First time talking about wine

[Innkeeper]

Sorry Ral, but you just narrowed it down to several tens of thousands choices. If you want the recipiant to enjoy the wine sometime soon, I would not pay $150 or evern $75 for it, because wines of that caliber usually have to be aged out over many years. Recommend you try to find out where he buys his wine and ask the proprietor for recommendations. Another approach would be to find out the kinds of foods he likes to eat or favorite dishes, and ask any reputable retailer for ideas. For $150 you might even be able to get a case of a nice wine.
