Don’t Let A Great Wine Story End In The Dark
It often begins with a moment of discovery.
Sometimes it’s a phone call that pauses life—an inheritance, a cellar key pressed into your hand. Other times, it’s a quiet decision made by a collector, finally ready to part with bottles that took decades to acquire.
You open the cabinet or cellar door. Rows of deep Bordeaux reds. A bottle of 1982 Château Lafite Rothschild. Napa cult wines with handwritten labels. An unopened Louis XIII glistening beneath cobwebs or carefully displayed under lights.
Whether you’re an executor sorting through a legacy or a collector curating the next chapter of your passion, what sits before you is more than just alcohol—it’s history in a bottle.
Why Proper Evaluation Matters?
The true value of a wine goes beyond its name—provenance, storage conditions, and bottle integrity all play a defining role. The difference between $200 and $2,000 could be a temperature-controlled environment or a scratched label.
At PGS Gold & Coin, we’ve spent nearly two decades helping families across Chicagoland navigate this exact moment—when wine becomes more than just alcohol; it becomes emotion in glass. Our mission has always been simple: provide honest, fair market value for collections of all kinds, whether coins, gold, or now—fine wine and vintage liquor.
We’re not just buyers—we’re curators of history.
