2010 Baudry Chinon le Domaine (and then more of the same);
2007 Arger-Martucci Cabernet Sauvignon;
1999 Charles Ellner Brut Millessime;
2010 Breton Avis Vin de Fort Clairet;
2013 Hatzidakis Santorini;
Lustau Emperatriz Eugenia Oloroso Seco

Edit: I realized that all of these tasted great back when I got them, I just didn't realize how hard it would be to backfill later!!

La Rioja Alta Reserva Ardanza 2007... I mean I wish I'd bought 200 bottles to last 5 years. So damn good for the money.

And Leoville Barton 2000... i had 3 bottles, only 1 left. Wish I'd bought a couple of dozen. An incredible wine.

I would have bought $200,000 in 1989 & 1990 1st growth Bordeaux and sold it all years later. I bought wine to drink and not sell. Who knew? I made money in so many other ways so water under the bridge.

I forgot this one:

Giovanni Almondo Nebbiolo 2004 for $15. Got a case in '10 it was so puckering I thought it was wasted money. By '12 I was trying to find it anywhere.
