Went shopping in one of the newer grocery stores in Guangzhou last weekend. This new store, called Ole', is located in the basement of a very new, upscale shopping mall. So technically, we can get our groceries after purchasing a bag from Prada, underwear from Calvin Klein, and a watch from Mont Blanc. I went to the wine section to get a bottle of white - and lo and behold, I was speechless at what I found. This bottle sold for 240 RMB - about $35 or so.
Of course we purchased one - to save? Maybe I will open it up after the Browns win this weekend. Or save for Martin's 18th birthday....
(The decorations in the store are seen here. I guess they were celebrating the US Labor Day weekend holiday.....)
(Their wine section is extensive, and expensive. A bottle of 1982 Chateau Rothschild is for sale for 115000RMB - about $18000. Is that a good bottle? I was not allowed to take pictures of it....)

I think we should start a business importing French wine to sell to the store! It looks like we could buy it at auction for under $2,000: http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/mouton+rothschild/1982
