Back in the late 80's I bought several cases of 1983 Lake Sonoma Gewurztraminer ( with abundant crystals) for $1.99 per bottle. They were delicious!
In 1990 I bought a case of 1986 Gruaud Larose from N. Berkley for $18/bottle and still have 1/2 a case which is just becoming enjoyable now.
In the late 90's I bought most of a case of 1993-95 Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay for $15/bottle (special private cellar seller). They were very memorable.
Just last Sept. I bought 5 bottles of 2002 Vine Cliff Napa Cabernet for $3.33/bottle in Indianapolis.
Back in the late 80's I bought a mixed case of early 80's German Rieslings (both QbA and QmP) from Ashville N.C. while on vacation for about $5-6/bottle that were well stored and fabulous. Some new producers (Becker?) to me also.
What are your stories?
