I'm not looking to spend too much $$$$ and would like to buy something even if they are not big drinkers. (social drinkers)

Thanks.Chat Icon

Re: What's a nice bottle of wine to give as a gift?

Well i am a white wine kinda gal...

And i know primarily only LI wines but i would go with a nice Laurel Lake Riesling
OR
if you want a different kinda red....Pindars Sweet Scarlet.

If you want something different, like a dessert wine:
Opsrey Dominion makes a peach wine and a Spice wine

Good Luck.

My father primarily drinks the Ruffino Tan label - he buys it by the case For a holiday we'll have the gold label. The St. Francis is nice too, I had it at the Westbury Manor for the first time a few years ago. For white, I normally drink the Yellow Tail Chardonnay or the Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio.

They are all good gifts for someone.

I'm a red wine drinker...Ravenswood makes a great Zinfandel - goes with everything from pizza to (if it's your thing) meat.

My current favorite is Pinot Noir...Blackstone makes a good one.

Ditto. I highly recommend.

If Pindar Winter White is available at your store, then I would suggest that too.

I also like the Blackstone Pinot Noir.
Not for everyone though, but definitely for a red-wine enthusiast.

I think you could also ask the person at the liquor store. They should know what they are talking about.

Re: What's a nice bottle of wine to give as a gift?

If I don't know their preference, I do a red and a white. What about doing a local wine that they might not know of? Some stores carry local LI wines.
