Kraken Opus CEO Karl Fowler makes a bold claim in saying "this is not a book", but it's backed up by the inclusion of a six-bottle case from 100 wineries to be selected in March at a gathering of top sommeliers in London. I wonder who'll be in attendance at this exclusive tasting to be known as "The United Nations of Wine".
Rachel Solar reports for Stuff@Night that only 100 books will be published. This makes 60,000 bottles, 600 bottles from each winery. CBC News has a more accurate price tag: £640,000 or $1.12 million with a weight over 30 kg and a size of 1.5 square meters. So what wines do you think will be selected?
I certainly hope Joly's Clos de la Coulée de Serrant makes the list because it's an exceptional chenin blanc--think seductive--so exceptional, in fact, to have its very own AOC (think Romanée-Conti and Château-Grillet).
