Which wines we should try, at least once in our lifetime, and why?

We don’t have to get crazy about wine to experience some of the greatest wines ever made. $150, which can be a small fortune for some, is something most people can do once in a lifetime.
Many could do it at least once a year, on a birthday, anniversary, the closing of a great business deal, or the meeting with an important person. Wouldn’t that be a great investment on ourselves, while it would not cause us to go bankrupt, or lose our lifetime savings? I guess we all deserve it.
Now, which wines are those?
• If we talk about the type of wine, a great red wine, young or old.
• An expensive bottle of wine, red or white.
• A fantastic dessert wine, expensive or not.
• A 40 years old Port, or
• a 20 years bottle of Champagne.
If we consider grapes, an American Cabernet Sauvignon, an Oregon Pinot Noir, an Australian Shiraz, an Argentinian Malbec, a blend from Bordeaux, or a white wine from Burgundy.
