Tough question!

There are many, many, many, many debates about this, but I would have to say Ch. d'Y quem. Ch. d'Y quem is a late-harvest, botrytized (meaning it has been affected by a sugar intensifying fungus, called Botrytis cinerea or Noble Rot) wine from the sub-region of Bordeaux called Sauternes. It was the chosen wine by US presidents Jefferson and Washington, and the 1811 vintage, yes...1811, is STILL tasting incredible, and only costs about $100,000 per bottle!

Other notable selections are:

- Ch. Montelena Chardonnay, Napa Valley, CA. The wine that put California on the international map after it beat all of the top French whites in a blind tasting in the '70s.

- Dom Perignon, Reims, France. Sparkling, yes, but white as well. The benchmark of Champagne.

- Le Montrachet, Cote de Beaune, Burgundy. Perhaps not the most famous, but almost universally regarded as the best white wine in the world, and only $1,000 a bottle for a current vintage!
