Methuselah, they say, lived more than 900 years – probably because he knew the key to longevity was good wine and lots of it.

Channeling that oh-so-Methuselahian, oh-so-Sun Valley tradition is this incomparable extension of the 2022 Wine Auction, a Sunday afternoon on the deck of Grumpy’s imbibing large format wines and soaking up the late July sun. Everything about this lot is big and bold, from the 6L Methuselah cellar gems courtesy Chappellet Winery and Trefethen Family Vineyard to the juicy quarter pounders slung by the sassiest (and classiest) burger joint in town. If wine is sunlight held together by water, this lot is the perfect coda to a week of Bacchanalia spent in august company. Approval matrix says: highbrow brilliant!
