Whine whine wine!

[Bernaise]

As people in this forum have always so generously helped me in the past..I thought I'd ask again!

I work for a charitable organization and recently a donor gave us three bottles of wine to use as prizes for a Holiday Auction.

I don't know what value the wine has and I have tried the local liquor control board (we are in Ontario-Canada) but they only have more recent vintages.

To further complicate matters...people are asking for food pairing reccommendations...as these wines are a bit better than your average plonk!

Here's what we have:

Spotteswoode 1994 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon

Hardy's "Eileen Hardy" Shiraz 1994

Hermitage La Chapelle -Paul Jaboulet 1997

prices and menu ideas and hey anything else you can think of would be great!

Thanks a lot!
