Wine for a Fancy Dinner
Posted: Tue Oct 31, 2006 10:11 am
A fancy dinner is being held as part of the AWS national conference next week in Baltimore. Ten of us who will be attending from our local chapter will have a table at the dinner, and each has been asked to bring a couple of bottles of wine.
Under instructions from my wife Nancy not to "cheap out", I'm willing to relax my $15 upper limit for a bottle of wine rule. The problem is that the over - $15 world is pretty much terra icognita to me. So I could use some help. If you were to spend, say, a total of $50 on one bottle of red and one of white what would you get? Of course, if you can suggest a couple of real knockouts for something less than that it would make me very happy indeed.
