Chateau Lafite 1787 sold at Christie's London in 1985 for $160,000.
Bought for the Forbes Collection, this bottle of Lafite bears Thomas Jefferson's initials etched into the glass, a practice not that unusual in the 18th century when large purchases were made directly from the Chateau.

I would say Franc Corbet. It's a Canadian Ice Wine which they produce only once a year. I think its like $90 per bottle.
