Figured I could parcel out bottle share portions to offset some of the investment, but then did the math and realized it would be a tough sell to recoup even a decent portion. If I gave up half the bottle, that's 6 2oz shares... meaning I'd have to charge $150 each to even break even. Few bottle share groups I follow charge remotely that much for much rarer and older stuff.
