Welcome to the Culverhouse Collection Wine Auction benefiting Church of the Redeemer!
The online-only auction starts on Monday, February 26, at noon, and ends on Thursday, February 29, at 11:45 p.m. Read below for important information before clicking to see the wines and visiting the auction site.
Important Information
In this inaugural online auction with items donated by parishioner Hugh Culverhouse, you can find exceptional wines that have been perfectly cellared and are suitable for any occasion or budget. Whether you are searching for rare, highly collectible wines — such as cabernet blends from famed winemaker David Abreu in California — or want a great wine at a great value to enjoy with friends and family around a Tuesday night dinner table, there is something here for you. Even if wine isn’t your thing, perhaps you know someone who might enjoy a bottle or two as a gift while at the same time supporting Redeemer ministries and outreach.
Because these wines were donated to Redeemer — and the proceeds benefit the parish’s ministries and outreach — the minimum bid price published is well below current retail and auction prices. There are no auction house or extra fees added, and many lots are a single bottle, giving you increased flexibility in purchasing only what interests you. Once the auction begins, consider using the “Buy Now” button, which bypasses the bidding process and guarantees you get the lot at a fixed price.
Don’t miss this opportunity to own some great wines at great prices that benefit the work of this great parish! Ready. Set. Bid!
