NAPA VALLEY WINEMAKER’S CELLAR ON AUCTION AT WINEBID.COM®

Napa, California - WineBid.com, the premier Internet auction of fine and rare wines, is proud to auction a collection of historic California wines direct from a Napa Valley winemaker’s cellar. These wines were all acquired directly from the producers and stored under pristine conditions in St. Helena.

"This is a great opportunity for people to purchase historic vintages of older California Cabernets that have stayed in Napa Valley since they were bottled," said Jerome Zech, Chief Executive Officer of WineBid.com. "These are the classic California Cabernets that first attracted the attention of international collectors back in the 1960s and 1970s. They were the first truly fine wines coming out of California," Zech said. "These are a taste of the best of California wine making."

Here are some of the highlights:

• 1974 Heitz Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Michael Broadbent 5 stars
