What They Were Drinking in Davos

[Peter Conway]

Things are good in Davos at the 2006 World Economic Forum.

Mark Vamos of Fast Company reports on the wines served at the party hosted by Google in Davos.

"Hands down, the best event at Davos was the Google party on Friday night. Never mind the glittering guest list, which included the likes of Michael Douglas and Shimon Peres (who gave an off-the-record talk). Let's talk about the wines that were served at the Kirschner Museum on Davos's main drag. We started with Krug Champage, vintage 1990. Then moved on the Chateau Margaux 1989. Then Gruaud-Larose 1989. And then magnum bottles of Chateau Lynch-Bages—1955, if I read the label correctly, which at that point may have been a bit debatable. It all sure had a 1999 feel to it. Google, coincidentally, will be reporting 2005 results after the closing bell Tuesday. If the party in Davos is any indication, I expect the numbers to be pretty good." Mark Vamos at Fast Company

Mano a Vino did some quick research on the list they are all available except the 1955.

Krug Champagne 1990. $135-$170

Chateau Lynch-Bages can't find the 55. 1953,57,59 $500-$600
