Krug goes for $150+. Of course it's not four times better than VC.
But it is a damn fine bottle of wine.

Years ago I was given a bottle of Dom Perignon. Young wine snob that I was, I just knew that it was over-hyped and over-priced.

So a buddy and I bought, if I remember right, a bottle of Taittinger NV (our recommendation at the time). Tried it first. Good stuff.

Then we opened the DP. Had to eat our words.

Sometimes it's a good idea to compare to really appreciate.

Buying 1982 Bordeaux's was brilliant.
