Item # 1013 |
Wine – Old treasures from the Louis M. Martini family wine collection. 1968 Mountain Barbera Private Reserve. The Barbera is from the Monte Rosso Ranch. The Martini family blends it with petit sirah to give a drinkable yet well aging wine. The Barberas age the best of all wines. 1968 was an extremely good year for red wines, so this should be good now or have the ability to age a few more years. (Donated by Patricia Martini) $150 Value |

Item # 1014 |
Wine – Old treasures from the Louis M. Martini family wine collection. 1969 Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. 1969 was a little bit of a lighter year than 1968, more delicate. This wine is very drinkable now. Further aging is not recommended. Special Selection means it has the top grapes, in this case cabernet, from the harvest. These grapes usually came from either Monte Rosso in Sonoma or cabernet from the valley floor in Napa Valley. (Donated by Patricia Martini) $150 Value |
