Paid $169 and $100 respectively for these last summer.

Some real eye-popping prices there.

They all aren't ridiculous, just most of them

I thought so to, but a worthy reference point.

yes, many very expensive K&L is proud of their stock for sure, but Glenn you have to admit $169 for a 63 Grahams is robbery, not like all of us have the resources you apparently do to find that kind of screaming deal!

K&L has some good deals from time to time, but their prices on older bottles are almost always through the roof.

Well I don't really have any special resources... it was just on one of the various emails that I get now and then from some of the larger internet wine shops. That one came from either Acker or TCWC... off the top of my head I don't remember which. The deals were good, so I bought all of their Grahams from 1963 back to 1948.

$169 (might have been $179) was the cheaper price on the 1963s. A couple that were in better condition were $229 as I recall, but once received I could barely tell the difference so yeah the cheaper ones were definitely robbery.

Yes. $179 is quite inexpensive for that wine. Current auction is $245.
