The Wine Pull

Fifty bottles, bagged and numbered, standing in ranks. Every pull is $40 — or three pulls for $100. Every bottle is a keeper — and hiding among them are showstoppers from private collections worth $150 and up. Here’s a taste of what’s on the table.

Vinous 97 · Robert Parker 95

CellarTracker community 93.7 · 310 reviews

?

And 39 more from private collections

Under the bag until it’s yours.

How it works

  1. Pay $40 — or 3 pulls for $100 — at the pull table, card or cash.
  2. Pick any bag. No peeking, no squeezing — that’s the fun.
  3. Take it home. Every bottle is a keeper; a lucky few are trophies.
