to your question.... Taittinger La Francaise this year i am toning it down it would have been a Comtes de Champagne (which is Taittinger's vintage champagne) and more expensive than your non-vintage. as for your 1985 Newton Cab.. i am not familiar with california wines, so i guess i am not much help, but overall for a 24 year old bottle... you are brave for keeping it this long (unless this particular winery is known for their wines keeping long) i would certainly have a 'plan b' bottle... call it the bench reserve just in case your opening bottle is flat or worse... dead. there is not much i can add to what has been said already... except perhaps... when you open it... take a small taste to see it is 'ok' and if you can, you may want to take a decanter with you so as to avoid the very probable sediment it will have... at least you would eliminate arriving at the restaurant and find out your wine is undrinkable... :( Happy anniversary... and happy new year ! edit: p.s. the time of opening is important... again, i am not familiar with the specific wine... but being a cab and assuming the wine is healthy.... 1 hour or more would be ok.
