chico Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I guess, most like to drink good wines at times. I wonder, what the most expensif wine was, you ever drank? the most expensif bottle, I ever found, was in a restaurant in Miami Beach. On a business lunch, one guy said, that we had to look at the wine list : a book, over 6.000 different wines, and as the waiter explained, except the very old ones, several cases of each!! top of the list ( we did not drink it!!!) : Chateau Lafitte Rothschild, 1822! price : US $ 35.000 per bottle!! and they showed us in the private part of the cellar, that they still had 5 bottles! my most expensif was a 24 yr old Aloxe Corton (red burgundy) for 320 euro to celebrate my last working day!! What about you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most expensive one I ever had was also a Lafitte, but from 1929, back in 1995 at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, which has the best collection of Lafitte in the world.... Then 1822.... I doubted your statement and did a google, which turned up that 1 bottle was recently purchased by Le Forge in Miami at the grand price of USD 150.000. Believe me that you will not be allowed to drink this, its only prestige to have.

The non-vintage goes for about 50squid. Unless you are a member of the Stonyridge wine club (membership has been chokka for about 10 years), it is almost impossible to get in NZ as 90% of it is exported. Not as good as a penfolds grange,but very close. Most exp[ensive wine that I have had here at a resturant, is a bottle of krug. i think it was around THB9000. I wasn't paying!

Jai Dee Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Another very good red wine from the Coonawarra district is Jamieson's Run. Nowhere near the price of Penfold's Grange Hermitage or the Henschke, but a consistantly good performer. The most expensive bottle of wine I've ever shared was a 1983 Grange Hermitage... at AUD$300 a bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Bangkok Fine Wine is a company that sells a range of good wines from various countries at reasonable (for Thailand) prices. You can also get a 10% discount if buying in case lots. For example: Brokenhills Estate Colombard/Chardonnay for 4,680 baht / case. They provided the wine for the Australian Chamber of Commerce AFL Grand Final Party at the Sheraton last year. I'm not sure where their outlet is (as I usually send a driver to pick up my order) but I do have a name and contact number if anyone's interested.
