When it comes to wines at White House state dinners, cost typically isn’t an issue.
One go-to vino maker for years has been Peter Michael, which sells many reds for between $100 and $200. When President Obama hosted China’s president, he uncorked a $115 Washington state Cabernet Sauvignon. Mexico’s president drank a $70 Valdez Family Winery Silver Eagle Vineyard Chardonnay at another Obama dinner. Former President George W. Bush served former French President Nicolas Sarkozy a $100-a-bottle 2004 Dominus cabernet blend.
