This is one for the record books, hence me recording it.

I just bought this wine, this vintage, this everything for...

wait for it...

....


...wait for it..... $23.99 per bottle. I bought every single bottle they had. Did I feel like correcting their pricing? No. Do I feel the slightest bit guilty? Absolutely not. One woman was holding a bottle from 1999 in her mitts because "the label was pretty" and I almost leg wrassled her to the ground to wrench it away from her. I think I showed extraordinary restraint, all things considered.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Guess what we're popping open if I sell my book? DUDE. I thought I was high tone drinking the 2004 vintage. LIFE IS FINE, MY FRIENDS.

I can't believe it! Amazing! Not just the wine (well done, girl) but I think I'm the first to comment on one of your posts. :)

GOOD LORD. They're currently being squirreled away in my closet so someone doesn't accidentally open it up.

!!! I'm tempted to go to every branch of this shop and buy them all out...

They're normally $600 a piece. I got it for $24. That's insane!

My goodness, that's some price mistake. I can't believe they didn't notice when ringing it up. Serves them right for not knowing their own product.

Enjoy!

I kept double checking with their wine guy, he was saying, I know, I know, that's what they've been priced at.

!!!

It's such a delicious bottle, well, I assume. I've not been able to afford this vintage! I've had the 2004, which was one of the best wines I've ever had.

Ahahahaha, there aren't prizes given out, so you're still good. :D

And I'm so amazed at this deal, or should I say steal? I DON'T EVEN CARE! <3

No, it wasn't a mistake, that's the craziest thing! They had the price ADVERTISED. I asked them multiple times if that was correct, and then just made out like a bandit.

It's the recession. They're doing 'Let them eat cake' for the 21st century. Fools. Off with their heads!¬)

Or Obama is Jesus and you've got Vichy water miracleised. (new word)

I guess! Whatever the answer is, I don't care because I have a fancy wine cellar now! :D

It's ASTOUNDING. I'm walking around holding one bottle, thinking it's going to vaporize, LOL!

If I hadn't bought all the stores right by me out, I would! (I gave the wine girl my number and told her to call me IMMEDIATELY if another shipment comes in. She said they sometimes get a 1999 vintage and sell it for FORTY SEVEN. Oh my god... I'll totally hook you and L up if she comes through.)

Score! I, of course, have never had this, but at that price, I'll certainly check around LOL.

Dude. That's pretty damned impressive.

Their wine guy must just be throwing his hands up.
