And Mark, if you're looking for a Christmas present for me, Jayer's Vosne-Romanee Crox Parantoux with round out the basket with my DRC Romanee-Conti and Leroy Chambertin very nicely.

If you want some of the most high end red wine, you may have to buy it at auction, and it could take a few years to find some of it. Below are a few of the most famous.

Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945; Chateau Latour 1870; Chateau Cheval-Blanc 1947; Musigny Vieilles Vignes 1949, Comte de Vogue; Le Romanee-Conti 1945; La Tache 1945; Very old(late 1800's to 1945) Biondi-Santi Brunello from a few select years(not recent ones); Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 1931;

LOL!! Well, that's the least I could do for you after you've gone to all the trouble of locating that Imperial of '47 Cheval Blanc for me... :P

Hey Dale

Count me in on that Cheval Blanc deal (my dream bottle for my 60th next year!)

From a couple "business deals" I have available (cash of course!) 2 million Colombian Pesos and 5 million Iranian Rial.

Will that cover it?

No, in fact I have 3 bottles of Latour 1961 and one of 1945. However the 1870, from the very cold cellar in a castle of the late Queen Mother of England, has been reported to be in top form. The 1870 Latour was one of the most slow Latours to mature that is known, and the very cold cellar helped. A little of this was sold at auction many years ago. It is likely to come up for auction again only when some collector dies or has financial troubles. It may or may not be a bit better than the 61 or 45, but it tops them in rarity and snob appeal.

There are several other wines one could mention such as Lafite 1959, Margaux 1953, Petrus 1961, etc., but these, even if as good as some on the list, do not have quite the rarity and high price as most I mentioned.

The major wine auctions are quite democratic. Even an exceedingly rare Tokay Essence over 100 years old or a bottle of classic Constantia from the 1700s or early 1800s. will be sold to anyone who offers the most money. You can even bid by phone or mail. I doubt if any of the Hollywood snob restaurants and wine sellers mentioned by others have the selection of rare wines offered by the top auction houses in the UK and USA. The way to handle waiters and sales persons who are not polite is to see the manager and explain the situation. If the manager does not correct the situation, just leave the store or restaurant. There are plenty of other firms that know how to be polite.

You people are confusing 'high-end' wine with collectable stuff. High end starts at about $50-75 US.
