California-based Spectrum Wine Auctions will hold its first event in Hong Kong – with more than 200 lots from the collection of Aubrey McClendon – at Crown Wine Cellars at 9 AM on November 22. This is the latest event that affirms Hong Kong as a top-three auction site along with New York and London.

The items up for grabs, as listed in a press release from Spectrum, include 1945 Latour, 1959 Lafite Rothschild, and six-liter bottles of 1982 Cheval Blanc and 1989 Haut Brion, as well as Chateau Mouton Rothschild in every format from 750ml to imperial (six-liter) bottles. It also notes some unexpected items: “One interesting lot in particular is Lot #665–a single 750ml bottle of 1966 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon; the vineyard’s very first vintage… The estimate? A mere $50 to own a piece of history.”

Each lot includes a single estimated selling price rather than a range of prices. The catalog is available here. For more information on the auction, call 888-982-1982.
