In addition to conducting at least 24 fine wine auctions per year, TCWC also regularly buys a significant amount of fine wine for its own account and offers these wines on an outright purchase basis. Because TCWC has been buying wine in Europe for more than 30 years, it has developed a wide network of suppliers which enables it to buy wines that most other wine companies simply cannot get. This enables TCWC to offer one of the very finest and most comprehensive selections of both young and well-cellared mature wines in the U.S. The demand for Fine and Rare wine such as Chateau Petrus, Chateau Le Pin, Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Cheval Blanc, Domaine de la Romanee Conti (D.R.C.), Montrachet and many others continues very strongly
