The cry of Francois Audouze, retired chief executive officer of French steelmaker Arus SA, signals something big is about to pour down in the bar of the Apicius restaurant in Paris. Hunkered over a saloon table surrounded by waiters, Audouze reinserts the tip of his bespectacled nose into the bottle of a 1943 La Tache.

 

``This is why I quit my job,'' the 62-year-old Audouze says, breathing the aroma that in 1997 took him out of the boardroom for a nasal career supplying his wealthy former colleagues with rare wines that stretch back to the 18th century and can cost more than $40,000 a bottle.

 

Must be nice to have the $$$!!

 

To me wine is living and evolving; it would be great to taste something from 200 + years ago. Washington, Jefferson etc... were still alive and people were riding horses to work or worried about cholera, the plague and Indians....
