| $1000 to spend | Login/Join |

Suppose you won $1000 on a scratch off ticket, all your bills were paid, and you wanted to spend it on wine. Would you buy 1-6 great bottles, or stock up the cellar with more 'value wines'? A wise man once told me, "You never learn anything with your mouth running.." | ||

A case or two of Gigondas and a couple of "special" bottles. | |||

A lot of $30-$60 bottles and maybe a bottle or two that was/were $100. Italy, Greece, Spain, Western Australia, South Africa and Washington would be where the money was spent. | |||

I would buy a mixed case of Cedric Bouchard Champagne. I need to restock. -------------------- "One may dislike carrots, spinach, beetroot, or the skin on hot milk. But not wine. It is like hating the air that one breathes, since each is equally indispensable." Marcel Ayme` | |||

Easy for me, one bottle. I'm also at that stage in general. I much prefer one stellar bottle than a few good bottles when enjoying wine as well. | |||

Thanks for all of the input. To come clean, last week I did have a 'scratch off' type situation happen, only in a football pool. I have my eye on 3 bottles of '98 Krug that will eat up about half the winnings, and the other half goes to my wife to spend on shoes (happy wife, happy life). We consider it 'found money' so we are having fun instead of being responsible. A wise man once told me, "You never learn anything with your mouth running.." | |||

Congrats on the winnings. And very good call on the split.  | |||

Only $1000?  I priced out a case of 2010 Chablis, Without any Raveneau, and a pair of CdP 6-packs of 2010 Pegau and VT, and I'm already over the limit. What a bummer. Need to buy another ticket.  Stay thirsty my friends. | |||

The 1998 Krug Clos du Mesnil. Just to see how a $1000 champagne really tastes. | |||

+3, but what bottle? I'd be looking for an '89 Haut Brion.This message has been edited. Last edited by: DBG, __________________ David G | |||

Take the girlfriend out, open a split of good Champagne, lick it off her body. With whatever's left, buy a nice CdR to share with your wife. Everyone ends up happy. "The best part is how he said the ENGLISH language. Fine irony. Use American next time." | |||

I'd go for 1990 Montrose, or maybe 1978 Rayas. ________________________ If you're young and conservative, you have no heart. If you're old and liberal, you have no brain. Apostrophes don't make things plural. | |||
