I like the idea of buying a case of amazing Champagne. Taittinger Comtes BdB or Chetillons.

43

Niece to babysit 3/4 day weekend: $750. Lodging in Napa/Sonoma: $750. Two tickets to SF: 50-100K miles. Long weekend wine tasting with my wife: Priceless. Kids getting to hang out with cool niece for long weekend: Priceless for them. In fact, come to think of this, screw the inheritance, I’m planning this anyway.

Determine the birth year of the relative who gave the gift and seek out a Monfortino or Giacosa from that year.

How much time would this buy with Savannah Sampson at her, ahem, winery? :wink:

47

Enough for two visits for Tex…

48

Not my style. I like them to have huge asses and be Afro-decendent.

2008 Krug Clos de Mesnil when it’s released. Wedding year wine to open many years down the road.

Or sheep.

I’d pickup a bottle of 05 DRC La Tache

52

Those are 2005 prices…

53

Given current prices, I may afford a case of declassified Bourgogne Rouge from a star producer?..

54

Bern’s!

55

I’d use it to buy David Bueker some Sociando Mallet.

Easy. My birth year is 1961. Whatever Bordeaux I could get for the entire $1500.

58

Good idea, that’s my year as well.

I’d make a downpayment for a birth year (1963) Quinto do Noval Nacional, I think.
