I want to sell a wine collection. Is it legal to sell as part of an estate? I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and I want to sell my late husbands wine collection and don't know what is legal to do. |

You could start by asking these wine auction houses: http://www.brentwoodwine.com/sell_wine.html http://www.morrellwineauctions.com/auction/conditions.asp http://www.cellarexchange.com/ Since the State has a monopoly on selling wine, you will need to be clear on what the law says about selling wine by any method, but don't ask the officials; it is probable that your late husband bought the wine out of state, which could raise questions. A restaurant might be interested in the collection. I expect that selling a wine collection is similar to selling a library of books. If you let someone pick and choose, you will be left still with what they don't want. I have heard with libraries that one should insist that a buyer takes everything. Of course, you need to have an idea of what the wines are worth. Brentwood mentions an appraisal service and also recommends that one gets a better price by selling rather than auctioning (which has costs for the seller and can also leave you with unsold lots). You probably know that there is going to be a big wine fair at the end of the month: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/valleyindependent/artsmag/s_125932.html http://www.pittsburghwinefestival.com/schedule.php Perhaps some of the individuals named as private dinner hosts or cooks would be interested. This is a free comment, not an "answer" - and may be only worth what free advice is commonly said to be worth. |
