What Wine to Give as a Gift
If you are confused about which wine to give as a gift, we have the answer for you. In this post, we’ll take a look at some of the best wines to give somebody.
When looking to give wine as a gift, you should spend a bit more than you would spend on yourself. It’s only a few dollars more to get a lot more quality.
To start off, one of my favorite wines is this Chateau De Cedre Cahors Malbec 2007 pictured below. Imported from France, this wine is one of the top wines you can get for under $20. This smooth and elegant wine has amazing flavors of potent blackberry, cedar, and spice and herb aromas for only $17.00:
Aside from the major flavors lsited above, this wine also has hints of chocolate, raspberry, clove, and licorice notes.
If $17 is a bit too pricy for you, try this great Chateau la Mouliniere Bordeaux Rouge 2007 for only $11.00.
This Bordeaux is a simple fruity blend which makes an amazing gift. It has been called one of the world’s greatest red wine values, and the 2007 vintage is particularly good.
This Bordeaux has a deep red color and a developed nose of cassis, raspberry and cherry. It is very fruity in the mouth with fresh red fruit and earthy spice flavors leading to a nice, long finish. This wine is perfect with grilled meats, burgers, cheeses, and lamb so this is a great dinner party gift.
Finally, if you are looking for an excellent white wine gift, you can’t beat the amazing flavors of this Sauvignon Blanc. The crisp and fruity flavors from this bottle of wine come from France’s often overlooked Southwest wine region. This tasty bottle is only $14.50.
Tasting Notes:
Powerful grapefruit and floral aromas. Grapefruit flavors continue on the palate. A racy, light-bodied wine with good fruit. Perfect with appetizers, cheese, seafood and light pasta dishes.
Any of these 90+ point rated wines will surely impress. The smooth velvety taste of these wines will make you crave more. Whether you are looking for a great dinner party gift or just a treat for yourself, the above wines are perfect!
If you are looking to give someone a great gift, why not a wine club. The Zagat wine club offers 12 bottles of quality wine, 4 free wine glasses, and tasting notes about the wine for only $69.99.
