Wickman’s Wine Auction Closure

Very disappointed to see this local SA auction house shutting its doors. I was never a secondary market buyer until I got involved with Wickman’s as I valued their provenance assessment. Only one dishonest vendor put up a cooked wine claiming perfect provenance over 1000’s of purchases.
More importantly, I hope Mark can return to good health.

Wow, I hadn't heard this news. Very sad to hear.
Agree, Jamie, I valued his provenance checks too.
I have bought some magnificent wines through him. Also sold a lot too, a brilliant service.

Not a surprise to me. I have bought a few gems, but the volume of wines for sale per month seems to be rather low and the selection seems to have become a bit less interesting. A real shame as I like the detail that Mark put into the descriptions.

Although for obvious geographical reasons I never used their services, it's clear they did so much very well, and that was recognised in this forum and another I used to post on.
Hoping Mark can regain his health.

I received an email as a buyer at the latest auction.

It is going in to a hiatus due to Mark''s ill health, not so much due to business pressures.
