They key is to research on the app first.

My Christmas present each year is a wine advent calender. My wife gets me a bottle for all 25 days.

I mean, I personally wouldn't spend that much on wine, but depending on the type of wine, that's not a crazy amount of money

I'm guessing Opus One 2017

That’s a $350 bottle. Hell Del Dotto The Beast is $425. I’m guessing Ole baw got 10-12 bottles of high class porch pounding wine. No shame in that

I must be really poor. I get a couple $12 dollar Rose/SB bottles and a blackbox from Total Wine.

We could drink for 6 months on $550!

$500 goes fast with wine.

The worst is when you visit Napa, get a little boozed up tasting and every few months after your Amex gets blown up for $800 and another half dozen bottles of wine shows up on your porch.

Naw. For over double the price, I don’t find the tasting value......

Have you had an old properly stored wine? Something that's meant to age? It's eye opening when you do and see the potential of a wine.

I cringe when I see someone post a picture of a recent Brunello or Barolo they drank. All they did was deny that wine its potential. If you want to drink a fresh wine then buy something that's made to be consumed upon release.
