and a fake one at that. Will those people ever drink the wine or just admire it?



Celebrity Chicago chef Charlie Trotter was sued Thursday for allegedly selling two collectors a large bottle of wine that was supposedly highly valuable but in fact was a fake. Bekim (Benn) and Ilir Frrokaj paid more than $46,200 in June of last year for what Trotter had claimed was a magnum of 1945 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti from the chef's famed, now-shuttered restaurant Charlie Trotter's in Chicago. The pair said they only learned the bottle was counterfeit when they tried to have it insured and a consultant told them it had no value.

these people belong to category b) from the other thread. they were impressed by the consonant/vowel ratio and the clusters of alphabets in the name of the wine "domaine de la romanee-conti." if only the wine name was "haut-medoc alsace cotes-du-rhone mise-du-printepms" they would have happily paid 145,000 a bottle.
