Don't shoot the messenger ... re: pricing

A few ridiculous prices, but a lot of them are just a little high for a bargain shopper like myself.

[Brian C.]

Too bad we can't sell items short. These look like the best candidates:

1996 Quinta do Noval Late Bottled Vintage Port 750 ml - 1 avail at $155

1967 Taylor Fladgate Vintage Port Quinta de Vargellas 750 ml - 1 avail at $368

Otherwise, most stuff on there is like Eric suggests, just a bit high for the bargain shopper, but not ridiculous.

These two appear to be more priced to sell:

1920 Krohn Port 750 ml - 1 avail at $425 - SOS

1924 Krohn Port 750 ml - 1 avail at $425 - No Label

I'm not up for spending that kind of money on a bottle right now, mind you, but that price certainly would cause me to look into it further if I was.

[Roy Hersh]

Anyone willing to pay $155 for Noval 1996 LBV? If so, let me know and I'll be happy to sell you 1994 Noval LBV purchased on release, (a great year for Noval and their LBV is fantastic from that vintage) for $150 per bottle. Just kidding of course because that is way over what these are worth.

That retailer does not cater to the bargain hunter. They are also offering one bottle of 1921 Chateau d'Yquem for $11,431.89, likely not including shipping.

And likely "made" by Rudy K.

Cherry picking through that list, there's a few solid priced ports, but heck... They are a retailer and have to stand by their wines more than an auction house does.
