what's the most you spent on a bottle?

[MontereyRick]

Wow, I was expecting to hear people say they spend a lot more. I guess I've become a little bit addicted to some of these high priced (mailing list) wines.

I've spent over $80/bottle on no less than 10 different types of wine in the last 6 months alone.... some of these cases for long term cellaring, some individual bottles, etc. Some include...

2002 Latour and Mouton Rothschild futures
2001 Neal Family Cab Vineyard Designates (Howell Mtn)
2000 Bressler Vineyards
2000 Lynch Bages
2001 Foley Claret
2001 Pride Reserve Cab and Claret
2001 Ch Montelena Futures (were $70/bottle)
2001 Quilceda Creek (just ordered 6 @ $68)
In April I'll order 99 Rafanelli Terrace Select (3 @ $90)

I also have my standard quaffers/house wines that are in the $15-$25 range, but often times wine that will stand up over time and improve with age costs more. There is nothing uglier than an empty wine cellar.
