iDealwineRolling

Five of the eight publish a machine-readable calendar. Two block automated requests and are entered by hand. iDealwine runs continuous closings rather than a season, so it gets a treatment of its own.

What this is not

A tip sheet. There are no predictions here, no bid ceilings, no per-lot arithmetic, and no opinion on whether you should raise your paddle.

It is a register, and the reason it exists is narrow: every house publishes its own calendar and nobody puts them side by side.

In the letter

What is open and what is coming goes out weekly. The full register, and the results once the hammer has fallen, live here.
