Popovich Popping The Cork

Anyone who read the blog on Friday knew that I was in Paris for vacation. Although I wasn't at Tony Parker-Eva Longoria wedding I did have some spies around the city to try to give me some insight on what was happening. Here's the best nugget I got. San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and others, including Sean Elliott, went to a restaurant called Taillevent, where the wine list is said to be among the finest in the country. Turns out, our spies report, Popovich ordered a 1959 Magnum of Chateau d'Yquem--said to be the favorite of Queen Elizabeth II for 4,000 Euros ($5,480).

Now, I'm no wine fanatic, but I bet that was some sweet-ass hooch.

Pop drops 54 hundy on a bottle of wine.

The conversations that must have gone on there were so high brow, it would make scientists yawn.

Pop does pretty good in the paycheck department. 5K plus for a bottle of wine is like ordering a large coke at the movies for most of us in the real world.

A little annoying but hey, when in Rome (Paris).

I wouldn't pay that much for wine unless I was Bill Gates.
