i have no idea what a dykiwa is. maybe an appetizer. not too sure about btw either. do know what lv is as that is part of the moet group. the very wealthy that i know do not have labels on the outside of their belongs. very tacky. maybe russian, or japanese.

i think what you saw is not uncommon when the very wealthy or very famous of europe eat where they are known. such occurances have happened to us many times when eating in a 2 or 3* restaurant.

do know wine, however. did you expect them to "but they didn't really offer up or explain the wine offerings, until we asked them"

Winner of the "Grand Award" from the Wine Spectator since 2004, more than 53,000 bottles, over 3,000 labels, a cellar divided into a number of individually air-conditioned areas, a collection on a vast scale, wines from 1888 to the present day, them bottles?

i presume there is a wine person there who can , but do you really have the time?
i once asked the list in a paris 2*. the list was 40 pages long(single spaced). found a great 20 yo Madiran to go with my lievra royale for about €10-15 after 15 min of reading. this list is probably only 1500 entrys.
