EXTRAORDINARY 2005 BURGUNDY ON AUCTION AT WINEBID.COM

Napa California: According to Jancis Robinson the 2005 Burgundies are extraordinary. Robinson says that "the great thing about 2005 is how very good many of the humbler wines are, even those labeled simply Bourgogne which are better and more uniform than I can ever remember." Allen Meadows, Burgundy reviewer and publisher of Burghound.com, agrees: "Let's go directly to the chase...2005 is quite simply the best top to bottom vintage that I have ever seen, period, full stop."

In our current auction here at WineBid.com we are pleased to offer remarkable, limited-production wines from the 2005 Burgundy vintage. We are offering Grand Cru and other fine wines from Domaine A.F. Gros, which is part of one of Burgundy’s wine-producing dynasties. Domaine A.F. Gros is owned by Anne-Francois Gros, a member of the family’s current generation of highly esteemed producers. These limited production wines are rarely distributed in the U.S. and are offered on a pre-arrival basis.

"The WineBid.com tasting team tasted many 2005 red and white Burgundy cuvees in Beaune in March 2006," said Jerome Zech, WineBid.com CEO, "and we tasted them again in Beaune in November. We all agreed it was a fantastic vintage and now the critics have also called 2005 a remarkable vintage. Domaine A.F. Gros makes superb wine and we are happy to be able to offer A.F. Gros’ 2005 wines to our customers."

Established in 1996, WineBid.com is the largest online auction for fine and rare wines with more than 42,000 registered bidders. At WineBid.com each bottle of wine is appraised, inspected and stored in our climate controlled warehouse in Napa, California.
