Local read
Mr. William H. Edgerton, ASA is an unclaimed FAIR profile in Naples, FL. FAIR lists William H. Edgerton, Wine Appraiser as the business name, with Personal Property, Wines - Fine and Rare, PP - Wines - Fine and Rare, ASA, an Estate service category, and an estate/probate routing signal; FAIR does not show a website URL, source evidence URL, public fee statement, public USPAP education detail, or claim/control status. The ASA member-details page identifies William H. Edgerton, ASA in Naples with the same wine-appraiser business label, shows PP - Wines - Fine and Rare under Personal Property, and flags appraisals over internet, expert witness experience, IRS appraisal experience, and personal relationship dissolution assignments. Edgerton Wine Appraisals' About page says William Edgerton has appraised wine since 1989, created the Wine Price File, maintained wineauctionprices.com with about 600,000 wine-auction entries, and created the Spirits Price File in 2018. The same page says Annie Edgerton took over the family business as CEO in 2023, formed Edgerton Wine Appraisals LLC, and lists contact and service regions including NYC metro, FL, CA, TX, and Europe+. Its qualifications and authentication pages add wine-and-spirits education, standards-course, insurance-client, and authenticity-review context. Confirm whether the current engagement is with William, Annie, or an associate, and confirm report purpose, cellar inspection method, bottle authentication scope, fee terms, and whether estate/probate, IRS, insurance, dissolution, or expert witness needs are supported.
The profile-specific fit is fine and rare wine rather than general household personal property. Source signals point to wine price research, wine-auction data, spirits auction data, estate/probate routing, remote appraisal handling, IRS appraisal experience, expert witness context, and personal relationship dissolution.
Before outreach, inventory producer, vintage, bottle size, fill level, label and capsule condition, provenance, storage history, purchase records, cellar location, photos, and intended report use. Ask who will inspect or review the cellar, whether spirits are in scope, and how authentication, market data, fees, and deadlines are handled.
