wire transfers, checks drawn on U.S. banks, money orders,

direct debit via ACH initiation (please contact Kelly Aluise at

312.482.9649 to set up), as well as MasterCard, Visa and Dis-

cover. Payment by credit card is limited to a total of $25,000

per buyer per auction. All successful bids will be processed

through a properly licensed retailer in Illinois. By using a

credit card to make a payment for a purchase, a purchaser ir-

revocably waives any chargeback rights they might otherwise

have under their card holder agreement or otherwise.

Buyers wishing to pay for purchases via wire transfer should

direct funds to:

JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.

Chicago, IL

Routing Number: 071 000 013

Swift Code: CHASUS33

Account#: 111-50-005-90296

If payment has not been received by the 21st day following the

auction, HDH Wine Co. reserves the right to charge the buyer’s

credit card on fi le for any amounts still due as well as any

resulting late fees and other costs incurred, including credit

card processing fees. Payments received after this 21st day will

be subject to a late fee equal to 3% of the total purchase price.

Additional late fees equal to 3% of the total purchase price may

be charged for every 14 days past the initial 21 day period.

NOTE: Buyers from whom full remittance is received by Fri-

day, October 30th (by check or wire transfer only) will receive

a 1% credit to apply toward purchases in the next auction. The

credit does not carry forward beyond the next auction, and it is

not transferable.

BIDDERS WHO ARE LICENSEES

Licensees who intend to bid should provide well in advance of

the auction a photocopy of the license issued by their state’s

liquor authority. Licensees within the state of Illinois should

also provide us with their Illinois Business Tax Number. Pro-

vided this information has been supplied to HDH prior to the

auction, within three business days of the auction the success-

ful bids for licensees will be routed through a properly licensed

Illinois wholesaler, who will charge the buyer applicable taxes

and gallonage fees. Payment by credit card is prohibited for

Licensee invoices.

TAXATION

At all times, taxation is determined by point of delivery. We are

required by law to collect the appropriate state and local taxes

from purchasers who collect their lots in Chicago, unless the

purchase is deemed to be non-taxable. All conclusions as to

taxation are to be determined by Hart Davis Hart Wine Co.

in its sole discretion. All non-taxable transactions must be

completely documented prior to release of purchases in one of

the following ways:

a) Those licensed to sell alcoholic beverages may submit their

sales tax number and proceed with being invoiced through

our designated Illinois wholesaler.

b) Out-of-state deliveries are non-taxable provided they are

made by carrier licensed by the Interstate Commerce

Commission.


COLLECTION, DELIVERY & STORAGE

LIMITS ON IMPORTATION

Bidders/Purchasers are cautioned that many states impose

restrictions on the quantity of alcoholic beverages which may

be purchased and brought into its jurisdiction by a Purchaser

from another state. In some instances, special permits or

licenses may be required for the Purchaser or shipper. Hart

Davis Hart Wine Co. will not assume any obligation or respon-

sibility for applying for or obtaining permits or licenses.

SHIPPING

Our shipping policy is based on the following understanding

with the Bidder/Purchaser:

1) Bidder/Purchaser acknowledges that title to wines pur-

chased passes to the Bidder/Purchaser at time of purchase

or at the hammer. The Bidder/Purchaser authorizes Hart

Davis Hart Wine Co. to choose a common carrier on behalf

of the Bidder/Purchaser which will act as the Bidder/Pur-

chaser’s agent.

2) Bidder/Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to be respon-

sible for all applicable excise, use and sales taxes due their

state or country related to the purchase of these wines.

3) Bidder/Purchaser warrants that he/she is at least 21 years

of age and is purchasing the wines for personal use.

4) Bidder/Purchaser shall be responsible for the shipment

of these wines being received by a person at least 21 years

of age.

Orders can usually be processed and prepared for shipment

within 48 hours of receipt of payment and any applicable taxes or

permits. Orders exceeding 250 necks will require additional pro-

cessing time. Prior to shipment HDH will notify the Purchaser

of a proposed ship date, if a ship date has not been established

by HDH, the order will remain in storage until the next ship date

becomes available. If an expedited ship date or special instruc-

tions are required, the Purchaser must contact HDH to schedule

such arrangements. It is recommended that Purchasers collect

their wines whenever feasible, as commercial shipment can

be risky, especially in the case of older and more fragile wines.

Neither Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. nor its agents can assume

responsibility for any deterioration resulting from shipment,

which includes, but is not limited to: scuffed labels, cracked wax

capsules or minor seepage. Insurance will be automatically pro-

vided at a nominal charge, which will cover solely breakage or

loss from time of purchase or at the hammer to time of delivery.

Wines must be inspected by the Purchaser upon receipt and any

loss or breakage must be noted on the Shipper’s documents.

Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. must be notifi ed of any breakage or

loss claims within 24 hours of delivery. Should this insurance

coverage not be desired, a written waiver of insurance and any

subsequent claims must be received prior to the shipment of the

wines. Without insurance, loss or damage due to any cause will

be at the Purchaser’s risk. In most instances, once a shipment

is sent, you will receive an email from the carrier which provides

the tracking number and details of your shipment.

