Hey?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Dude? Hey, not Lie.
Speaker 9 (09:54):
I just went to the spot for the first time
last weekend. We got invited to go out for a
truffle dinner.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Are you serious?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Man?
Speaker 7 (10:02):
It's it's a wild fancy out there.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
The Yeah, but you're you're not even Winchester Fancy.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
No, sir, this is from Role Fancy.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
And I had my Tocito T shirt on and they said, sir,
you gotta put your jacket on.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Wait, so they made you put a jacket on?
Speaker 8 (10:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (10:20):
They everybody in there was wearing ties, jackets, everything like that.
We walked in and we were like, oh, like, I
had a button up shirt on.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
But I just kind of kept my black jacket on just.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
So everyone didn't see that was not ironed or whatever.
But it was. It was. It was real good. It was.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
It's quite expensive, but we weren't, like I said, we
weren't paying, so we were happy to be there.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Hey two things.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Number one, were you the only one with a Copenhagen
ring in your jeans?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
No?
Speaker 9 (10:50):
But I was the only one secretly hitting my vape
at the table.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It's nice, like Captain Crunch, Hey, what what did you order? No?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He said, he went to it.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah, we got the truffle dinner.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
So, I mean it was five courses, all had something
to do with either Allian truffle or Hungarian truffle. Like
they rattled off everything when they brought the steps to
the table so quick that you really didn't have any
idea what you were eating.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
But it was really, really good.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Did you have any wine with the dinner?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
We didn't. We uh, we don't drink, but uh, but
everybody else was. They had.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
There was this cass after cass coming out from the back.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
It looks like they make most of their money on
the wine. I would think, I.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Don't know, so you don't know if anybody had a
bottle of domain dayla romani contea do I that's a
that's a that's a wine dying. We call it the
U d r C the do domain dela romaney conte.
She's on wash.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Yeah, there's a lot of syllables. I don't think I
heard that one being thrown around the dining room.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But all right, very good, thank you sir.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yes, I see the dinner. He was at Black and
White and owe to truffles, seating between five and eight
thirty pm. How much per head you really want to know?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Two ninety five, two hundred and ninety five dollars ahead,
that's before taxes, gratuity and drinks. Well, they say truffles
are expensive, right, Hey, can I get mine without that
flaky stuff on it?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Three hundred dollars a person.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And that's without the domain de la romani conti?
Speaker 8 (12:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Can I go to line one?
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Do you answer any questions about labayars?
Speaker 8 (12:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You been?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Yeah, I actually know the owner's pretty well celested.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I'm sorry, what was the what was his name?
Speaker 8 (13:06):
Chris?
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Like Christians?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh? Finnegan?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Wait, can I can I ask? Can I can I
ask a real question? Like, his name's Christian, right.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
It's pronoun. That's the best I can give you.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Okay, my name is now Elu.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
And it sounds like you're about to piss him off.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, oh no, Yeah, but isn't isn't isn't krish also
the sol.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
He's the world famous somalier. I don't know if you
guys are familiar, but they were just robbed for a
couple of wines that thank you, thank you, that world
renowned wines.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So that's the whole reason I brought it up. But
did you did you see how they ended up getting robbed?
Speaker 5 (13:55):
I believe it was people that came from overseas, I
think Europe and uh they came into the restaurant and
sat down and posed as famous wine connoisseurs and Krishawn
had taken them on a tour of the cellar and
then they they stole the Conti bottles and tried to
replace them with replicas.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
So here's what I was reading.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Hey, do you know, like, do you have a way
to get in touch with Celeste or Kishon?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I actually know Celeste's brother very well. I grew up
with that family. They have worked in that restaurant, for
many decades, so I could definitely put you in touch
with the brother.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, heye, see if you can get them, I'd love
to talk to them real quick. Hey, hold on one second, Okay,
just I'm minn all. Hold on one second, Hold on
one second.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
They had decoy bottles.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, so are you ready for this?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So that's how this whole story comes up, right that
in my believing that Mike Jones has has been there.
So Labert's pro Von sal the Fine Dining Destination reports
that thieves stole several bottles.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Of a very rare wine from their cellar.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
The suspects in the case wore wigs imposed as event planners.
