(Wine Searcher) - Two unique bottles of wine are being presented for sale in an unlikely spot.
Every day at Wine-Searcher we list millions of products and many of these of these wines and spirits are spectacular. So, it takes something truly special – and by special we mean a wine so rare and unique we only have one verified offer for each product – for us to sit up and take notice.
So, what are the latest unicorn wines? Well, most of you are going to have to travel an awfully long way to find them.
Back in the prehistoric days of the 1980s and '90s, on the edge of the world, there was a restaurant so well thought of that gifts were, quite literally, flown to them.
The Champerelle restaurant in Wellington, New Zealand, was as famous for its drinks list as it was for its menu. The owners, Lois and Stephen Peter took special pride in their wine selection and, as a result, built quite a collection, even winning the 1992 Decanter Robert Mondavi Award for best wines by the glass in the Far East. Sadly, the restaurant is no longer but the cellar lives on.
