Wine
quick and easy, i'm 20 years old and am invited to dinner at my buddy's girlfriend's. Her and her roomate are cooking. It'll be me, them, and the roomate who she wants to hook me up with.
Dinner is pasta w/ pesto, and an unknown dessert, i said i'd bring the wine, any suggestions on a bottle? I'm not terribly concerned about price, but i'll look like just as much of a douche if show up with a hundred dollar bottle as if i show up with franzia. (it's tomorrow and i'm in nyc if that helps)

Re: Wine
I really like Rombauer Merlot, you will find some 2002 around for about $30.

Re: Wine
There are some in the 20s.
And he's not entirely wrong. Marketing, buzz and reputation really inflate prices for certain wines. For example: Plumpjack Reserve Cab Sauv Oakville 2002 - $160 Garguilo Vineyards Money Road Ranch Cab Sauv Oakville 2002 - $55

He made two statements of fact: "You should never really have to pay $30 for a good bottle of wine." and "You can easily get for $15 what you'll get for $30. " Both are false and show the poster knows [censored] all about wine.

Re: Wine
Are you illiterate? Point me to where I said you could get a good Bordeaux for $15.