They claimed they were planning a high end event and
requested a tour of the restaurant and its wine cellar. Now,
the owner, Celeste, says, we've been collecting wine for decades
and we're very proud of it. We love showing people
(15:35):
our wine cellar. It's one of the most special parts
of who we are. Once inside the cellar, the suspects
replaced genuine bottles of Domain de la Romanique Conti with
counterfeit screwcap bottles. Those DRC the main whatever are so
(16:02):
exclusive that even the most prestigious restaurants must be invited
to purchase them.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's not just about money, said Creston.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
To acquire a bottle like that, you have to have
built a relationship over the years. These bottles were the
crown jewels of our cellar Damn. When the suspects abruptly departed,
Labert says staff quickly realized the bottles were missing. Employees
(16:39):
and an on site guest chased the pair towards their
getaway car, which was a New Jersey rental parked out
of view. One staff member narrowly avoided injury as the
male suspects sped off. However, they were able to detain
the female suspect. She's now being held without bond pending
(17:05):
a court date. The male remains at large. How about that?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
And where are the bottles?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh? I think they said of the bottles, hold on?
I think they said they recovered.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Two bottles, a grand shue Zoo and an sue.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I can't pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Two DRC bottles, a grand es Chazoo and a I
guess normal es Chazoo were recovered, but several remain missing.
Each bottle has a unique serial number, which may help
law enforcement trace them. However, Labert says DRC wine are
(18:00):
known to circulate through the black market.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Wow, what story.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And also in my mind links that they went to
with the wigs and the face bottles.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yes, where am I going? Line one hill?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Then this is Jonathan Silvester. I have mister Patterson on
the line. Mister Patterson is actually the last brother. He
was married at at Labar's and he probably has a
lot more information on La Bears than anybody else.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
He could talk to you.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I'll hold for him if you want to put him through. Oh,
there he is. I got him now in the car bonjour.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Hey, I'm doing well, dude. I was reading about this.
I don't know. I don't the wine caper or the
wine heist, dude, that's no joke.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
The wine heist of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Five, the and listen, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Like even they said, I don't know how much those
bottles of wine are worth, but that's amazing.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
The ones menicing over forty grand per bottle, no total total?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh thank god, still.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Wine. The biggest problem is you can't replace them, right,
there's only so many out there, and you know, they
got them years ago at a really nice price. Granted,
but you can't buy them like I want to go
online or if I go to a wine wholesale or
(19:42):
district international distributor, they're not available. You can't buy them
at any price. So the fact that you say they
worth forty grand, they could be worth more if somebody
wants wants the bottle and nobody else has it. So
they knew what they were doing. They came in, they
were very, very deceptive. They presented themselves, but then it
(20:05):
got a little squirrely at the end, when all of
a sudden, you know, after a distraction in the wine
cellar tour, it was like, all right, it's time to go.
We'll get back to you about the dinner we want
to have. And they ran out the door, and Christiano
went back to the wine cell and he saw screw taps,
screwtop bottles where the great wine should have been, and
(20:26):
they all went running out after him. The one of
the real heroes was a customer who then unfortunately jumped
in his Porsche, ran down and tried to block the
car and got crashed into his car, got towed away.
His wife is very upset, and they got the gal
(20:47):
who had away, who said she was kidnapped and she
was forced to do this. Yeah, from New Jersey, but
she's really from the UK. She's supposed to live in Winchester,
but she had no ID. She's held without bond. He
took off without her. Christian jumped in the car, tried
(21:09):
to put the handbrake on and got thrown out of
the car. As they sped away. The police, the fire department,
the state police all showed up really much so on time.
Christian had a picture of the license plate. That's why
they knew it was a rental out of New Jersey,
which was a stolen rental. Wow to New Jersey. And
(21:30):
this happens or has been happening, not necessarily these two people,
but throughout the country, throughout the world. They're targeting these
special wines. And you say, well, how did they know?
If you go online to le Bear's Problem solve dot com,
they have their wine list and you know, so I
guess they did their Obviously, they did their research, they
(21:54):
did their plan. They've gotten away with this before. And
then the bottles have a serial number, but they also
have a chip in them. I mean, is this how
specially ball?
Speaker 7 (22:04):
My god?
