Dear Geoff,

    I agree with you and with Tom - I also got no catalogue. And Bonhams and Christie's are very good (and consequently
I buy from them).
Best,
Shabbat Shalom,
Joey

Results look very poor, many Lots not sold.
Any comments as to why?

(One comment from me - I wasn't even aware the auction was taking place!)
 

Geoff,

I think you have answered your own question! I too was unaware of this auction. It slipped under my radar. I did not receive any notification, let alone a catalogue. Considering that I have bought bottles from Sotheby's HK on several occasions in recent years, this is marketing incompetence on their behalf.

By contrast I receive numerous catalogues each year from Bonham's and Christie's, even for auctions where there are only two bottles out of 450 lots!
