Isn’t this bottle supposed to be like more than that at retail? Anyone know where this is screwed up?

It’s basically a bit better than retail price. Great deal at a restaurant if it’s in your price range. Young, though.

Are you at a place where you can buy it for that price? Hell of a misprint

Should I just shut up and order it when I get to restaurant or should I ask them if that’s the real price?

These are often bottles with extremely exclusive allocations for which there is no true commercial retail price. The winery sells them for, say, $100 but the vast majority of people who own it are not willing to sell. What appears as retail is actually a grossly infated resell. People could sell the bottles for a reasonable price but most of them won’t because those bottles were hard to earn.
This restaurant probably gets an allocation due to long-term loyalty to a distributor, and want to pass the benefit to guests who appreciate the bottle.

Its a possible price. Barolo from Burlotto often work the same way Rayas do. Very few people have direct access to bottles and they sell it at a high price

Burlotto Monvigliero was the bottle that made me fall in love with Barolo.

I mean if you want some undrinkably young barolo go for it. Seems like a wine they got for a decent price and don’t want to sit on. Honestly I wouldn’t buy that to drink for $50 it will not be a pleasurable wine at this age.

I’ve seen Burlotto Monvigliero in multiple restaurants in Finland listed somewhere between 200-300€. This happens when restaurants base their pricing on their own cost instead of wine-searcher/auctions. Just a few years ago you were able to find great pricing for burgundies as well, but now it feels that even the most consumer-friendly restaurants have erased the best deals..

The acid is going to rip your face off for the next 15 years but then will inch toward pure bliss for the next half century if we’ll stored.
