If you have ever been to Manhattan's Le Circque you know that the wine collection, some of which is housed in a 27-foot steel-and-glass tower, is very impressive. Now it seems that the tower and the other displays in the restaurant aren't offering enough room. The owners plan to sell some of the fine wines. Christie's will hold a sale at the restaurant that will include cases of Bordeaux and other wines at the restaurant on Nov 17. Reuters reports that some cases could bring in as much as $20,000 which could provide a nice little nest egg at a time when people seem to be dining out less. A $395 per person dinner with matched wines will be offered during the auction.
