NOTES

DELIVERY AND COLLECTIONS 

Picking Up Your Order 

As many of the wines featured in the auction are rare and 

delicate, customers might prefer to pick up these wines 

directly from the temperature-controlled conditions at 

the LCBO. With this in mind, on Saturday, November 29 

between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. the warehouse facility at 33 

Freeland St., Toronto, will be open exclusively to service 

auction customers. This day will be by appointment only 

and customers should call John Miller at 416-364-1864 

ext. 270 or email at john.miller@ritchies.com at least 48 

hours in advance to book an appointment. Customers 

should note that photo ID and a copy of the customer 

invoice must be shown before the product will be 

released. Any third party assigned by the buyer to pick up 

their shipment must be accompanied by a copy of the 

original invoice and a letter authorizing the release of 

goods to that third party. 

Following that date, lots may still be picked up 

by appointment only at 33 Freeland St. within normal 

business hours 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday 

(excluding holidays). Goods must be picked up from the 

LCBO in a period not exceeding four months following 

the date of auction. 

Domestic Home Delivery 

Home delivery of wine purchased at auction is available 

within Ontario. For assistance in arranging your home 

delivery, contact Kevin Howes at 416-450-6455. 

A delivery charge will apply and payment must be 

arranged prior to release of the goods. Payment for 

the delivery can be made over the phone via Visa 

or MasterCard. 

Bidders should note that the LCBO and Ritchies 

recommend that purchasers arrange to collect their 

purchases. Shipping by any commercial means, 

particularly of older wines, can be risky and result 

in damage. Neither the LCBO nor Ritchies can assume 

responsibility for any damage that occurs to wine 

while in transit.

Delivery to the United States 

Customers in the United States are advised that they 

are responsible for arranging international shipping. 

Bidders in the United States may contact Wine Cellars 

Ltd., 314 Chappaqua Road, Briarcliff Manor, NY, 

10510, tel: 914-762-6540, fax: 914-762-6515, or email 

bleggiero@winecellarsltd.com to facilitate shipment of 

their wine into the United States. The LCBO will arrange 

for shipment of wine from Toronto to Wine Markets 

International. Customers may then pick up their 

wine from Wine Markets International in Woodbury, NY, 

or may arrange delivery through Wine Markets 

International. Customers will be responsible for any 

duties, taxes, shipping, or other charges levied in their 

arrangement with Wine Markets International. 

Bidders in the United States are reminded that various 

states impose limitations on the amount and quantity of 

alcoholic beverages that can be legally brought into their 

jurisdiction. Neither the LCBO nor Ritchies shall assume 

any responsibility for obtaining or applying for any 

permits or licences that might be required for the 

shipment of goods into various states. Therefore, all 

bidders are advised to investigate the possibility of such a 

limitation and to check with their local authorities to 

determine the manner in which alcohol can be imported 

into their individual state. 

Customer Service 

We would be pleased to help you with any questions you 

have about the pickup of your auction purchase. Just call 

LCBO Specialty Services at 416-864-6739 or toll-free at 

1-800-668-5144. We are open Monday through Friday 

from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. After hours, you may leave a 

message and we will contact you the next business day. 

Note: Neither the LCBO nor Ritchies is responsible for the acts or omissions of 

any shipper, including packing , shipping , insurance, or delivery, for any lots 

purchased at auction. Customers must deal directly with the shipper in the event 

of any loss, damage, or theft.

catalogued as follows: 

BN. BASE NECK: Perfectly good for any age of wine. 

Outstandingly good for a wine of 10 years in bottle, 

or longer. 

VTS. VERY TOP SHOULDER 

TS. TOP SHOULDER : Normal for any Bordeaux 15 years old 

or older. 

HS. HIGH SHOULDER : Slight natural reduction through the 

easing of the cork and evaporation through cork 

and capsule. Usually no problem. Acceptable for 

any wine over 20 years old. Exceptional for pre- 

1950 wines. 

