a single bottle of Chateau d’Yquem from 1806 valued at over $300,000

I wan to watch the look on the guy's that actually drinks that. No spitting it out!

There are some 1989 Bordeaux and Burgundy that I wouldn't mind still having, but those are long gone now, and an 89 Romanée-Conti will set you back 24 grand. No thanks. 2005s and 2009s are ready to drink. If you didn't buy them back in the 20teens you'll pay bigly now.

Stock up on 2022s as soon as they come out while they're cheap.

That type of dessert wine wouldn’t be worth $3 to me!

I actually liked the 2010’s better than 2009, but the 2005’s were better than either imo. I still have a few of each. What has worked for me is to buy the mid priced stuff in the great vintages and put it back. I have several years of Pontet Canet and have only opened one.

As far as wine goes, my special stuff is Barolo, or Etna Rosso.
