<p>SBMom - Heitz is our “Anniversary” wine. Heitz Martha’s Vineyard, especially. If we’re dining out that evening, we’re pretty much price insensitive if we can get it. ;)</p>
<p>SBMom - Chateau Lynch Bages = one of my favs! Will you be serving this at your party? If so, I’m applying :-)</p>
<p>Concha y Toro 2000 Don Melchor Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
$39</p>
<p>I love all of your inexpensive recommendations.</p>
<p>sbmom, jmmom, and others–
GREAT recommendations for GREAT wines… on an expense account! How much is a Lynch Bages or a Heitz Martha’s vineyard, from a good vintage, going for these days??
If you guys are going for the great stuff, the party attendees will have to submit CSS and FAFSA forms so their EFC for the wines can be calculated :)</p>
<p>One very inexpensive (relatively speaking) but very wonderful wine-- SBmom, since you lived in France maybe you’ve had it… The 1989 and 1990 Ch. Olivier (Bordeaux) were rated 96 and 98 by Wine Spectator when they were released, and they sold for… $19.99!!! I have a case and a half of the 89 and a few bottles of the '90 in the cellar.</p>
