Quotes from Opus Two:

quote:

I ve been marryied 4 times, divorced even more, I know what I speak of.

quote:

Go with cubic zirconium and Spumante Asti, son. Trust me, they can't tell the difference.

quote:

You ever been married, sfirare? I have, so please, don't lecture me about class

Your too much Opus...

zftcg,
If your inclination is not to skimp...go with the Dom...however, one could make a case for a Rose...in that case, go for the Billecart Salmon NV Rose.

Advise from a guy who has been married (to the same woman) for 27 years...and counting!

Good Luck!

new at premier cru:

Billecart Salmon Rose Magnum  $119.95

equals $60/750ml but better

is it too late?

if yes, how did it go?

Those are on pre-arrival, sfiorare. He'd have to propose next year!

I also would like to hear the end of this story.

ok

Thanks to all who replied. We just got back from our vacation, and I wanted to give you all an update.

First of all, regarding the wine, I ended up going with the St. Hilaire. I appreciated all the other suggestions, but the situation was that the hotel only had the two options, and there was no way for me to deliver a bottle ahead of time. If I had had a choice, I would have gotten a Prosecco, which she loves. But other than that, she's not a big wine lover, and I realized she would be just as happy with the St. Hilaire. And she was. We both actually enjoyed it very much.

And oh yeah, she said yes!

So thanks to all for the advice (wine-related and otherwise).

She likes prosecco? Hey, that's a good sign that you got a good one! Prosecco is delicious and affordable and Italian!

Congradulations on the engagement!

Three that I like that don't break the bank are:
1) Lanson Black Label-light almond flavor(no sweetness)yum.
2)Deutz - lemon lime thirst quenching refreshment
3)Lauren-Perrier's Grand Siecle. I had this last year for my birthday and my guests went nuts over it and it is under $70 per bottle.

Congrats, zftcg! Many years of happiness!

Aahhhh.....many years of joy!!! (And really, really good wine! )

Try a 1996 Champagne Jean Laurent Blanc de Noirs Brut if you can find one. Serious Champagne from an underrated grower-producer.