WEATHER WATCH

Transporting wine in extreme weather conditions and tem-

peratures, even by Overnight service, may seriously damage

wines. We defi ne these as temperature readings or predicted

temperatures of greater than 80 degrees or less than 20

degrees Fahrenheit. HDH performs regular weather checks

prior to shipment. These checks confi rm appropriate tem-

peratures will be held at the point of origin, along the probable

route, and at the fi nal destination.

During periods of extreme weather we strongly advise against

transport of wines by any means. During these times we

are pleased to provide complimentary short-term storage

until better conditions prevail, we refer to this type of hold as

“Weather Watch”. If your shipment is placed on a “Weather

Watch” hold, you will be notifi ed via email before noon (Cen-

tral Time) on the scheduled date of your shipment. At this

time you may elect to sign a “Weather Waiver” which releases

HDH from any liability for weather related damage and your

shipment will be sent on the date scheduled, regardless of the

weather conditions or temperatures. If you do not respond,

HDH will automatically reschedule shipment within the next

one to two weeks. Should your shipment be subject to a

second “Weather Watch” you will again be notifi ed via email

before noon (Central Time). After this time your order will be

placed into our temperature controlled storage until the next

shipping season opens at which time you will be contacted

again or until you re-request shipment.

PACKING

At times we may be required to re-pack wines which are in

their original wooden cases. OWCs, when listed as part of the

lot, will automatically be shipped unless you instruct us other-

wise. A $10 per OWC fee may be applied to shipping charges

which require re-packing into shipping boxes. OWCs may

ship separately via Ground Service. When providing shipping

instructions, buyers should specify that they do not want the

OWCs if that is their preference.

COLLECTION OF PURCHASES

All wines are stored in our temperature and humidity-con-

trolled cellar in downtown Chicago. Once full payment has

been received, wines may be collected from our dock with

48 hours advance notice. We are located at 363 West Erie

(one block west of Orleans) and our hours of operation are

Monday-Friday 8:30am to 7pm. To schedule collection of your

wine please contact our Warehouse Manager, Jim Bradshaw,

at 312.482.9675.

STORAGE

We offer complimentary storage in our temperature and hu-

midity-controlled facilities for 60 days after the date of auction.

fi ed third party acceptable to HDH Wine Co., and that HDH

Wine Co. will only look to the principal for payment.

4) Every attempt has been made to describe all property as

accurately as possible. However, HDH Wine Co. and Seller

do not warrant or represent, and deny responsibility for,

time be construed as warranties or representations of fact

or assumptions of any liability on the part of HDH Wine Co.

or Seller.

5) The Buyer accepts all purchases “as is.” Notwithstanding

any other terms of these Conditions of Sale, should HDH

Wine Co. receive any written claims within 21 calendar days

of the auction that any property is with a shortage, ullaged

or otherwise out of condition, or that any statement in the

catalog is without bias, then HDH Wine Co. will deem such

dispute as between Seller and Buyer. HDH Wine Co. will

charge of up to 3% of the total purchase price, in addition to

any other rights and remedies available by law to HDH Wine

Co., and additional 3% late charges every two weeks follow-

ing day 21. No property will be released to the Buyer until

HDH Wine Co. receives any applicable state and local taxes

or compensating use taxes of another state which HDH

Wine Co. may be required by law to collect. Any applicable

storage or handling charges must also be received prior to

the release of the property. In the event a charge or check

terms as we shall think fi t;

iv) to pay the seller an amount up to the net proceeds

ing buyer;

v) to use against any amounts which we may owe the

us, in respect to different transactions, to apply

respect of any particular transaction, whether or not

the buyer so directs;

on behalf of the buyer or to obtain a deposit from the

buyer before accepting any bids;

viii) to exercise all rights and remedies of a person

holding security over any property in our possession

owned by the buyer to the fullest extent permitted

to the secured party by the law under the Uniform

Commercial Code in the State of Illinois.


If we resell the property under paragraph (iii) above, the

defaulting buyer shall be liable for payment of any defi ciency

between the total amount originally due to us and the price

obtained upon resale as well as for all costs, expenses, dam-

ages, legal fees and commissions and premiums whatever

kind associated with both sales or otherwise arising from the

default. If we pay any amount to the seller under paragraph

(iv) above, the buyer acknowledges that HDH Wine Co. shall

have all of the rights of the seller, however arising, to pursue

the buyer for such amount.

8) HDH Wine Co.’s Shipping Policy is as follows:

discretion. If, during the auction, the Auctioneer consid-

ers that any dispute has arisen between any bidders, such

dispute will be resolved by the auctioneer. The auctioneer

may determine to put up any lot for rebidding at any time

during the auction. In the event of any dispute during or

after the auction, the records of the auctioneer will be

conclusive, and the decision of HDH Wine Co. will be fi nal

and binding on all parties.
