Super Expensive Bucket List Wines Recently, I’ve been counting down my bucket list wines of various categories in a series of emails. Even though I’ve tried to be clear as day that my lists are written in attempt to keep within the means of most people, even if that means chipping in with nine buddies just to buy a bottle, readers continue to lambast me for missing their “greatest” wines.

This is so easy, it’s almost a joke. Honestly, I prefer my other lists in which I try to ferret out the best wines that you might have a chance of trying. To satisfy all you masochists out there, here we go: the bucket list of wines in the world that you can’t afford!

This is a list that makes you drooling :)
From this list I have tasted two wines in the past: the 1989 Unico Riserva and the 2001 Le Pin. I have also tasted DRC Romanée Conti before, but the 2003 vintage. Personally I would like to add to this list the following wines (all ready to drink but may improve over time): Masseto 2001,Pingus 1999, Screaming Eagle 1997 & 2007, and Colgin IX Propr.Red Estate 2002. Making a short-list is never easy and I am sure I am leaving out some wines that would easily make it on the list, but this is what comes to mind so far. If you got the money, ENJOY !!!

I find that one of lifes ironies as you reach your 50's is that you finally can afford to buy great wines, though at great prices, only to be told they will be at their peak between 2022 and 2034, by which time you might be six feet under!

Certainly wouldn't be MY "bucket list" wines, but this is why we all have our own individual palates . . . besides, I've had all those, though perhaps not in these specific vintages.
