An Expensive Mistake

好味但好貴啊 An Expensive Mistake
🍷
過時過節當然要開酒慶祝，但有網友表示係日本嘅餐廳開酒時唔小心計錯滙率，將80,000 Yen換算成 US$80 (正確換算應該係 US $800, 大約港幣 $6,000)。雖然佢表示好好飲，但哩個錯真係有啲貴! 佢當日究竟飲咗咩酒?
A diner in Japan failed to correctly calculate exchange rates and ended up ordering a bottle of US$800 wine (~HKD $6k) rather than US$80. But at least he commented the wine was "really good". Check out what he drank!
🍷
佢飲嘅就係來自加州Napa Valley嘅膜拜酒 Amuse Bouche Proprietary Red Blend 2013。
And it was Amuse Bouche Proprietary Red Blend 2013 from Napa Valley.

🍷
Amuse Bouche以精湛嘅釀酒工藝、卓越嘅葡萄酒品質加上稀少嘅產量而聞名。釀酒師Heidi Barrett作為Screaming Eagle第一代釀酒師而聞名，更有「膜拜酒天后」嘅稱號。甚至有人戲稱Heidi能夠點石成金，可見出自佢手嘅葡萄酒都絕不平凡。
🍷
Amuse Bouche嘅釀造上參考法國Pomerol，以Merlot及Cabernet Franc為主要混釀品種。年產量超級稀少，約只有600-700箱。
Collectible wine and collectible art come together to create Amuse Bouche Napa Valley Red Blend. Amuse Bouche Red Blend is a joint wine venture with the legendary Heidi Barrett (aka First Lady of wine) and John Schwartz. This Pomerol-style Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend is made from some of the best grape sources in the Napa Valley. Only 600-700 hundred cases produced each year.
🍷
Heidi更將藝術融入到葡萄酒，每一個年份有以不同知名藝術家嘅畫作做酒標。為哩款珍稀嘅葡萄酒再增添一份收藏價值。
And having a similar concept with Chateau Mouton Rothschild, the winery uses a different art piece each year as the wine label, turning the bottles into a collectible art. You may enjoy the pleasures of both art forms.
🍷