Speaker 8 (22:05):
So they get they get like a GPS chip or
it's called a riffsche I forget what it's called. It's
like the chip they put in stuff at the store
so they know if you steal it. Yeah, right, but
they have a chip that you can trace. The problem
is it goes on the black market, it goes on
the ground. It might be a rusher by now yeah,
I mean, or I shouldn't. I'm not trying to say
bad things about Russia.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
No, No, I.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Understand what you're just using as it could be in Tokyo. Yeah,
it could be anywhere around the world. Hey, So a
couple of questions for you. Number one, the dude who
crashed his Porsche just out of the goodness of his heart,
was trying to stop the getaway car and pulled in
front of the getaway car and that smashed up his Porsche.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Well not only that, but it was on three forty
and it got hit not by the not only by
the bad guy, but by an ongoing car that was
passing by. So yeah, yeah, it got pretty and it
was a very nice one and its pretty well messed up.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
So I was.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Unsputted so really cool that the employees and Christian, who's
the Samonnie celest Done Mike, you know, went running after
these people and tried to you know, jump on them,
and uh, the customer got involved, and unfortunately his car
got the story.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Hey did you say, did you say that Christian got
into the car with the bad guy but then ended
up getting thrown out of the car.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Absolutely, he was drug down the road.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Oh no, yes, dude, yes, you know, and uh, yeah,
I mean he did his best. Uh, it's kind of scary.
He realized he was halfway out of the car and
half way in the car, trying to take the keys down,
trying to put the handbrake on, and uh, the guy
(23:54):
was speeding off, crashing into cars and stuff, and then
he got thrown out of the car. He he didn't
get hurt. Nobody got hurt other than you know, the
wine's gone. It was a crazy event. The poor guy,
the wonderful customer's car got the story, and the bad
guy left his accomplice, the one that seems Yeah, the
(24:14):
chick is in jail right, left her behind and her
stories don't match. You know, she was kidnapped, she was
picked up on the side she was hitch hiking on
a forty She was met him on a cruise ship
in New Jersey. I mean she changed her story more
(24:35):
than you steal on the TV shows. Right.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Hey, So a couple of a couple of last things
number one, whether it's celestor Christian, who do they feel
Do they feel what I don't know the right word.
Do they feel like stupid that they got duped?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Well, I mean here it is okay they did.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I would just sit there and I'd kick myself in
the ass, going like, oh how did I fall for that?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
They give tours alone?
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Well, I think Christian feels that way. You know, the
wine cellar is locked down in the basement. It's locked.
They do do wine tours. Uh. These guys were pretty sophisticated,
presenting themselves as having this big party and wanted to
look at the wine cellar. They do do pride. You know,
they let you go downstairs and look at the lines. Right,
(25:26):
and he got he got a little bit duped. Uh.
She kept them busy and the guy was around there
throwing stuff in this jacket that was already set up
to steal wine. They've had it, done it before, right,
I say, that's time you just pull out out of
you know, and yeah, yeah they got they got duped,
(25:47):
but it's always locked. It has cameras. They were all
on camera and stuff.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Well, they're pretty open about their wine collection as well.
You know, when people come in and they're knowledgeable about
the wines, you Celestein and Kreshan like to show off
those ones because they're kind of a centerpiece of labears.
I mean, they're like special and so yeah, sure, not
something that they're trying to keep tucked away and hidden necessarily.
So you know, when you find somebody that's knowledgeable in
(26:15):
these wines and can have a conversation with the somalier
like Krishan, I mean, it's natural to want to kind
of show these people the wine.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, no, I get that. I get that.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Like if, for example, if the Elliott the Morning Show,
when he wouldn't even have to talk to us, none
of them, what are we going to know?
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Well, listen, so if you don't show it, you don't
sell it, right.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Oh that's a good point. That's a good point. All right,
Well listen well and go ahead.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
And there are people out there to buy it. So uh,
I don't think it was unusual other than how it
played out, because you know, after forty some years, this
is the first time that ever happened. But doing the research,
this has been happening at very nice establishments throughout throughout
the world. So it's a it's like a group of
bad people.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Well, tell Celestin, tell Christian, I'm glad he's okay.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Yeah, And and then and the customer is fine too,
just as car.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Just that card boy. I'm really I'm with you on that.
All right, very good?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Hey, hold tight, one second, Hold on one second, Hey, Kristen,
see if Celestie and Christian want to bring food in
one morning.
