Nice,

GregT's suggestions are really good I think. The Bordeaux idea is excellent, although I'm not sure you're palate would agree. Many of the 92-93 pointers would be great to track for the next ten years I think. And, would leave you with $$$ so spare.

Since when did $3.5 Benjamins become not much money. You can bank roll more than three "quality red wines" for that kind of bank. Don't think you have to spend a lot to get great wine. It's easy (easier) to find a great bottle of wine if you have more than $100 to spend, but the fun part of wine is finding bottles just as good for 1/3 or 1/2 that price. Happy hunting. Smile

Shafer makes a lot of great reds, both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Always a great value, and not too hard to track down. Additionally, they are good right off the shelf, and could keep 7-10 years.
