This was an interesting program. The tip on ullage of a mature wine is very helpful. Regarding insurance, my experience was that any carrier that would insure my wine wanted my house as a condition of covering the wine, including Chubb. State Farm, who covers my house, offers what is called a personal articles policy, which covers my wine. It is a separate policy with its own policy number and annual premium of about $5.50/$1,000 of coverage. They write similar policies on other collectibles…artwork, guns, etc. The wine cabinets and cooling systems are covered under my regular homeowner policy with the standard deductible. It’s only the wine itself that is covered under the personal articles policy. I think there are companies in some states that offer standalone policies on wine cellars, but apparently not in my part of the country. What is clear is that regular homeowner policies generally do not cover your wine. Thanks again, GrapeRadio, for great programs that are interesting and useful to all us winegeeks.

I’ve attended numerous events at Martin’s during the last decade and had the pleasure of tasting some amazing wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italy, Spain that I had no chance of purchasing or even finding. Although the events run to several hundred dollars they are a fraction of the cost of a single great bottle and much lower risk. With 16 to 18 wines, there are one or two disappointments but at least a few that are worth the price of admission. The ’89 LaTache, ’22 Lafites and ’01 Massto come to mind. Martin is a true gentleman and a very gracious host. I met some pretty terrific people through the years, including one that worked for the same company. We discivered each other and have become good friends. Very enjoyable interview!