MS. MID SHOULDER: Probably some weakening of the cork 

and some risk. Not abnormal for wines 30-40 years 

of age. Estimates usually take this into account. 

LS. LOW SHOULDER: Risky and usually only accepted for 

sale if wine or label exceptionally rare or 

interesting. Always offered with low estimate. 

BS. BOTTOM SHOULDER: Not acceptable for sale unless a rare 

sort of bottle. Wine will usually be undrinkable. 

U. ULLAGE: Level. 

Example: (u. 2ts) means 2 bottles ullaged to top shoulder.

Burgundy Levels 

For wines in bottles with sloping necks, including Burgundy, 

German and other wines, the level between the cork and 

wine is measured and catalogued in centimetres. 

The condition and drinkability of Burgundy is less affected 

by ullage than its equivalent from Bordeaux. A 5-7 cm ullage 

in a 50-year-old Burgundy can be considered normal, indeed 

good for age; 3.5-4 cm excellent for age; 7 cm rarely a risk. 

Example: (u. 3x5cm) means 3 bottles ullaged 5 cm. 

Bottle Sizes 

HF. BT. HALF BOTTLE = 0.375 litres 

BT(S). BOTTLE(S) = 0.75 litres 

LTR . LITRE 

BURGUNDY 

MAG. MAGNUM = 1.5 litres, or two regular bottles 

D. MAG. DOUBLE MAGNUM (BORDEAUX , PORT) = 3 litres 

JERO. JEROBOAM (BURGUNDY, CHAMPAGNE) = 3 litres 

JERO. JEROBOAM (BORDEAUX) = 5 litres * 

IMP. IMPÉRIALE (BORDEAUX) = 6 litres 

METH. METHUSELAH (BURGUNDY, CHAMPAGNE) = 6 litres 

SALM. SALMANAZAR = 9 litres 

* Up to 1978, jeroboams were generally bottled in 4.5-ltr. bottles.

Special notice: Though every effort is made to describe or measure the levels of older vintages, corks over 20 years old begin to lose their elasticity and levels can change between 

cataloguing and sale. Old corks have also been known to fail during or after shipment. We therefore repeat that there is always a risk of cork failure with old wines and due 

allowance must be made for this. Under no circumstances can an adjustment of price or credit be made after delivery except under the terms of the warranty stated in Paragraph 

11 of the Conditions of Sale.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 

1. The word “auctioneer” wherever used in these 

1 4 6 

conditions of sale, means Ritchies Inc. 

2. While the auctioneer has endeavoured to catalogue 

and describe correctly each lot to be sold, guarantee is 

not made of the correctness of the catalogue or other 

descriptions of the physical condition, fitness for use, 

rarity, quality, potability, size, importance, 

authenticity, attribution, provenance, and/or 

historical relevance of any lot and no statement 

anywhere shall be deemed such a warranty, 

representation or condition, and no sale will be set 

aside on account of any imperfections not noted. Each 

lot is sold “as is”, “where is” and without recourse. 

3. Without limiting paragraph 2, the buyer 

acknowledges that lots consigned by consignors may 

not have been subjected to quality testing. 

4. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to 

advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. Bids 

presented by persons less than 19 years of age will be 

rejected. The highest bidder accepted by the 

auctioneer shall be the buyer. If any dispute should 

arise between bidders, or in the event of doubt on the 

part of the auctioneer as to the validity of any bid, the 

auctioneer may, at his discretion, determine the 

successful bidder, or may reoffer the lot. 

5. The buyer will comply with all laws, statutes, 

ordinances and regulations regarding bidding, 

purchase and transport of lots. The amount and/or 

type of alcoholic beverages purchased and taken into 

another province, state or country may be limited or 

entirely prohibited. The buyer is responsible for 

compliance with all applicable tax laws, duties and 

exportation and importation requirements. Neither 

Ritchies nor LCBO have responsibility or obligation to 

the buyer to apply for or obtain any special licences or 

permits required for the lawful transport, exportation 

or importation of lots notwithstanding that Ritchies 

and/or LCBO may arrange for the transport of 

property on behalf of the buyer. Each buyer 

represents and warrants that he or she will insure that 

any purchased lots shipped to such purchaser will be 

received by a person at least 19 years of age. 

