The $16,500 Wine Tasting
Hey, and you thought the Eclipse dinner was expensive!
Check out Decanter Magazine’s story about the wine tasting to end all wine tastings and get a little taste — or “a splash,” as the story says — of how the other half lives.
Let me see if I’ve got this straight: even at $16,500 a pop, this tasting was …
… sold out. Some of the wines were way over the hill and shot — probably punishing to even swallow. And organizers are already busily planning next year’s event!
Only in America.
Wait — let me be more specific: only in Manhattan.
Think something like this would fly in Dayton, Ohio?
Cheers!
