Most of the time we read about the a man selling off their huge wine collection but this time it's a woman who is selling off her carefully amassed wines. V. Cheryl Womack, who made her fortune in the insurance world, spent around 15 years creating a collection of almost 10,000 bottles. Like many collectors, she's in need of space and so off to
Sotheby's she went. On March 15, Sotheby's
will be holding a single collector sale of 4,775 bottles from her collection, freeing up nearly half of Womack's cellar space for new acquisitions. The sale is expected to bring in around $3 million.
