"We're thrilled to bring commercial wine auctions back to the District. Zachys has a substantial client base in the D.C. metro market, and we're always looking for new ways to interact with current clients, as well as prospective clients," remarks President Jeff Zacharia.

The 1842-lot collection comes from an anonymous D.C. collector who is also a longtime Zachys client. Friday, October 27 features "Wines of the World," highlighting first and second growth Bordeaux, red and white Burgundy, and lots from Champagne, California, Italy and more.  Saturday, October 28 is dedicated entirely to red Burgundy featuring producers like Domaine Armand Rousseau, Domaine Georges Roumier and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.

"As you will see from the collection, The Capital Collector enjoys a variety of wines, ranging from the top châteaux of Bordeaux, Champagnes and leading producers from Piedmont and Brunello. All wines were purchased widely and mainly on release, and many are offered in deep verticals," states Zacharia.
