the wine list

We have an appointment in a few weeks to have a food tasting at the hotel. We also have to choose one champagne, one red, and one white to serve the guests. Here's the list. Pipe in if you've tried any of them. If we try any of them, we'll post our thoughts. I've italicized the ones that are so excessively pricey that it's cheaper to pay for an open bar. Maybe I should go to the store and have a few wine tastings. Drink up!
