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.

“To Kalon has been the source of some of California’s most famous wines for a century. It is one of the greatest homes of Cabernet Sauvignon in the New World. The vineyard lies on east-facing benches of the Mayacamas Mountains...A To Kalon Cabernet typically has a firm, classic structure, with dry, well-oaked currant flavors and a long finish. In exceptional years, they are long lived.” – “California’s Best Single Vineyards,” Steve Heimhoff, Wine Enthusiast
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.
