I hope he has good luck with the auction. I have always been impressed with him in interviews as a thoughtful person. I often don’t agree with him, but he’s been worth listening to and is always respectful of his interviewers. The interviewers are not always respectful of him (I remember a really terrible NPR interview that reflected poorly on NPR).

I would counter that maybe he’s not the simple foil of evil, ie boogeyman, that NPR et al are claiming. And I was an NPR funder until recently. When you actually listen to what he says, it’s a reasonable point of view. I don’t always agree with him, but I understand his views. He is very much also NOT a Trumper.

“it was a time when ‘the price of a nice Petrus, Mouton, Lafite or Latour wasn’t beyond the means of a recent graduate with a relatively modest income”

“…there is more down here than I could ever drink, even if I threw a party every night.” – we’re here to help Bill!

I guess I’m trying to understand why someone who is worth literally $2 billion dollars would even bother collecting wine, investing all of that time, care and mental energy, only to then sell his entire cellar for less than 1% of his net worth. What a complete waste of time and space.

Wonder how John Kapon is feeling seeing this sale go to Christie’s.

I’m pretty sure I could organize parties to get these all enjoyed in his lifetime.

Piece of shit doesn’t even drink wine. He and his ilk cause the stupid, unattainable wine prices. They whore all the wine, skyrocket prices. Ruins it for people who actually drink the shit. Fuck him. He is the worst.

Surprised to see this much class warfare mentality in a wine sub of all places.

Bill Koch barely drinks. He spent long time snapping up GC burgundy and absolutely will have influenced many other wealthy people to do the same. He is a prize douchebag and single-handedly made fine wine less accessible for true enthusiasts. And I’ll say it again: he barely drinks, for medical reasons. Like what is the point….
