Wines over $300 may not be worth it to a lot of people, but it is to some. You can actually make decent money with wine as an investment. Those $1k+ bottle were far less than that when they were released. 2000 Mouton-Rothschild has appreciated something like 600% since it’s release. Much like any other luxury item, it’s brand, quality, difficulty to acquire and scarcity that drive the prices. |

As in any investment, it takes a lot of learning, luck, and timing to be successful and it is just not for me when it comes to wine. I would rather buy and enjoy them. Cheers to 2020. |

Happy New Year Rick! My dad was a collector so my mother brought it. She has cases of this and other '90 Bordeaux's at home. They won't last forever so might as well enjoy them!

This is a good thread. Some of my faves already mentioned. If i could add a few recommendations that i don’t think were mentioned yet.
Jordan cabernets - one of my go-to’s besides Caymus because they’re very available Cakebread - i don’t like their more recent vintages as much but their older (pre-2010) stuff was amazing Check out the Pinot Noirs from Williamette Valley, Oregon. They have some great stuff Malbecs - Terrazas Reservas and Salentein are my favorites On Opus One - i agree that you’re mainly paying for the Rothschild/Mondavi name than anything. But it’s still good stuff. But for that price per bottle I’d be going for something like a Joseph Phelps Insignia |

I also enjoy an occasional Insignia (and have one bottle of 2013 Opus stashed away). Around / approaching that price range we also like Vineyard 29 Aida Estate, although prices have started to get a little out of hand.

Sadly I can’t bring myself to open any of the 2013’s I have from various wineries even though it’s a great vintage. It was my son’s birth year so will be holding on to these until he’s old enough to enjoy something his age.

And yes, hold on to the ‘13 until you son can enjoy it. My dad bought a case of ‘63 Dow’s Port for me as it’s my birth year and that was a poor vintage for wine.

My brother likes Quintessa Cabernet. I bought him a 2009 for Christmas. I haven’t tried it in years but I don’t remember being impressed. |

Unfortunately at the time i thought their story was better than their wines. Hopefully this means that they’ve improved greatly. I do remember that the merlot was probably their best work, though. |
