Crazy buy

Post by Nicklasss »

Last week, buy a 1986 Yquem from a particular. 375 $, what seems a good price in Canada. Wine is the most expensive-impulsive-crazy hobby.

But I try to convince myself it is ok, and that bottle will be perfect to celebrate our second baby in June. And Sauternes are MC's favorite wines...

Lowest price in the U.S. is around $350 U.S. dollars 1986 Yquem, Nicklass. A Bordeaux lover must drink mature Yquem once in a while. Expensive but necessary.

Hi Nic,

Sorry about the post that was swallowed up...

I know the feeling. You want a very expenive wine. But ask yourself "Is that *reasonable*?.
You were RIGHT to throw reason to the winds.

Jusqu'à preuve du contraire, on ne vit qu'une fois...
You'll NEVER regret the splurge.
