I've been out of work for over a year now. After obsessively going over DW's and my finances, I think I've come to the point where I feel pretty confident in not needing to find work again. I guess I can consider myself a part of the class of 2018.
In fact, I'm feeling so confident, that I'm thinking of buying a bottle of wine to celebrate - a wine that I wouldn't normally buy (because I'm a cheapskate). I don't usually buy wine that's over $10/bottle. But I remember back in 1999-2000, I had the opportunity to drink a 1998 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet at a work-related celebration (I think it was at least $100/bottle) and I thought it was outstanding. I remember it to this day. Granted, I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I can tell the difference between a Silver Oak and a Yellow Tail.
All that said, can anyone recommend an exceptional red wine for a special occasion? I lean towards Cabernets but it can be anything from any country. It just has to be red (not a big white wine drinker). It'll probably be consumed with an equally exceptional dinner of lamb, steak, or veal made by DW. Thanks.
