My daughter and her boyfreind are taking me out for a steak dinner tonight to celebrate an early Birthday for me (23rd of this month), since she got paid recently !

WooHooo !!

I haven`t had a good steak since my stroke, and haven`t had a good wine for twice as long !!

Any info on a good wine would be a great help.

Let`s keep it at 85 bucks though !!

    Good for you Robert. I enjoy a nice filet, baked potato, salad and no wine for me. Have a good evening with your family!

    Sounds good - I'm a steak fanatic myself. I don't know 'GOOD' wine...I'm a Chardonay or Shiraz fan myself. I usually don't buy wine unless it's under 10 bucks :)

    Enjoy the family outing!

    Bone in Rib eye for me with a nice Borolo of coarse. Pio cesare is one of my favs but at a restaurant will run $120-$140 smackers. Wine stores may have it for 45-60 bucks then the eatery may charge a corking fee. Years to look for 2001,2003,2004 2005. This is a big bold wine that just says f@%K you,I'm an Italian wine.
