Got a hundred bucks burning a hole in my pocket. Any suggestions?

If you like Tuscan wines I can suggest Luianico Rosso Toscana, 2003, 100% Sangiovese, 12.5% alcohol, ruby-red color, dry but fruity, medium bodied and so good I could easily drink an entire bottle myself. Great with any Italian foods or roasted meats. I paid about $10, but it tastes like a more expensive Chianti to me.
Buy ten bottles.

Buy heating oil. You'll be able to afford wine this winter. Heating oil you won't.

That is a tough question for us to answer because you're not giving us any hints as to what kind of wine you like to drink.
Can you help us narrow down the field a little bit? I would hate to suggest a few beautiful White Burgundy's if you are a red wine drinker...or reverse!

Ah yes i did forget that in my post. I prefer my red wines except for the occasional wine with the girl where it must taste like candy. Then I opt for some sort of Riesling. Usually I drink Pinot Noir, Cab, Zin, Bordeau, Petite Sirah ... Hope that helps to narrow it down a bit.

How about a nice bottle of Port?

Or you could order Merry Edwards Pinot Noir from the winery or 2002 Chateau Angelus (a nice St. Emilion) from www.wine-searcher.com. There are so many ways to go. One bottle costing nearly $100 such as the Chateau Angelus or three or four bottles of a less expensive but very well made wine. It also depends on what's available to you locally and your state laws about receiving wine shipments from the winery.
