Spectrum Wine Generates $1.4 Million in Sales During its Stack's Bowers Galleries' Griffin Studios Summer Auction
SANTA ANA, Calif. and COSTA MESA, Calif., July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spectrum Wine, a leading wine and spirits auctioneer and retailer that has sold over $180 million of wine since its 2009 founding, and Stack's Bowers Galleries, American's oldest and most accomplished numismatic auctioneer—both subsidiaries of A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRK)—partnered to host a live auction on July 12, 2025.
Held at Stack's Bowers Galleries' Griffin Studios in Costa Mesa, California, the event showcased the extraordinary collection of Malik M. Hasan, M.D., and generated $1.4 million in sales from in-person and online bidders. Additional lots from Dr. Hasan's collection remain available through Spectrum Wine's ongoing weekly auctions.
Dr. Hasan's discerning taste was evident throughout the collection, with a particular focus on Bordeaux in case quantities. His "Case Room" alone housed over 300 original wooden cases (OWCs) of Bordeaux. First Growths were exceptionally well-represented, with over 900 bottles spanning 20 vintages. Additional highlights included two cases of 1998 Petrus, 1987 Le Pin, multiple cases of 1976 German Riesling in its original cardboard case, as well as a wonderful selection of Burgundies from perennial favorites such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Coche-Dury, Henri Jayer, Ramonet, and a large selection of Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny.
"The exceptional results from the sale of Dr. Hasan's collection reflect both the continued strength of the global fine wine market and the power of Spectrum Wine's engaged, knowledgeable community of eager bidders," said Jason Boland, President of Spectrum Wine. "From start to finish, the energy in the room and online was palpable. We are incredibly proud to have brought this distinguished collection to auction, grateful for the trust Dr. Hasan placed in us, and thankful to our enthusiastic bidders around the world who continue to drive strong prices for truly special, well-sourced wines."
Brian Kendrella, President of Stack's Bowers Galleries, added, "I am pleased that our purpose-built auction event space, Griffin Studios, served as the platform for this successful event. We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate for events that suit our clients' spirited interest."
