Pommery Brut Champagne - $28
Marimar Torres "Don Miguel Vineyard" Sonoma County Chardonnay - $28
St. Supery Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc - $20
Chateau Cantemerle - $30 - $40
Chapoutier Coteaux du Tricastin Rouge - $18?
Emilio Lustau Sherry - $20
Grahams 20 Years Old Tawny Port - $40

This gives an average of $27 a bottle in C - more that some people thought!
AA pays roughly 50% of retail price. These must be international lists>
