Most Expensive Bottle of Wine You've Ever Purchased?

Miles, Seven Deadly Zins is one of my favorites, too. Stock up on the 2004 while they have it. The 2005 has been a bit of a disappointment.

BTW, the PA LCB gets $20 for it. :-(

I would have to say what the most is I have ever paid for wine. It would be embarassing. I do have a case of 1990 Chateau Margoux in my cellar as well as some 1989 and a few others.

The 1989 was not a bad price but by my standards 1990 was high.

My usual sweet-spot falls in the $15-$20 range. However, in recent memory I have bought the following: In wine shops: $65 for a Masi Amarone last year. $50 for a 2003 Two Hands 'Lilies Garden' Shiraz a few months ago, and $70 for a Jackson-Triggs Cabernet Franc Ice Wine in lake Niagara.

Same here. Jumped from $17 CAD to $31

I have a bottle of Pol Roger Cuvee Winston Churchill 1993, cost $132 US, purchased for a special occasion that didn't occur, I expect to have it later this year for one of two special occasions, one of which is my birthday, so *that* will happen, even if the other doesn't (maybe next year - that will require something else)! :)

Having said that, I've picked up various $40-50 bottles for birthdays, New Year's etc, mostly Champagnes. d.

Where are you? Graham

The most expensive bottle of wine i have purchased was a bottle of Kenwood Jack London 2001 Cab. Sauv. for $80.00

About 10 years ago...... A$1500 (US$1200) for a 1954 Grange Hermitage. (If you could find one now it would cost $45,000!) It was a superb wine, but I'd had better, a 1972 vintage of the same label for only A$200 (US$160) for instance.

I have arranged, for my 60th birthday, later this year, a magnum of 1947 Ch. Cheval-Blanc for a mere $US22,000 (and worth every penny)

No sense being the richest man in the cemetery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you know it's worth every penny, did you open before time? Oh, my Lord! Dee

Wow, you could have bought almost 4-750 ml bottles for that price!

Happy 60-old man. I just turned 50.

I read in the Wikipedia about the town where you live. As a result of your information about China teas, and some little research I did about them, on a whim, I threw out all my Chinese teas, even the Pu'er. Today I bought a box of organic Darjeeling tea from the Tumsong Estate

I'll be turning over a new leaf. Dee

For my 40th birthday coming up, I plan on opening my Franciscan Magnificat--at $35 still my most expensive bottle of wine.

Happy Birthday and enjoy.
