Hughes: Thank you. <br />Masuda: I have a question. I just have to know, is your highest end wines still that $50,000 <br />bottle? <br />Dreimann: We actually just recently sold a $120,000 bottle of wine. We actually tried to <br />calculate what that is for every sip. But it came out to, if you take a 10 ml. sip, you're talking <br />about $1,500 a sip. I never had it so I can't say if it's worth it or not, but that is certainly the <br />most expensive I saw. There's been recently some champagne that was found at the bottom <br />of the sea on a ship that had sunk over 120 years ago and they discovered a case of Dom <br />Perignon still in perfect condition because it was kept very cool and the salvage company <br />donated it to a field of charities in London and they've been selling them one bottle at a time at <br />auctions. Each one of them brought over a million dollars per bottle. At least in this case, it's <br />a charity. But I'd rather have an expensive car or something like that. <br />Nahale-a: Fantastic. I can't believe it's been a year from when you first came with this idea. <br />Dreimann: Yes, with Jason Ray who was representing Four Seasons at that time. <br />Nahale-a: Yes, congratulations on a productive year it sounds. <br />Dreimann: Well, it's great for the members. Four Seasons is not happy. Their three and four <br />hundred percent mark-ups in the other restaurants interfere a little bit with people that go to <br />both. <br />Arakaki: I have a question about how the members get access to the wines. Is it on the menu <br />in the restaurant? <br />Dreimann: It's on the menu. In the restaurants, it's on the menu. There is a wine list and <br />there's also a members website that only members have access to so they can order on the <br />website and there is a store there called the Trading Company for members. They can order <br />on the website and pick it up at the Trading Company if it is for their own home use. That <br />portion of it has been rare since they dine out most of the time. Occasionally, they'll have a <br />party or an event and they'll use that method. <br />Nahale-a: Thank you. Any other questions or other discussion? <br />There were no other questions or discussion from the Commissioners. <br />Nahale-a: Seeing none, call for the question and friendly reminder that this application also <br />should be approved with public hearing to be held in Kona in April. <br />Onizuka: Move to approve Application No. 18-19, if approved, public hearing to be held <br />April 4, 2019, in Kona. <br />Hughes: Second that. <br />FEBRUARY 7, 2019 - LIQUOR COMMISSION MINUTES 20 <br />
