Wine lovers will raise their glasses and bidding paddles at the Canadian Opera Company’s 8th Annual Fine Wine Auction on Thursday, April 19, 2007 at Crush Wine Bar.

The COC’s Annual Fine Wine Auction offers a chance to purchase many very fine wines for your cellar, whether you are a seasoned collector or just starting to appreciate the fruit of the vine. Items include a 1961 Château Latour, a 2001 Ornellaia Tenuta, a number of desirable years of Château Mouton Rothschild and La Mouline, celebrated 1991 Napa Cabs from Dominus and Silver Oak in magnum, a vertical of Domaine de la Romanée Conti Richebourg, and an incredible array of spectacular wines from around the world.
