    Is this still out there on the shelves anywhere in the region or slightly beyond perhaps?

    Some markets didn't even get it. I know central IL didn't, but Chicago did. I haven't seen it anywhere I've looked.

    I know of 2, maybe 3 places in suburban Detroit that have it. No idea on prices.

    I saw iton the shelf at the Binny's on Clybourne in Chicago two weeks ago and I think the beer guy said he had a couple left. It was $199.00 ea.

    Omg it is not worth that much! Arguably worth $199 which is what most stores where selling it for. Basically it tastes like a LJ average port wine and there r great ports for $30 out there IMHO. Warehouse liquors should be burned down for that price!!

    While not in the region, does Lafayette qualify for "slightly beyond"? Last I checked, VBS on Vine had a bottle left. I dont remember what the price was, my fiancee knows what it sells for, I would be shot the second she found the bottle.

    I had Utopias, it's great, but yeah, a $40 port basically blows it out of the water. It's a novelty, and the bottle is pretty, but unless I was running out of ideas for how to spend a lottery windfall, I doubt I'll ever find myself in possession of a bottle.

    I'd love to pick one up to share for $200.
    Anyone got a handle on one?
    One in town here is $300, and I feel that is over the top. Hell, I know its not in the same realm as VB DL!
