Any Wine Connoisseurs Out There?

I am thinking of getting my boss a nice bottle of wine before heading back to the West Coast. She essentially created a position for me and provided me with a great opportunity to build my resume and follow a career I am passionate about . According to fellow co-workers, she prefers red wine over white and likes Cabernet. 

 

So, I ask you Huddlers, what is a nice bottle you would enjoy getting as a gift? I would like to spend around $40-$50 if possible for a fine wine. 

 

Thank you!

Why blow that on one bottle.  You could probably package about 3 different types that are highly rated.  Some great wines had for less.

 

Great Cheap one here..Merlot but I love it and drank all the wife's bottle down

I would stick to California Cabernet, something like this:

It's a good year, a great wine and a name she will know and probably be impressed with. If she collects she can age it for years or open it sooner with a meat dish.

 

I would not be thinking about being frugal or getting 3 bottles for the price of 1. You can do that for your home collection.

 

Somebody suggested Bordeaux which is usually a safe bet as well. Hard to find one that isn't very drinkable.

    • there seems to be a change or two in his personnel preferences.  For example, the safeties.  Another example:  the smallish NTs are out and 330 is back! 
    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.
