Wine Auction Buys - Wine Bottles Bought Jan 2009

On the Wine Spectator forum many of us post what wine bottles we are buying, whether in a store, through a mailing list or perhaps through auction (live or Internet). I have gotten a few requests to do the same here. It can help others learn some new names or perhaps see where the pricing is on some auction wines or other secondary market bottles.

I generally only buy higher end quality wine via auction or mailing list. I find most stores in any one geographical area generally buy from the same distributor sources, so you tend to see the same names.

Anyway, with the economy the way it is, I am finding stunning buys (for my tastes) on the Internet. Some over 75% off retail. Pretty crazy. Anyway, here are some wine bottle buys from January. I included the price for all as well.
