I used to love this company. I believe they were the first in America to hold auctions for wine. I bought a ton of VP magnums from them during 1990-1994. When I look at prices in the list above, while slow increases in price, I paid considerably less for my mags then they are charging for 750s today. That just means I am getting old. :shock:

Looking at their site - what does "SLC" mean?

Nick,

Welcome to the forum. From their website:
SLC : Slight label conditions [Minor cosmetic issues such as scuffs, smudges, minor tears, slightly bin-soiled, etc.]

VHS : Very high-shoulder fill

HS : High-shoulder fill

I buy from them at auction and their bottles are usually in pretty good shape. Their pricing can be all over the map however, so compare closely.
