[QUOTE="witzend, post: 549099, member: 99"] Go to a grocer or a wine store with a Sommelier. Get a good $30 - $40 bottle of wine and a nice wine box from a craft store. Often with good wines you can either get the Sommelier to give you a print out regarding the wine and any awards it might have won, or get one online from the winery. Wine is marked up about 600% in a restaurant, so if you get a $30 - $40 bottle you can count on it being sold for about $200 - $240 in a nice restaurant. Look at an online menu or stop into a Ruths Chris Steakhouse or something similar to get ideas. I bet if you called the wine steward at one of those restaurants and asked for several recommendations of $100 - $150 bottle off their menu, they could give you some good ideas. Or, just get the $40 bottle of Moet Chandon and call it good. Everyone who drinks wine knows what that is. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
