I always read "drink between now and .."

Hi Monty-Rick and welcome to the board. I'll Condense this answer and incorperate to include you're posting above.Most of the 10 to 20 buck 99 cabs are not going to improve appreciably. They are very supple, approachable wines that should be drunk over the next 3-5 years. Going for the wines for your daughters special day, For the 98, you'll have to go with a substantial wine like the 98 Joseph Phelps Insignia. Or as good but probably a harder find is the Viader. It's a lil' more than your budget but 98 was basically a spotty year with very few great bottlings in France or the USofA. I'd suggest either a 2000 Lynch-Bages or Leaville Las Cases for that daughter. They'll both go the distance. On the 96, if you can find it at the price try the Caymus Napa Eatate. Your storage sounds fine so hope you can put these back. I too have 4 daughters and have to lock my cellar door when any one of them inhalers hit the front door. Good Luck. WW
