At other tables, clothing magnate Georges Marciano, film director James L. Brooks, celebrity photographer Phil Ramey, entertainment attorney Howard Weitzman and movie producer Arthur Sarkissian nibbled the free sushi and truffle-oil-flavored popcorn while they sipped the free Champagne.

This is even more insane than spending 75 grand on a case of wine.

It's guys like this who are pricing me out of the rare wine market.

Kurniawan plans to go into the retail wine business.

Hopefully he will find clients as mad for wine as he is.

It seems to me he IS in the wine business...

"Though he's culled his old wine collection, selling off duplicates in two recent Acker Merrall sales that grossed $35.4 million, he continues to buy entire cellars directly from other collectors as well as at auction"

Years I've been here and I still can't do italics...

Well, yes, but that's not really retail business, now is it? Then again he'll probably sell less rare wines and keep the best for himself (and his *friends*)?
