File this under "things that make you go, 'Hmm'". In last week's "Friday Buffet" installment we told you of a fine wine auction held by the auction house Hart Davis Hart. The auction turned out to be pretty lucrative for both the sellers and Hart Davis Hart.
The two-day auction sold all 1646 lots offered, for a total of $4.6 million in sales. Among the notable highlights of the auction (read the list here) was an imperial bottle of 1982 Chateau Petrus, which sold for just under $54,000. Or, a sizable down payment on a new home. Makes you wonder what kind of burrito you could pair with this wine.

Dear Chuck Sudo,
What makes a wine so desireable as to fetch 54k? Is it really that good, or is it more of a collector's thing.
Thanks,
Matty
Take it to jimmy's red hots and drink it "sideways" style
That, my friends, is the very definition of having "fuck you money".
