This information comes to me by way of my buddy "Ketch" from the Toronto, CA area. My snarky remarks are in italics:Most Expensive Wines here in Ketch Country:
1. 2000 Château Le Pin (Pomerol): $5,899.00. Two bottles reported in stock at Summerhill. Hugh Johnson: "Almost as rich as its drinkers, but prices well beyond Pétrus are ridiculous." LCBO# 641167
--I totally agree with that statement.
2. 2000 Cheval Blanc (St. Emilion): $1,499.00. One bottle reported in stock at Summerhill. Cheval Blanc had a cameo in Sideways as the wine (from the fabled year of 1961) Miles consoled himself with a his local burger shack. LCBO# 641209
3. 2000 Château Margaux (Margaux): $1,249.00. One bottle reported in stock at the Roundhouse Centre in Windsor. Johnson calls this wine the "most seductive and fabulously perfumed of all in its top vintages". LCBO# 641183
4. 2000 Château Haut-Brion (Graves): $1,099.00. Five bottles reported in stock at Summerhill. Note this is for the red. The white can be had for between $800 and $500 depending on the vintage, ask the cashier at your local LCBO. LCBO# 641191
--I'll keep that one in mind for my 50th birthday party. If I open a savings account today, I just may be able to raise the funds just in time, provided there are any bottles left!
