I would stick to champagne, all great options you listed. I may be biased here, but unless you already know that they are a fan of those big bold style California wines (overpriced name recognition in my opinion) , I would stay away.

Personally, I would choose the pierrier out of curiosity. I prefer dryer sparkling wines and Bollinger tends to have more sweetness, although I've never tried their vintage bottlings. This is just a personal preference, both are great now or to wait for a special occasion.

Those are all excellent choices for Champagne. Not a big fan of Cal Cabs - just show off bottles and very sweet and overextracted

Dry. Acidic nose. But for $10 this wine is amazing. Where else can you find a ‘14 vintage for that cost. I Get nectarine hints maybe plum. Very little body. Mild tannin; I wouldn’t mind putting out for guests. If you’re going for something dry, acidic, in the red department, can’t complain. I picked this one up from Trader Joe’s. Hope you find this helpful!

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)

Ribeiro: LOVE this wine region from the Galicia region of Spain but it’s hard to find anything coming out of this place. Not to be confused with Ribera del Duero, known for Vega Sicilia, lot of white wine cones from this region. The Treixadura grape is prominent, and it has granite soils and a rich bubblegum like flavor. Lovely minerality and acidity.