6. Subject to the fulfillment of all of the conditions set 

forth herein, on the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, 

title to the offered lot will pass to the highest bidder 

acknowledged by the auctioneer and such bidder 

thereupon (i) must present satisfactory legal 

documentation that he/she is at least 19 years of age, 

(ii) assumes full risk and responsibility therefor, (iii) 

will immediately pay the full purchase price or such 

part as Ritchies may require. The sales price shall be 

exclusive of any storage, insurance or delivery charge. 

7. If the auctioneer decides that any opening bid is too 

low, he may reject the same. The auctioneer reserves 

the right to withdraw any lot from the sale or to 

divide any lot, or to combine any two or more lots at 

his sole discretion. 

8. Title to the offered lot will pass immediately to the 

bidder on the sale of the lot and such bidder assumes 

full risk and responsibility therefor, and will 

thereupon pay the full purchase price therefor, or 

such part as may be required. If the required payment 

is not complied with, the lot or lots purchased by this 

bidder may, at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion, be 

put up again and resold. 

9. Each and every lot is sold by the vendor with all faults 

and defects and with all errors of description and is to 

be taken and paid for whether genuine and authentic 

or not and no compensation shall be paid for same. 

10. Disputes pertaining to market value, ullage, 

suitability, spoilage, deterioration, shortages, 

commentary by auctioneer, expert opinion or oral 

descriptions are seen as an independent dispute 

between the buyer and seller. 

11. Notwithstanding the previous conditions of sale, if 

within 14 days after the sale of the lot the purchaser

gives notice in writing to Ritchies Inc. that the lot sold 

is a deliberate forgery and within seven days after such 

notification the buyer returns the same to Ritchies Inc. 

in the same condition as at the time of sale, Ritchies 

Inc. shall have the right to have the buyer obtain, at 

the buyer’s expense, the written opinion of two 

recognized experts in the field, mutually acceptable to 

Ritchies and the purchaser, before Ritchies determines 

whether to rescind the sale. 

12. PAYMENT shall be made by CASH, CERTIFIED 

CHEQUE, VISA, MASTERCARD or INTERAC the 

day of purchase. Absentee and phone bidders can pay 

the next business day. All property shall be removed 

by the buyer at his expense not later than four months 

following the sale. If it is not so removed and paid for, 

and if the account is not settled in full, a handling 

charge of the greater of 5% of the purchase price or 

2% of the purchase price per month (24% per year) 

until settled and removed, will be payable by the 

buyer. Ritchies reserves the right to ship goods not 

removed by the buyer as set out above to a third party 

warehouse at the buyer’s entire risk and expense. 

13. Neither Ritchies nor LCBO is responsible for the acts 

or omissions in the packing or shipping of purchased 

lots or of other carriers or packers of purchased lots, 

whether or not recommended by them. Packing and 

handling of purchased lots is at the entire risk of the 

buyer. If a buyer requests that any lot purchased in 

this sale be shipped to him or her, or if purchased lots 

are shipped to a third party warehouse pursuant to 

paragraph 12 above, such purchaser authorizes 

Ritchies and/or LCBO, as the case may be, to arrange 

for such shipment on his or her behalf and to select a 

common carrier if necessary to ship such lots. 

14. The auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of 

any consignor. 

15. Each lot sold is subject to a purchaser’s premium of 15% 

of the purchase price, payable by all successful buyers, 

charged on the first $250,000 of each lot purchased and 

12% on the excess and shall form a lien and first 

security interest on any such purchased works. 

16. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay 

Ontario retail sales tax on the total purchase price. 

(Buyers not resident in Ontario are exempt if the 

purchase is shipped out of Ontario by common carrier.) 

