$145,000.00 seems like it might be approaching some sort of domestic record as it works out to $12K for a standard bottle of wine.
WOW. Doesn’t seem like good QPR when you factor that 4 750s of any of those vintages could be had for under $12k.
Ironically, you COULD buy a house for less. The house next door to my sister in-law in Des Moines is up for $135K. Not bad.
$145,000 would buy you a garage to put your car in, here in the Boston area.
Maybe a driveway, too.
In Pittsburgh, you could probably build a brand spanking new colonial for maybe 30k more.
Or with that kind of money (or a little less), you could add on to your house and build a wine cellar and an upstairs bedroom.
Just sayin’
145K would buy you maybe a bedroom . . . or half of one . . . out of a 4 bedroom house in Irvine, CA.
Do they accept returns if one (or more!) of the bottles is corked? If not, I am passing, dammit, because I insist on spending wisely!
Make it $200,000 even and I will throw in a room addition with a wine cellar to hold your new treasures!!
Even in Irvine!
Didn’t a Cisco exec pay $500,000 for a 6L bottle a few years back?

For 145k you can fill a wine cellar with glorious wines that you and your family will drink for the rest of your life. Just to put things in perspective…
