It’s not difficult to spot Jay-Z’s Armand de Brignac Champagne from the stellar line-up of labels on offer at Siyam World’s wine cellar-cum-private-restaurant, Barique.
The creme de la crème of wines from around the world would surely please the most discerning of palates. There are around 17 Champagnes to choose from, including a magnum of Ruinart Blanc de Blanc ($599), a Roederer Cristal Brut ($2,299) and a 2005 Dom Perignon Brut Rose ($1,949).
But it’s the metallic gold bottle with its embossed ace of spades logo that I want to stroke, open and drink. And at $300, the Armand de Brignac is actually something of a bargain.
