Hi Nicolem and welcome to the board and congrats! In the 5 year range of California wines you should have a wide range of choices as long as you stick with the 1997 vintage, which was outstanding.The best in the 25-30 range are Jos Phelps " Napa ",Sterling " Diamond mountain Ranch ",Silverado " Napa "Mondavi " Napa ",Geyser Peak " Reserve ". For the 10-15 year wines at the 30-50 level you again have a lot of choices.Lewelling " Wight Vineyard ", Liparita " Spring Mountain ",Wightman " Tri-Leopard Vineyard ", Arrowood " Estate ",Beaulieu " Tapestry " Franus " Napa ", Burgess " Vintage Selection ",Beringer " Alluvium ",Heitz " Napa ",Cafaro " Napa ", Clos Pegase " Napa ", and lots more. Your best bet is to check online with a reputable dealer like Pops' Wines.Port or Ice-Wines are the best bets for the over 20. AND TAKE THE ADVICE OF CATCH22, WITHOUT PROPER STORAGE put the money in stocks. WW
