$50 in my pocket...... which wine should I buy?

Hi Tequila,

Welcome to the board. For that price range you cannot beat a 1999 Joseph Phelps Cabernet. I just found some for $34 here in NYC, though retail is around $40. Very fruit forward and drinking very well now, but will keep for several years if you're so inclined.

FWIW, Wine Spectator ranks it a 92. But having drunk it myself, I'll say it's simply a real lip-smacker that'll put a big smile on your face and whomever you're with. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
