I meant that I wasn’t invited to try to purchase any in the first-come/first-served line. Didn’t get the email with the link, and when I logged into the wine store I couldn’t see any GV. Don’t think I would have bought any at $285 anyway.
185, 285, 385… This wine is basically a form of currency now. Either you drink it and enjoy it (which I will), or use it for trading for other stuff… or use it as “ritzy offline admission fee”…
RMP pretty much guaranteed that 285 is the rock bottom price for the 08 (and probably 07 as well now).
Hundred Acre? Bond’s SVD’s must be close to that number, too, no?
I was really bummed to see the $285 price point. I simply cannot afford that, and I was seriously considering it in the $200 range, which would have made it one of the priciest wines I’ve ever purchased.
