Top Shelf

[Lady Day]

If you had $1000 to splurge on one ingestible (smoke, eat, drink) item, you would buy? Think it would live up to the hype?

Me, being the coffee gal I am, yes, I would get a pound ($160) of the Kopi Luwak coffee Then Id try the others on the list....

So what is your top shelf?

[Quigley Brown]

Does it have to be a 'legal' smoke???

Does it have to be a 'legal' smoke???

thats what i was thinking but i figured we could just go the Vix Eatery in the Hotel Victor in South Beach, Miami and buy the La Corona from 1937 for $1000 and they throw in a bottle of Prohibition era whiskey...sounds like a deal to me...read on, monsier

Whole spit-roasted steer. Everyone welcome. BYOB and appetite.

In that case, I'll get $1000 worth of Woodchuck Amber Draft Cider and bring it to the steer roast.

Vintage Port. Probably from 1977. $1,000 would just about get a case, so I would have some to share.

Three boxes of Montecristo No. 2s from www.cubanlous.com and as much Havana Club 7 year old and 3 year old rum that the remainder would buy. After dinner cigar, anyone?

Cheese? Different types. There is a cave aged Gruyere that Hubby and I love, along with a cheddar from Dorset that is aged forever and is sooooooooooooo good....

This has all the makings of the party-to-end-all-parties!!! :essen:

Yep, I think we should all get together and share our bounty.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Well, I'd love to bring for the gang some Black Diamond Extra Sharp Aged Canadian Cheddar. Oh, and some fresh press cider, a bit of Hudson Valley Fois gras, some Czech sausage and a few loaves of Italian bread from Ballisteri's Bakery in Buffalo.

As for myself, a few years ago, up in San Francisco with the wife , we had dinner at Aliotos on Fishermen's Wharf. On the menu was a sixty-five dollar lobster tail that was, quite frankly, the most exquisite meal I ever had. So, If I had a Grand, I'd take TWO!

 

[JEEP]

Hmmm, it would probably be a bottle or two of vintage ruby portwine for me - once you taste portwine that fine you are marked for life.
