The wine list for the state dinner this week with British Prime Minister David Cameron isn't exactly classified, but nobody's talkin' about it.

The wine list for the dinner isn’t exactly classified, but nobody’s talkin’ about it. Seems the tradition of publishing the wine list ended a year or so ago, when a bottle of cabernet at a dinner for Chinese president Hu Jintao retailed for $399.