GST will be charged where applicable. Each buyer 

agrees to be responsible for all applicable sales, excise 

and use taxes related to the purchase of lots that are not 

collected at the time of payment for such purchase. 

17. These Conditions of Sale as well as the Buyer’s, 

Ritchies and LCBO’s respective rights and obligations 

hereunder, shall be governed by and construed and 

enforced in accordance with the laws of the province 

of Ontario. By bidding at auction, whether present 

in person or by agent, order bid, telephone, or other 

means, the purchaser shall be deemed to have 

consented to the exclusive jurisdiction of the provincial 

courts of, and the federal courts sitting in, the province 

of Ontario. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ritchie’s 

and LCBO reserve the right to bring an action in any 

court of competent jurisdiction to the extent permitted 

by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. 

18. In no event will Ritchies or LCBO’s liability to a 

buyer exceed the purchase price actually paid. 

Estimates 

After each lot we have printed pre-sale estimates, 

which are approximations, educated guesses, based 

where known on comparable auction values; they are 

not “prices.” Bidding begins at about half the 

estimate, but the final price may very well be less or 

more than any estimate shown.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 

PURCHASERS AT THIS AUCTION 

Estimates 

An estimated selling price with a low and a high exclusive 

of buyer’s premium is printed following each lot description. 

Estimates are guidelines only, based on, where possible, what 

similar wines have sold for in the past. Due to market fluctuations 

all estimates are subject to revision and should not 

be relied upon as a representation or prediction of selling 

price. Please contact Ritchies wine department for questions 

concerning individual lots. 

Bidding 

Bidding is per individual lot. In order to bid in person at this 

auction you must register for a paddle. Unless you have 

previously bid at Ritchies please be prepared to show 

identification and provide requested information to a Ritchies 

representative. 

Bidding will commence with the first lot and follow 

consecutively the order of the catalogue as indicated by the 

auctioneer and at increments determined by the auctioneer. 

Typically, bids are raised in increments of 10%. There are three 

ways to bid. You may bid in person by attending the auction, 

submit an absentee bid form by mail or fax, or in some cases 

bid by telephone. If you are unable to attend the sale, please see 

the Absentee Bid Form in this catalogue and the Advice to 

Absentee Bidders. 

Reserves 

Unless otherwise indicated all lots in this auction are offered 

subject to a reserve or minimum bid. A reserve is the 

confidential minimum agreed to by Ritchies and the consignor. 

The reserve is typically set at a percentage of the low end 

estimate and in no case will exceed the low estimate. The 

auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing 

consecutive bids on behalf of the consignor, but only up to the 

reserve. In no case will the auctioneer place consecutive bids 

above the reserve. 

1 4 8 

Hammer Price 

For lots that are sold, the last price announced by the 

auctioneer is the hammer price. A buyer’s premium of 15% as 

indicated in the Conditions of Sale will be added to the 

successful bid price. Please see the Conditions of Sale printed in 

this catalogue on the page prior. 

Payment 

If you are the successful bidder on a lot, payment is to be made 

immediately following the sale in accordance with clause 12 of 

the Conditions of Sale. On receipt of payment you will receive 

an invoice and release order. All delivery and pickup inquiries 

should be made to the LCBO. Please see information and 

instructions for pickup in this catalogue. 

Sales Tax 

Ontario sales tax on alcohol of 12% and the GST are payable on 

the hammer price and the buyer’s premium. Licensees with a 

valid re-sale permit registered with Ritchies prior to payment 

and pickup will be exempt from Ontario sales tax. 

International buyers shipping out of the country by common 

carrier (please see instructions on delivery in this catalogue) 

will be exempt from these taxes. 

Arrangement of Lots 

and Cataloguing 

Wines of individual owners are grouped together usually 

preceded by a heading. Wines are catalogued as accurately as 

possible at press time. Purchasers must take into account the 

natural variations of cases, corks, and ullages. A chart is 

provided for your guidance. Except as stipulated in clause 11 of 

the Conditions of Sale Ritchies and the LCBO are unable to 

accept returns.