Did the place. I'm gonna mess up the name.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I can't say in the name of it, you don't
pronounce the l right, was it Auber's pro Pro?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Say it?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Is it Lober's Proven Sol that's it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, didn't that come up?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
It sounds very familiar.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Didn't Mike Jones say he went there?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Is that how we talked about it?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Say it again?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Laberge Mark laberge Y is Laber's Proven Saul.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
That's what I'm thinking. It was that one in Great Fall.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, No, I'm telling you, I feel like Mike Jones
went to the one because didn't he go with Carrie's parents?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Remember a lot more? Yeah, I recall of this story.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I feel like I'm obsessed with him.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
No, because didn't he say he didn't pay.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh it was on them. Yeah, I don't think. Maybe
I have it wrong. Laber's proven saul am I saying

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Wait, so they made you put a jacket on?
Speaker 8 (10:20):

They everybody in there was wearing ties, jackets, everything like that.
We walked in and we were like, oh, like, I
had a button up shirt on.
Speaker 8 (10:29):
But I just kind of kept my black jacket on just.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
So everyone didn't see that was not ironed or whatever.
But it was. It was. It was real good. It was.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
It's quite expensive, but we weren't, like I said, we
weren't paying, so we were happy to be there.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Hey two things.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Number one, were you the only one with a Copenhagen
ring in your jeans?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
No?
Speaker 9 (10:50):
But I was the only one secretly hitting my vape
at the table.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
It's nice, like Captain Crunch, Hey, what what did you order? No?
Speaker 1 (11:01):
He said, he went to it.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah, we got the truffle dinner.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
So, I mean it was five courses, all had something
to do with either Allian truffle or Hungarian truffle. Like
they rattled off everything when they brought the steps to
the table so quick that you really didn't have any
idea what you were eating.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
But it was really, really good.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Did you have any wine with the dinner?
Speaker 7 (11:28):
We didn't. We uh, we don't drink, but uh, but
everybody else was. They had.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
There was this cass after cass coming out from the back.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
It looks like they make most of their money on
the wine. I would think, I.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Don't know, so you don't know if anybody had a
bottle of domain dayla romani contea do I that's a
that's a that's a wine dying. We call it the
U d r C the do domain dela romaney conte.

heard that one being thrown around the dining room.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
But all right, very good, thank you sir.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yes, I see the dinner. He was at Black and
White and owe to truffles, seating between five and eight
thirty pm. How much per head you really want to know?
Speaker 8 (12:21):

that's before taxes, gratuity and drinks. Well, they say truffles
are expensive, right, Hey, can I get mine without that
flaky stuff on it?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Three hundred dollars a person.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And that's without the domain de la romani conti?
Speaker 8 (12:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Can I go to line one?
Speaker 7 (12:48):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (12:49):

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Do you answer any questions about labayars?
Speaker 8 (12:55):

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I'm sorry, what was the what was his name?
Speaker 8 (13:06):
Chris?
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Like Christians?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Oh? Finnegan?
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Wait, can I can I ask? Can I can I
ask a real question? Like, his name's Christian, right.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
It's pronoun. That's the best I can give you.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Okay, my name is now Elu.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
And it sounds like you're about to piss him off.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, oh no, Yeah, but isn't isn't isn't krish also
the sol.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
He's the world famous somalier. I don't know if you
guys are familiar, but they were just robbed for a
couple of wines that thank you, thank you, that world
renowned wines.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
So that's the whole reason I brought it up. But
did you did you see how they ended up getting robbed?
Speaker 5 (13:55):
I believe it was people that came from overseas, I
think Europe and uh they came into the restaurant and
sat down and posed as famous wine connoisseurs and Krishawn
had taken them on a tour of the cellar and
then they they stole the Conti bottles and tried to
replace them with replicas.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
So here's what I was reading.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Hey, do you know, like, do you have a way
to get in touch with Celeste or Kishon?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I actually know Celeste's brother very well. I grew up
with that family. They have worked in that restaurant, for
many decades, so I could definitely put you in touch
with the brother.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, heye, see if you can get them, I'd love
to talk to them real quick. Hey, hold on one second, Okay,
just I'm minn all. Hold on one second, Hold on
one second.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
They had decoy bottles.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
No, so are you ready for this?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So that's how this whole story comes up, right that
in my believing that Mike Jones has has been there.
So Labert's pro Von sal the Fine Dining Destination reports
that thieves stole several bottles.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Of a very rare wine from their cellar.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
The suspects in the case wore wigs imposed as event planners.
