What would YOU name the wine that comes from the world’s most expensive grapes?

Check out this story from the Associated Press about the world’s most expensive grapes making their debut in Japan.

A Japanese hotel manager paid about $26 per grape — per grape — for a 1 1/2 pound bunch of Ruby Roman grapes.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking? That’s right. We all know grapes weren’t put here on earth for eating. What kind of wine would these grapes produce? .

A local agriculture official describes the grapes as “delicious — sweet but fresh at the same time, very well-balanced.” Jeez, sounds like the world’s most perfect wine in the making.

So, what would you name the wine that comes from the most expensive grapes in the world?

'Quantum of Solace'[movies]

Men have curious ways of getting over a romantic betrayal. Some try avoidance. Some go on the rebound. James Bond's method, as seen in "Quantum of Solace," involves shooting, ducking, running, bleeding, locking dudes in car trunks and the massive destruction of parts of Italy and Bolivia. Obviously Daniel Craig is back as the shoot first, drink cocktails later version of 007 in the follow-up to 2006's "Casino Royale". More »
