Well, I was thinking about either gifting it back , or reselling it. For that,
I need some advices on the quality of this wine. Year on the bottle is 1999 ( I
have 3), and 2000 ( I have 3)

Is it worth maybe keeping is a investment?

They are all Cabernet Sauvignon.

Thanks for your help

"1999 Grgich Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley - This year was perfect for
Cabernet. Made from perfectly mature grapes, this has deep blackberry
and chocolate flavors with soft tannins. There are not many other wines
I'd buy for this price. - $50"

If its retail it is probably about $10-15 (very roughly) more than you
would get for it from a wine buyer. Also the article is over 1 year old,
so the price may be higher now.

I'm not sure about 2000 for the Napa Valley, so can't even guestimate a
figure. I am very sure there are others here who will be able to fill
you in much better than I ever could.



As for not liking wine you will almost certainly find if you keep trying
wine, especially with well judged food matches, you will find something
you really like.

A lot of ppl make the mistake of judging all wine on a small sample,
which is like saying you don't like food because you don't like
grapefruit, apple, banana and brocolli. Also, a lot of ppl buy cheap
nasty wine and judge all wine on low end trash.

Personally, Grgich Hills is one of my favorite Cabernet's.... I think it has
more to do with Mike Grgich (English spelling) and his fantastic,
down-to-earth personality than necessarily the quality of the wine, although
they do get decent to very good scores. You never seem them blow away, but
rarely will you find it below average either.... in short, consistent.

Anyway, both are good years but the 99 is probably a tad better in my
opinion. I don't think that you will find that they are going to be great
investment opportunities for the reasons mentioned above. Typical retail is
going to be around $50-60 US.

If you are looking for someone to re-gift them to.... drop me a note

Well, regifting them was may be directed at close relative, but if you
want them, I am Ok to sell them to you.

The 1999 can go for 65$ and the 2000 for 45$.
So 3 x 65 = 195
3 x 45 = 135
Total $ 330. Add shipping to that and they are yours.
let me know.