They claimed they were planning a high end event and
requested a tour of the restaurant and its wine cellar. Now,
the owner, Celeste, says, we've been collecting wine for decades
and we're very proud of it. We love showing people
(15:35):
our wine cellar. It's one of the most special parts
of who we are. Once inside the cellar, the suspects
replaced genuine bottles of Domain de la Romanique Conti with
counterfeit screwcap bottles. Those DRC the main whatever are so
(16:02):
exclusive that even the most prestigious restaurants must be invited
to purchase them.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's not just about money, said Creston.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
To acquire a bottle like that, you have to have
built a relationship over the years. These bottles were the
crown jewels of our cellar Damn. When the suspects abruptly departed,
Labert says staff quickly realized the bottles were missing. Employees
(16:39):
and an on site guest chased the pair towards their
getaway car, which was a New Jersey rental parked out
of view. One staff member narrowly avoided injury as the
male suspects sped off. However, they were able to detain
the female suspect. She's now being held without bond pending
(17:05):
a court date. The male remains at large. How about that?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
And where are the bottles?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Oh? I think they said of the bottles, hold on?
I think they said they recovered.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Two bottles, a grand shue Zoo and an sue.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I can't pronounce it.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Two DRC bottles, a grand es Chazoo and a I
guess normal es Chazoo were recovered, but several remain missing.
Each bottle has a unique serial number, which may help
law enforcement trace them. However, Labert says DRC wine are
(18:00):
known to circulate through the black market.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Wow, what story.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And also in my mind links that they went to
with the wigs and the face bottles.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yes, where am I going? Line one hill?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Then this is Jonathan Silvester. I have mister Patterson on
the line. Mister Patterson is actually the last brother. He
was married at at Labar's and he probably has a
lot more information on La Bears than anybody else.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
He could talk to you.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I'll hold for him if you want to put him through. Oh,
there he is. I got him now in the car bonjour.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
How are you.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Hey, I'm doing well, dude. I was reading about this.
I don't know. I don't the wine caper or the
wine heist, dude, that's no joke.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
The wine heist of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Five, the and listen, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Like even they said, I don't know how much those
bottles of wine are worth, but that's amazing.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
The ones menicing over forty grand per bottle, no total total?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Oh thank god, still.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Wine. The biggest problem is you can't replace them, right,
there's only so many out there, and you know, they
got them years ago at a really nice price. Granted,
but you can't buy them like I want to go
online or if I go to a wine wholesale or
(19:42):
district international distributor, they're not available. You can't buy them
at any price. So the fact that you say they
worth forty grand, they could be worth more if somebody
wants wants the bottle and nobody else has it. So
they knew what they were doing. They came in, they
were very, very deceptive. They presented themselves, but then it
(20:05):
got a little squirrely at the end, when all of
a sudden, you know, after a distraction in the wine
cellar tour, it was like, all right, it's time to go.
We'll get back to you about the dinner we want
to have. And they ran out the door, and Christiano
went back to the wine cell and he saw screw taps,
screwtop bottles where the great wine should have been, and
(20:26):
they all went running out after him. The one of
the real heroes was a customer who then unfortunately jumped
in his Porsche, ran down and tried to block the
car and got crashed into his car, got towed away.
His wife is very upset, and they got the gal
(20:47):
who had away, who said she was kidnapped and she
was forced to do this. Yeah, from New Jersey, but
she's really from the UK. She's supposed to live in Winchester,
but she had no ID. She's held without bond. He
took off without her. Christian jumped in the car, tried
(21:09):
to put the handbrake on and got thrown out of
the car. As they sped away. The police, the fire department,
the state police all showed up really much so on time.
Christian had a picture of the license plate. That's why
they knew it was a rental out of New Jersey,
which was a stolen rental. Wow to New Jersey. And
(21:30):
this happens or has been happening, not necessarily these two people,
but throughout the country, throughout the world. They're targeting these
special wines. And you say, well, how did they know?
If you go online to le Bear's Problem solve dot com,
they have their wine list and you know, so I
guess they did their Obviously, they did their research, they
(21:54):
did their plan. They've gotten away with this before. And
then the bottles have a serial number, but they also
have a chip in them. I mean, is this how
specially ball?
Speaker 7 (22:04):
My god?
