irreverentReds cab Sauvignon, or a Malbec from Argentina.
Whites light go Sauvignon Blanc anything from Marlborough (NZ).
Also like Russian river ranch. Best of luck. I’m sure she’ll be delighted with anything, but if you can, find out if she prefers one to the other. I myself prefer light whites, but many connoisseurs prefer reds for more body.

sjtillI'm from Sonoma County so biased, but actually my personal favorite is the Thomas Fogarty pinot noir, made in the hills above Stanford in Palo Alto. Very smooth and silky.
My ICU nurses gave me a case when I retired from working in a hospital nearby.

RNshooterTry the Ferrari-Carano Cabernet Sauvignon 2014.
My in-laws brought by a bottle tonight and it was delicious. And they are wine snobs.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams
“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

smschulzI kind of agree on Champagne for an occasion but a superb wine would be
Brunello di Montalcino.
They need to be a little aged and some are under $100 - a spectacular wine.

Stealthy4Duckhorn, Silver Oak, and Caymus are all good choices in the 60$ range. Darioush is better but will put you at the 100$ limit

megabyteI spend too much time imbibing $20-$30 wine. When I’m after something for a celebration, it’s always Stag’s Leap Artemis. BRL gave you great advice.
