Yeah but he cringes when it's a 100$ bottle.
Most of us do. As prices keep rising, new releases of certain wines just aren't on the buy list any longer.

Hey us retired folks have to watch our spending on booze. I'll pay that for a wine I think is worth it and since the Leeuwin AS is one of my favourite chardonnays on the planet... Furthermore they haven't raised the price of this wine drastically over the past 10 years unlike many.
All that to say, bite me.

I guess you really liked the 09 Faustino? I had the 08 a little while ago and was impressed so I should probably get some of the 2009.
The 2008 was ok but the 2009 is much better imho. Picked up and split a case with Peter at the depot. 24$ a bottle. Had I known I would have gotten some for you. I was shocked that it comes in a wooden case.
