Stepdads surprise 50th. Mom charges me with getting the vino.

Co-workers sister is married into one of the larger/local vintners family so co-worker had a ton of stuff in her basement.

Go by the house grab 5 red and 3 white cases for $20 per case.

Day of the party the red is going like crazy, was really good.

Stepdad takes a case and hides it to save it.

Few weeks later I'm out in wine country and we stop by the vineyard.

Talking to the guy we complement him on the particular bottle.

His eyes light up, he tells us they won an award for it and it was their best vintage ever then asks me if we have any left. I tell him one case and a few loose bottles.

Offers me $100 a bottle
