Summer Shipping Question

[dananne]

Well, with the wife's birthday not until Feb., my brain simply went to sleep and I forgot to pay first and ship later, as suggested by WW. Now, the b'day wine in question, a Faustino 1970 Gran Reserva, is off the shelves at our friend Roberto's shop. Urg!!!

After talking with the knowledgeable and helpful Taylor out there (why are my local wine shops so lacking in quality help???), my options appear limited to the '70 Ducru, the '70 Fonseca, and the '70 Fladgate. Or, I may be able to skip the b'day year thing and get her the '64 Faustino Gran Reserva. Anyone have any input? All are at roughly the same price point. Thanks in advance for your advice.
