Mon, 12/05/2011 - 10:47 — Anonymous For 62-year-old Christian Vanneque, a
love of wine has taken him to one particularly unexpected place: the Guinness
Book of World Records. Vanneque became the owner of the most expensive
bottle of white wine ever sold when he paid US$117,000 for a bottle of 1811
Château d'Yquem earlier this year. The gaudy buy caps an impressive
wine-industry career. At the tender age of 20, Vanneque was head sommelier
at Paris' famed three-Michelin star La Tour d'Argent, making him
France's youngest chef sommelier, and in charge, at the time, of the
largest restaurant wine cellar in the world.read more
