Tips on placing a successful bid:
- Research current retail and auction price data at www.wineprices.com to determine a fair and realistic bid price.
- Consider that the seller is charged a 15% to 20% commission, as well as shipping (if the wine is not in Vinfolio storage).
- Note the location from which you’d like your wine to be sourced. Wine in Vinfolio storage can usually be fulfilled more quickly upon bid acceptance.
- Make sure the quantity you are bidding on is actually available in the Marketplace.
- Remember, sellers are not obligated to sell their wine, but placing a fair and realistic bid will improve your chances of success.

Strings of ratings this high are rarities, making the accomplishments of two of Washington’s premiere producers that much more impressive. Over the past decade, Quilceda Creek has been honored with three perfect 100-point scores and 13 scores of 95+. Leonetti has garnered 9 95+ reviews in the same amount of time. Not only have these wines racked up stratospheric Parker scores, but they’ve done it in extremely short timeframes with just a small stable of stellar bottlings. All are collectible, all are in demand, and all are available for bidding in the Vinfolio Marketplace right now.
Please note that the suggested bid price is based on what Vinfolio would charge for this wine if we were selling it in our online wine store. This is merely a recommended price on which to base your bid; it does not guarantee that your bid will be accepted. You are not required to submit this as your bid price, though we do recommend you read the "Tips on placing a successful bid" located on the right side of this email.
