Wine Auction with Zofia at Sotheby's

Sotheby's Thursday 5th of September at 6pm

SOLD OUT

Zofia first joined Sotheby’s temporarily in 2017 as an Intern in the Prints Department in London, having studied History of Art in her home country. She then moved to Edinburgh to complete her master’s degree in Modern and Contemporary Art History, while developing her passion and knowledge for wine by working part-time in wine retail. She also had a chance to join The University of Edinburgh’s blind tasting team, which allowed her to successfully take part in national and international tasting competitions, such as Left Bank Bordeaux Cup and Pol Roger Tasting Cup. The idea of working in a global auction house was always on her mind, and at the beginning of 2021 she had an opportunity to merge the two areas of expertise, auctions and wine. A year later she successfully completed the WSET Diploma in Wines and in 2023 she was promoted to Wine Specialist, joining the department’s European network of experts.

Zofia will host us in Sotheby's for welcome-back drinks generously offered by Sotheby's, hence the attractive flat price. We will taste a few wines of her choice and Zofia will explain the hidden mechanism of a wine auction. There will be some nibbles to enjoy and plenty of opportunities to network.  If you ahave always wondered about how auctions work and whether fine wine holds its value, this is the event to come to!

Please come along and do not hesitate to bring a friend!
