AUCTIONS
Real Estate Investor Is Cleaning Out His 'Cellar'
With the pope headed to town and celebrations abound, there couldn't be a better time to bid on extremely expensive vintage Champagne. They're from the collection of real-estate investor Robert Rosania—who's no stranger to spirited auctions—and the bubblies featured include Krug, Roederer, Cristal, Salon, Bollinger, Dom Perignon, Pol Roger, and Pommery. Some date as far back as the 1800's. The auction takes place Friday, April 25th at the Cru restaurant on 5th Ave in NYC. Mr. Rosania's collection includes 1,346 bottles, 303 magnums and 11 jeros of bubbly. Big-ticket bottles like Krug's 1938 vintage and Dom Perignon from 1928 are expected to sell for between $7,000 and $12,000 a pop.
