That’s a really nice bottle of wine the President gave the Speaker of the House for his birthday: A reserve bottling of the Brunello di Montalcino from a top producer (Poggio Antico) – and a great vintage (1997! ) to boot. It’s also expensive. The only place I can find it for sale in Washington, DC is Schneider’s of Capitol Hill (good place – I once scored a couple bottles of Pappy van Winkle there, but that is another story). The price tag: $125. Here’s a picture tweeted by Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck: Obama birthday gift to Boehner yfrog. com/odun7rggj — Brendan Buck (@Brendan_Buck) November 16, 2012 Now, not to be a downer here, but members of the U.S. House of Representatives are subject to limits on the cash value of gifts they can receive.
