This 50-bottle collection of world-class wines was carefully curated by Brad Belt and the staff of Pearson’s Wine and Spirits. The collection encompasses the icons, hard-tofind cult wines, and new discoveries covering virtually every major varietal and wine region around the globe.

Every selection is rated 90 points or higher. Highlights include:

The pleasure of enjoying the finest California Cabernets, French Bordeaux, white and red Burgundy, Italian Super Tuscans, Spanish Granacha, Argentinian Malbec, and more is priceless.

Just in case you want to add to this stunning collection, the winning bidder will receive a significant case discount — 30% off regular priced wines and an additional 5% off of sale priced wines — at Pearson’s. As an added treat, RdV Vineyards is contributing two bottles of Friends and Family wine that is not available to the public, along with a tasting and tour of their spectacular vineyard property near Delaplane, Virginia. RdV has set the standard for making world-class Bordeaux blend wines in Virginia, raved about by British wine critic Jancis Robinson.
