Do you mean on a restaurant wine list? I think most of the 1sts are in
the $400-500 range at retail (the Latour is often a bit more than
others, but I don't know that's the case for 2000 - I know Margaux
probably is at premium). Figure twice or more on a restaurant list.
Though who the hell would order immature almost certainly shut-down
1sts at a restaurant.

You know that answer as well as I do: any number of naïve consumers with
deep pockets or expense accounts and the desire/need to impress a
boss/customer/date. It's especially tragic when they order it to
accompany carefully prepared and delicately flavored food, but de
gustibus and all that...
