Cristal Library Rose 1989 France, $900
Its just shy of the $1,000 mark, but this exquisite Rose merits a spot on any list of luxury wines. Cristal is known world-wide as a prestigious vineyard and this salmon-hued, harmonious product proves why. "On the nose, the wine has an elegant bouquet with hints of cherries that mingle with notes of lightly toasted nuts and a slight trace of orange zest," says Shawn Banayan, co-owner of Mel and Rose Wine & Spirits in Los Angeles. Upon first sip, drinkers will notice a long finish with slight fruit undertones. This Magnum (equal to two bottles) is a truly decadent celebration Champagne.
