US: Transport company sued over $2M wine shipment

(ChicagoTribune) - Wine valued at $2 million from the private collection of D. Gideon and Nancy Searle was allegedly damaged while being transported from Illinois to Florida, triggering a lawsuit filed by the couple's insurer against the moving company.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday by Great Northern Insurance Co. -- the insurer for the Searle family's $8 million wine collection -- against Cellar Advisors.
In June 2012, D. Gideon Searle hired St. Louis-based Cellar to transport the couple's wine collection, held in a Des Plaines warehouse, in refrigerated carriers to a Naples, Fla., wine cellar. The wine to be transported was valued at $2 million.
