This selection of 23 bottles of 1960 Baron Philippe de Rothschild wine from Luggala made €4,600 at Fonsie Mealy.
The indications are clear — and not just because all the wine lots from Luggala found buyers at Fonsie Mealy’s sale. The buying public is undaunted by online-only auctions and Irish auctioneers are becoming more and more familiar with the process.
Newly completed online auctions at Fonsie Mealy, Sheppards, Lynes & Lynes and Hegarty’s in Bandon all went very well with most lots sold and new buyers registering from near and far.
