Even a week after the Stanley Cup championship, Bostonians continue to lap up any and all things Bruins.  So I got a huge kick yesterday out of the media stories surrounding the players’ $156,000 blowout at Foxwoods’ Shrine nightclub this past weekend.

Made me wonder: how, exactly, does one spend that kind of money at the bar? It sure wasn’t the 136 Bud Lights, the 35 Jager Bombs…and that one Corona.  Turns out the major culprit was a $100K 30-litre bottle of Ace of Spades “Midas” champagne.  My occasional splurges on Veuve Clicquot look downright tame by comparison.  Even makes Dom seem like something that’s not too good for a splash of OJ.

The Ace sure looks pretty (turns out the 30-liter bottle is one of only six in the world) but what do the experts have to say about what’s inside? “Armand De Brignac has been produced by a family owned vineyard for over two hundred years and has only just started to be imported from France. It is said to have notes of flowers, citrus, dried fruits and brioche,” said Luxist.com.  It’s also said to have “hip hop” cred and be favored by celebs like Jay-Z.  Hmmm.

Regardless, Boston fans can take comfort in knowing Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, had to settle for a 15-litre bottle just a few days earlier.
