We first mentioned Krug's new and highly anticipated single vineyard 1995 Clos d'Ambonnay back in the fall, and although it's not due for release until May Eric Asimov for The New York Times got to take a taste and, according to him, it's "worth every penny." So just how many pennies is he giving the nod to? About 300,000 of them, as the Clos d'Ambonnay is expected to sell for between $3000 and $3500 per bottle.

Will you be springing for a bottle of your own? Money or not, good luck getting your hands on it -- there are only 250 cases in existence.
