Piaget Altiplano

Ultra thin and extremely clean design is what characterizes the Piaget Altiplano. Measuring only 2.1 mm in thickness, this timepiece proves that less can be, more beautiful and more functional. Who needs all the buttons and dials, when all one needs is to tell time? Pure perfection without ostentatiousness.

Mercedes Benz Roadside Assistance

The Mercedes Benz (MB) Roadside Assistance program, available to MB owners no matter the vehicle's age or warranty status, is worthy of praise not just because of the service provided when a driver is stranded, but because of the follow-up to every call. It is MB's policy to call the owner of the vehicle a day or two after a call for help has been placed and ask for feedback on both how the call for assistance was handled by MB, as well as to the level of satisfaction with the service provided. Excellent companies truly care about their customers' opinions.

Château d'Yquem

Of all the French sauternes, Chateau d'Yquem is unquestionably the best of the sweet dessert wines. Produced from white grapes consumed of most of their liquid by the fungus butrytis cinerea, or "Noble Rot," this wine is syrupy bliss.
The harvesting of grapes consumed by the Noble Rot is difficult. Juices flow like molasses from the grapes when squeezed, but all the hard work of the vinter are well worth the effort when a bottle is opened at the end of a fine meal.
