It was a pleasure and honor to write this article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about the late Irv Kotovsky and the auction at Christie’s of Irv’s spectacular wine cellars in both Pittsburgh and Paris. Thanks to Irv’s spouse, Cher Lynn Kotovsky for sharing your terrific memories about enjoying marvelous wines and food with Irv in Pittsburgh, New York, Los Angeles and Paris. Here’s to Irv. Cheers! Thanks also to Chris Munro, Christie’s Head of Wine and Spirits Department, for his insights.
Part one of the Christie’s auction, “The Two Continents Collection – The Private Cellar of Irwin Kotovsky Online” begins on April 6 and goes through April 18th. Part Two runs online from June 8th through June 22nd. Cheers!
