S/O's 40th is coming up in a couple of months, and I have been tossing around the idea of purchasing a wine of her vintage.
We have both become enamored with wine over the last couple of years. I feel that our wine knowledge has really increased as well and that this wouldn't be a wasted experience.
We occasionally have small tasting at the house with a good core group of friends. It has been a fun journey! Don, I blame you.
We couldn't have done it without you!
I assume the big box stores are most likely not the most ideal for this type of search. We have a few specialty shops in Houston that could possibly source a bottle? I assume it's just a hope and a prayer that the bottle was stored properly? If finding an old red is too cost prohibitive (pretty good budget - but not a DRC budget) would it be a good idea to perhaps try and find two 20 year olds - maybe a white and a red?
We do have our preferences, but I have a feeling that beggars can't be choosers.
Thanks guys.
