当然,如果大家都在经济危机,您依然富得流油,有钱无处扔,也可以试试下面某些贼贵的:

Delicious Wines of 2008

Of wines we tasted this year, one (Château Latour) earned our highest rating, Delicious!, and we ranked eight others Delicious. These prices were representative at the time of the tasting. These are likely no long available, at least in these vintages, but think of them as examples of Delicious wines on shelves everywhere. Explore!

Château Latour 2005 (Pauillac)
France. $1,950.
Bordeaux's 2005 vintage was widely praised, leading to outrageous prices on top wines. At least this one was pretty darn spectacular. It deserves a most stately entrée, such as chateaubriand.

Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millénaires Blanc de Blancs Champagne 1995
France. $89.95.
In a tasting of "prestige Champagnes," this was our surprise winner, the only wine that cost less than $100. This pairs well with just about everything, from scallops in cream sauce to sushi.

Vinum Africa Chenin Blanc 2006 (Stellenbosch)
South Africa. $10.95.
South Africa is trying to get a foothold in the U.S. market, so there are some great deals, like this bright, confident white. It would pair well with a rich avocado salad or veal in cream sauce.

Don Olegario Albariño 2005
Spain. $19.20.
Some of the world's most exciting wines are coming from Spain and Albariño is just one example. This is great to sip alone and wonderful with any type of seafood.

Don David (Michel Torino Estate) 'Reserve' Torrontés 2007
(Cafayate Valley), Argentina. $16.
Argentina has become a major player with its signature red, Malbec. Now its signature white, Torrontés, is getting attention, too. Try it with poultry.

Vietti 'Scarrone' Barbera d'Alba 2005
Italy. $41.40.
Italy's Barbera continues to be one of the most charming wines around and is always a good bet for a big red. Think Gorgonzola gnocchi.

Vincent Girardin Premier Cru 'Les Caillerets' Volnay 2005
France. $63.15.
Red Burgundy can be a heartbreaker, but we found the wines from 2005 consistently excellent. This sings with duck and roast chicken.

Dead Letter Office (Henry's Drive Vignerons) Shiraz 2005 (McLaren Vale/Padthaway)
Australia. $28.
This huge, ageable wine would go well with a roasted leg of lamb or veal chops.

Pirramimma (A.C. Johnston) Shiraz 2004 (McLaren Vale)
Australia. $20.99.
We have been disappointed with Australia's Shiraz for some time, and we were disappointed again this year, but this and the Dead Letter Office show what these wines can be.
