DELAWARE — October 20, 2025 — Acker’s October US auction, held on Friday, October 17, achieved $4.6 Million in sales, led by significant Featured Collections including The Time Capsule, Treasures from Tribeca Grill and The Collection of Brian Sheth.

The Top Ten Lots of the sale were led by twelve bottles of 2000 Château Pétrus in OWC, which realized $68,750.

Two bottles of 1991 Romanée-Conti and six bottles of 2002 La Tâche in OWC followed at $43,750 and $35,000, respectively. Six bottles of 1990 Château Pétrus in OWC secured the sixth spot at $32,500, while two magnums of 1990 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape reached $27,500, setting a New World Record. DRC returned in eighth place with a bottle of 2015 Romanée-Conti garnering $25,000, followed by six bottles of 2013 Domaine Leroy Gevrey-Chambertin Les Combottes in OWC at $22,500. Rounding out the list were five magnums of 2017 Dujac Chambertin in OWC and four bottles of 2001 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La Tâche, both realizing $20,000.
