Marcus Hiles - A True Connoisseur

When Marcus Hiles is not developing properties to further his multi-billion-dollar enterprise, Western Rim Properties, you can find him immersed in another passion, wine. Mr. Hiles has developed an interest and taste for exotic wines of every vintage and variety. That is why when constructing his home outside of Colleyville, Texas, Mr. Hiles had a customer wine cellar built into the home, one that features an underground stream. Not only is the stream an intriguing novelty, it serves a functional purpose, keeping the ideal temperature for aging his wine collection, one that is estimated to be worth over 15 million dollars.

Mr. Hiles has accumulated quite an impressive wine collection over the years. He has collected a number of rare selections of various worth. In 2010 Mr. Hiles even sold a portion of his collection to an interested party in Hong Kong. Mr. Hiles sold 6,500 bottles of his wine for a total of almost 8 million dollars. Always community oriented, a vast majority of the money received for the sale went to helping to fund afterschool programs for public and private schools in the inner-city.

Mr. Hiles often acquires rare bottles of wine by buying it before it is available to the general public. Then Mr. Hiles preserves the wine in his specially calibrated wine cellar. His investment grows over time, and his rarest bottle of wine can be worth as much as a hundred thousand dollars.

Marcus Hiles is a wine collector and connoisseur that treats wine as a passion and an investment.
