The dessert was now served, and with it came the costly wines which I had ordered to be kept back till then. Priceless "Chateau Yquem," "Clos Vougeot," of the rarest vintages, choice "Valpulcello" and an exceedingly superb "Lacrima Cristi" one after the other, these were tasted, criticised, and heartily appreciated.
Chambertin, or Clos de Vougeot, at twelve bob a bottle that's the sort of tipple, I rather flatter myself eh?" Henry Dunbar drew himself up with a slight shudder, as if repelled and disgusted by the man's vulgarity. "What do you want of me?" he asked. "Remember that I am waited for.

Chambertin: A sound, delicate wine with a flavor resembling raspberry. Clos de Vogeot: Similar to chambertin, and often called the king of burgandy. Romanee: A very rare and costly wine of rich, ruby color, with a delicate bouquet. Clarets are valued for their flavor and for their tonic properties.
