Million Dollar Red Red Wine Hangover

184

i once went to a private birthday party in Tokyo.  i basically flew from Hawaii to Japan, went to the party, and flew back to Hawaii the next day.  that was a very short trip, but a very special one.  at that party, there were 3 bottles of wine.  back then, i really didn’t know about wine but i’d drink it anyway.  the wine was called “Romanée-Conti.”  and this was one of the 3 bottles and thank goodness i took a photo of it… then i was at a party recently and my friends were talking about wine.  he scanned the label of one of the bottles of Romanée-Conti i drank with his wine app, and this is what showed.  just this one bottle averaged $18,500USD or over 2,000,000 yen!  OMG!  multiply that by 3 and that’s a whole lot of money!!!   Romanée-Conti is in the Top 1% in the world for wines.  now looking back, i should have appreciated it a little more and finished my last glass.  will i get another chance?  probably not as this fine wine is even more expensive now since you can’t even find a bottle.  but if i do get another chance, i’ll sip it slower and maybe even light up a cigar.   and i don’t even smoke.  haha.  “The hangover only lasts a day, but the memories last a lifetime.”  yes, i will never ever forget that special night in Tokyo with special friends, and special wine.  that will last more than a lifetime of memories for me…
