Hello all,
I have appreciated posts from others about wine prices and catalogs from decades ago, so I have decided to share some highlights from a price guide from Benchmark, June 24, 2008.
I found some printed out sheets in my basement. Note it was about 16 pages long, just sharing highlights here.
Enjoy!
