I have six employees working under me and I report directly to the CEO. I would like to get my boss a nice bottle of wine for the holidays and a good bottle for each of my employees, any suggestions.

I’m a big fan of Cabernets from the Hall family of wines. They’re delicious, consistent, reliable and high quality.

like

Hall is great cab ready to drink today. Not as amazing at aging. But for a gift, a great choice.

People’s palates vary widely - i would either get a sense of what each of them like, or get them a gift card to a local wine shop that can help them choose something. This also helps if they themselves don’t drink (or don’t drink wine), they can always use the gift card to purchase for someone else.

like

Zinfandel is always a winning wine. Bedrock or Heitz/Ink grade, really nice examples. If you’re going with french wine, something like Famille Perrin is consistent, associated to Beaucastel, and available at a range of price points. Some of the Bordeaux satellites or 4th/5th growths are also very accessible.

like

Ledson is another good choice.

Tannats from Uruguay & Virginia!

- Garzon Reserva Tannat
- Pisano Reserva Tannat
- Michael Shaps Tannat
- Arterra Tannat

Otherwise I love Nebbiolo based wines like Barolo and Barbaresco.

Virginia Tannats are mostly from South American old world variants rather than the European Hybrids (old world varieties were killed off and only survived in South America).

Holus bolus syrah

Oh, and sometimes I like to go to a local cheese monger and have them create a box of cheeses to add with wine, if that’s in your budget. They usually make it in a nice presentation box. Good luck!

Champagne for everyone

Alpha Omega. Splurge for a single vineyard for boss (Dr Crane, Piedra, etc) and their prop red for your team.

I am looking for wine decanter tags that are writable. I’d like to find a vintage looking silver option, but they all require engraving. I’m looking for something writable that I can change the label on when I host wine parties and I have a couple decanters on the table. Anyone have something similar and can share a link with me? I’m struggling to find anything that will work, other than writing on clear tape with a sharpie marker 😐

Big fan of this one. Not super bold. More velvety. Subtle leathery taste, hints of vanilla! I picked up a half case for 120, or $20 a bottle! I may actually buy more. 8/10 for price and taste. Very elegant.
