I have a friend who is turning 21 soon and I'd like to serve a 1984 vintage wine for her birthday dinner. Being that 1984 was an awful vintage for Bordeaux (Although $130 for an 84 Margaux was a bit tempting), I've concentrated on California. I would be open to other regions, but the availability of 84 wines is pretty limited. Some names caught my eye, Dominus, Silver Oak, and Montelena. Any suggestions on these or others, sub-$150? And how high is the risk of buying wines of this age from well-known retailers?
Thanks, Andrew
