Wine choice

[Kcwhippet]

Well, you really can't go wrong with those choices, as long as you get a very good example of either. For Chardonnay, there are many choices, such as Miner Family, Shafer, Patz & Hall and many others. If Merlot, maybe an Arrowood or perhaps the 1999 Grgich Hills Merlot. This is the first Merlot GH has ever bottled. The fruit comes from a well sited vineyard in the Carneros. It costs $38 and is hard to get because they only made about 500 cases. I've had it and it's about the best Merlot I've tasted in years.
