This one-of-a-kind, once-in-a-lifetime lot contains a special collection of wines generously donated by NCEF Trustees, including library wines, special vintages, Large Formats and unique bottles.

It’s hard to overemphasize how spectacular these wines are: You could literally collect wine for a lifetime and not amass a cellar like this. This may be the best collection of rare wines ever offered at a charity wine auction in the U.S.

Some of the California selections include major cult wines in multiple Formats ranging from 750ml to Nine Liters. There are verticals of Opus One from 2014 to 2019; two verticals of Colgin Cellars IX Estate from 2010, 2011 and 2012 and a vertical of Harlan Estate in vintages ranging from 1990 to 1997.

Some of the top wines from France are included in this lot. The winning bidder will receive Six Liter bottles of First Growths Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Haut-Brion, as well as Double Magnums, Magnums and 750ml bottles of top wines in vintages from 1983 to 2017.

You’ll be graced with some of the top producers of Italian Barolo and Barbaresco, in Large Formats, with a collection that includes Giacomo Conterno. Others include wines from Giuseppe Rinaldi and Giuseppe Mascarello. Angelo Gaja’s Sori Tilden is one of his three famous single-vineyard Barbarescos, rarely available in Magnums.

The trio of Port is highlighted by the legendary 1927 Taylor, one of the rarest, most expensive and most sought-after vintage Ports in history.

This Spanish collection includes three top producers that embody the cream of modern, cutting-edge Spanish winemaking. Enjoy Large Formats of Alvaro Palacios Priorat L’Ermita and verticals of Dominio de Pingus and Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva.

The assortment of Australian wines is truly stunning with the rare and highly sought after Penfolds Grange Bin 95 in various vintages from 1995 to 2012. Complementing the wines from this country include an impressive assortment of Shiraz including Chris Ringland and Clarendon Hills along with Shirvington Cabernet Sauvignon and a vertical of Torbreck RunRig.

In addition, the winning bidder will receive two very different but totally unique treasures.

The first is Barbie’s one-of-a-kind “Naples Dreamhouse” custom designed by Method & Concept with 2024 Festival Chair, Shelly Stayer, and hand-crafted by Thomas Riley Artisans’ Guild. This “Barbie-sized” scale model dollhouse stands approximately 5 ft. tall x 5 ft. wide x 2.5 ft. deep and is meticulously detailed for Barbie and friends, complete with home theater, gym, spa, rooftop cabana and even a heli-pad. Your kids or grandkids will love it but you’ll wish you could live there too!

The winning bidder will also receive a remarkable 219.67-carat certified aquamarine. This aquamarine will be beautifully transformed into a custom piece of jewelry planned with Jason and Todd at the Diamond District.

While this trove of treasures may be priceless, the person with the highest bid will have the satisfaction of knowing he or she has made a significant contribution to the welfare of our children.
