Since everyone else in our group will likely bring something from California or Oregon, we'll opt for a European wine, and are soliciting suggestions. Arianna Occhipinti and Laura Bianchi come immediately to mind, but I'd like to hear what the rest of you would recommend (and it should be something that is widely available, since we live in Kentucky).

Great idea, but hard to source here (I've never seen a Prum in this state).

I'm thinking along the lines of Elizabetta Foradori, Cinzia Merli, etc.

You already stated Foradori which is an outstanding choice. Another Italian that immediately came to mind was Virna Borgogno.

Mount Horrocks (cordon cut riesling is different) made by Stephanie Toole

but of course these are Australian

Nice. I have a bottle of the 2013 coming. Four stellar reviews in CT by trusted tasters

Why did I not think of this. A couple of my wifes pals are going love my new request. (they always bring wines *made* by a woman vintner)

Although Aline Bailly is very involved at Coutet, she is not really the winemaker.
Ditto for the charming Veronique Sanders at Haut Bailly. She is a wonderful ambassador and 'face' of Haut Bailly, but she delegates the winemaking to a bloke.
