Philanthropist Patrick Park dug deep in his legendary wine collection, and some of his world-class bottles went up for auction Thursday at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

The bottles of rare Chateau Lafite, Mouton-Rothschild and Chateau Margaux brought in thousands, although organizers were still counting the loot late Thursday. And it was all for charity: National Enquirer heiress Lois Pope’s Disabled Veterans LIFE Memorial Foundation. Pope is raising money to build a memorial to wounded warriors in Washington, D.C.
