So this year, many wineries are switching to screw tops--the same technology you find when opening a Colt 45. California's Bonny Doon, whose $130 Cabernet opens with a flick of the wrist, threw a funeral for the cork in New York City in October.

...Rings, always with Walsh at his side. Though they have never married, they share two children (Kate, 6, and Billy, 7) and a rambling old house overlooking the bay in Wellington.

Swiss horologists Omega brought out 10,007 of the $1,900 James Bond 007 to coincide with the latest Bond flick. And Zenith reintroduced their Grande Class Star line, making only 500, at $13,492 apiece. Rarer still is the $420,000 Genghis Khan by Ulysse Nardin: only 30 have ever been made. But don't get your hopes up - just four are produced every year, and there's a four-year...
