More than $300,000 in world-class wine stolen from a famed Napa Valley, California, restaurant has been recovered from a private cellar in North Carolina. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that the wine was stolen on Christmas Day from the French Laundry restaurant, which is rated three stars in the Michelin guide and has twice been named the best in the world by Restaurant Magazine. Napa County sheriff’s Captain Doug Pike says it’s unclear how the 76 bottles of mainly rare French wine ended up in Greensboro and no arrests have been made. Pike says the stolen wine included Domaine de la RomanA©e-Conti, a single bottle of which can cost up to $10,000. Winery owners use laser and digital technology on its corks and capsules to curb counterfeiting and theft.
