In the NY Times obit for Robert Mondavi, they report that, "He also entered into a joint venture with Baron Philippe de Rothschild’s Château Mouton-Rothschild, creating Opus One, a separate Napa Valley winery that produces one of California’s rarest and most expensive wines, selling for more than $350 a bottle."
Is that really the retail price for Opus these days?! I thought it was more like $200 -- and you could find it at discounters for $25 or $50 less....

That is a terrible price. I've seen recent vintages under $150.

$279 Canadian a bottle (CAD and USD are about par) in Ontario but it sits on the shelves collecting dust.

The most overpriced wine on earth IMO at that price. I'll take $90 Dominus every time.

Laube gave the 2003 87 pts. Iv'e seen it in the twin cities for $135.

...and you picked the 2003 because?

Please do not tease us. You said you were going over to torment your neighbor tonight with that fine bottle of Ridge.

Please proceed post-haste.

Considering that you read it in the NY Times, the accuracy level of the article should rank in the Wikipedian depths.
