when Marilyn Monroe was
at Hampton Beach in
1958.
Why
collect wines as an
investment? Every once
in a while a
"following"
develops for an item
that is in limited
supply. Whether it be
coins, stamps, hot
wheels or old posters,
the value increases as
the
"following"
increases. Each vintage
has a known, limited
quantity of wines
produced adding to its
value. The
"older"
it gets, the more
valuable it gets and
unlike traditional
collectibles, most good
wines
"improve with age".
Marilyn Merlot is now in
that category.

On June 1, 2006, Marilyn Wines celebrated two decades of winemaking history with the release o the 20th vintage of Marilyn Merlot wine. Beginning in 1985 as a playful idea, bringing together the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe and some of Napa Valley's finest Merlot wine, Marilyn Merlot has itself become a legend and is perhaps the most sought-after of all "collectible" wines.
Each new vintage is
released on Marilyn
Monroe’s birthday, June
1st, and sells out
quickly. Collectors have
made Marilyn Merlot one
of the
fastest-appreciating
wines on the market, as
twelve-bottle sets of
the 1985 through 1996
vintages continue to
grow in value and are
now selling for $7,000. |

velvety plum flavors.' -
