That happened years ago and will probably never happen again. I was working at a really good wine store at the time and a customer had bought a case for his daughters wedding. They opened them all so when he tried to bring back a couple we "had" to drink it. The white goes for over $500 a bottle now. But it was the finest bottle of dry white I have ever tasted.

I also got to taste a Ch. Yquem around the same time. We all pitched in some money and opened a half bottle. This was early 80's and it was expensive even then. Unluckily it was far to young and the alcohol hadn't incorporated yet.

Like you, I keep a few half bottles of good Sauternes in my collection.
