What is a nice $30 - $45 bottle of wine?

Question

I am looking to buy a nice bottle of wine for my boss. He is a bit of a wine aficionado, and I am not in the least. I am looking for something trendy and classy, thanks for your help!!!!!

Answer 1

German Ice Wine is wonderful and ranges in that price.  I would definitely recommend it, they are only able to produce it when the weather is just right.  It is really sweet though, mostly a desert wine.  

Answer 2

The Prisoner!!!!!!!

From Orin Swift - a Zin, Cab, Syrah (plus more) blend that is amazing and right in the price range. It's a low-ish priced "cult" wine and there is a good chance your boss will know what it is and greatly appreciate it.

Answer 3

Salutations,

At those prices your looking probably looking at wines that age well and are meant to be kept under certain conditions. To Impress him, I would find out the year he started with the company, and start your search in that year. be careful, it might be a lot more than 30-45 dollars, especially if that year was a good year for that particular wine. Cheers  

Answer 4

This will impress him a lot.

Steininger Gruner-Veltliner. It's a smooth Austrian white wine with a kaleidoscope of flavors. It is good on its own but excels with food. Anything from Thai, Indian,fish,salads...

Your boss will be impressed that you will have chosen a wine, which in the next few years, will gain widespread popularity.

Also the sleek bottle and trendy yet practical glass stopper used instead of a cork will have him wanting to give you a raise!
