I thought Liber Pater was the most expensive. That is apart from the only bottle of Chateau Golodetz, which because of its rarity can be yours for a mere $4.5. Million. If you feel like drinking it, it’s very similar to two buck chuck, except it has a different label, cork and I will add a capsule for an additional 10%.

If you throw in a wooden case…

I was hoping it would taste like 2016 Pitray.

For you, John, I will throw in two wooden cases. One stamped “Property of Alcatraz” the other is the only remaining box of Romanee Conti 1945 signed by Rudy himself.

That makes the $4.5 million look like a steal. I may find myself bidding against Andrew K.

Please note, shipping is extra.

I should also mention that it is possible that Rudy faked his own signature.

I have a mental barrier for anything above 199.99 per bottle, for some reason. While I have purchased wines above that price, it is typically done after much internal debate and hesitation. Although it does happen.

With that said, my most expensive purchases have been:

2023 Lafite EP - ~$450
2023 Mouton EP - ~$400
2012 Heitz Martha Mag - ~$400-450
2016 Chave Hemitage - ~$350

There is always the hesitation and many times regret for overpaying or the perception of overpaying.

I popped for Lafite Rothschild for my daughter’s birth year at $770. Hope she enjoys it one day when it is drinkable.

Birth year 1985 Krug $700. Will see if it was worth it in approximately 2 weeks.

Had 1985 Krug a few years ago. The answer is emphatically yes.
