Hero of the working class.

(US News & World Report) – Finally, after two straight presidents who didn’t appreciate the taste of a fine French burgundy, Buckingham Palace tonight had a chance to put on the Ritz for a first family who enjoy a long dinner and luscious wine.

Most notable from the wine cellars of the famous palace: A Echezeaux Grand Cru 1990, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, that goes for $1,000 – $1,700 per bottle in the United States.

There were a bunch of other wines, like Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin champagne and a very nice $170 1963 port President and first lady Michelle Obama, who are noted for dinner dates at Washington’s finest restaurants, have probably had before.

But the Echezeaux Grand Cru 1990 is a different thing altogether, something even reviewer Robert Parker says is a rare treat for the super rich. He gave it 93 points in 1992 and, of course, it’s only supposed to get better in the bottle.
