If aged Bordeaux from Chateau Lafite-Rothschild is your standard wine purchase, then The Chicago Wine Company is more your style. They hold one live auction and one silent auction every month and you can place bids online. They also hold formal dinners/tastings. You just missed the November dinner, but at $595 per person did you really? They're also willing to help you sell off your wine collection, but Boone's Farm collectors need not apply.