Speaker 8 (22:05):
So they get they get like a GPS chip or
it's called a riffsche I forget what it's called. It's
like the chip they put in stuff at the store
so they know if you steal it. Yeah, right, but
they have a chip that you can trace. The problem
is it goes on the black market, it goes on
the ground. It might be a rusher by now yeah,
I mean, or I shouldn't. I'm not trying to say
bad things about Russia.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
No, No, I.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Understand what you're just using as it could be in Tokyo. Yeah,
it could be anywhere around the world. Hey, So a
couple of questions for you. Number one, the dude who
crashed his Porsche just out of the goodness of his heart,
was trying to stop the getaway car and pulled in
front of the getaway car and that smashed up his Porsche.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Well not only that, but it was on three forty
and it got hit not by the not only by
the bad guy, but by an ongoing car that was
passing by. So yeah, yeah, it got pretty and it
was a very nice one and its pretty well messed up.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
So I was.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Unsputted so really cool that the employees and Christian, who's
the Samonnie celest Done Mike, you know, went running after
these people and tried to you know, jump on them,
and uh, the customer got involved, and unfortunately his car
got the story.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Hey did you say, did you say that Christian got
into the car with the bad guy but then ended
up getting thrown out of the car.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Absolutely, he was drug down the road.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Oh no, yes, dude, yes, you know, and uh, yeah,
I mean he did his best. Uh, it's kind of scary.
He realized he was halfway out of the car and
half way in the car, trying to take the keys down,
trying to put the handbrake on, and uh, the guy
(23:54):
was speeding off, crashing into cars and stuff, and then
he got thrown out of the car. He he didn't
get hurt. Nobody got hurt other than you know, the
wine's gone. It was a crazy event. The poor guy,
the wonderful customer's car got the story, and the bad
guy left his accomplice, the one that seems Yeah, the
(24:14):
chick is in jail right, left her behind and her
stories don't match. You know, she was kidnapped, she was
picked up on the side she was hitch hiking on
a forty She was met him on a cruise ship
in New Jersey. I mean she changed her story more
(24:35):
than you steal on the TV shows. Right.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Hey, So a couple of a couple of last things
number one, whether it's celestor Christian, who do they feel
Do they feel what I don't know the right word.
Do they feel like stupid that they got duped?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Well, I mean here it is okay they did.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I would just sit there and I'd kick myself in
the ass, going like, oh how did I fall for that?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
They give tours alone?
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Well, I think Christian feels that way. You know, the
wine cellar is locked down in the basement. It's locked.
They do do wine tours. Uh. These guys were pretty sophisticated,
presenting themselves as having this big party and wanted to
look at the wine cellar. They do do pride. You know,
they let you go downstairs and look at the lines. Right,
(25:26):
and he got he got a little bit duped. Uh.
She kept them busy and the guy was around there
throwing stuff in this jacket that was already set up
to steal wine. They've had it, done it before, right,
I say, that's time you just pull out out of
you know, and yeah, yeah they got they got duped,
(25:47):
but it's always locked. It has cameras. They were all
on camera and stuff.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Well, they're pretty open about their wine collection as well.
You know, when people come in and they're knowledgeable about
the wines, you Celestein and Kreshan like to show off
those ones because they're kind of a centerpiece of labears.
I mean, they're like special and so yeah, sure, not
something that they're trying to keep tucked away and hidden necessarily.
So you know, when you find somebody that's knowledgeable in
(26:15):
these wines and can have a conversation with the somalier
like Krishan, I mean, it's natural to want to kind
of show these people the wine.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, no, I get that. I get that.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Like if, for example, if the Elliott the Morning Show,
when he wouldn't even have to talk to us, none
of them, what are we going to know?
Speaker 8 (26:34):
Well, listen, so if you don't show it, you don't
sell it, right.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Oh that's a good point. That's a good point. All right,
Well listen well and go ahead.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
And there are people out there to buy it. So uh,
I don't think it was unusual other than how it
played out, because you know, after forty some years, this
is the first time that ever happened. But doing the research,
this has been happening at very nice establishments throughout throughout
the world. So it's a it's like a group of
bad people.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Well, tell Celestin, tell Christian, I'm glad he's okay.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
Yeah, And and then and the customer is fine too,
just as car.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Just that card boy. I'm really I'm with you on that.
All right, very good?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Hey, hold tight, one second, Hold on one second, Hey, Kristen,
see if Celestie and Christian want to bring food in
one morning.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
