Imcluding premium and tax, that’s roughly $476 a bottle. Hell of a way to spend your dollars on a Sunday night. [winner.gif]

Just got some 86 under $200/btl. Feel smarter now.

Just bought 1990 for just around $200, makes me feel real good. A case of auction fever gone awry.

5

just finished my last bottle of the 89 LLC and was underwhelmed…wish the buyer better luck.

I thought of this when I saw the topic name and wondered if Victor drank some. Interesting pricing.

7

dang! got an '88 for 155 about 6 months ago that I’m planning on opening on the Bday… maybe i’ll rethink that…

Clearly a mistake. Someone is confused and embarrassed this morning. Same wine has sold multiple times this year in the $150-$160 range.

Btw it’s a beautiful wine. I served it at Thanksgiving a few years back.

9

maybe they thought they were getting a magnum?

10

Neither the first nor last time alcohol will negatively influence a WineBid experience.

Just in from Flickinger… $541.66 ea for 1990 (are all coming direct from the cellars of the château)
Paying for provenance taken to the extreme…
