Are you sure it was Bin 65? Not another premium label?

The bin 65 chardonnay I find hard to believe anyone would get away with
charging US$25 a glass, even now.

I would walk out of a restaurant if they tried to charge that for that,
just out of principle.

It retails here even now for about $7AU, very roughly $5.50US
equivalent. And I don't believe it ages well enough for it to have been
"vintage" of any standing.
