Choosing a Gift

[banna]

I want to buy a nice dinner wine for the one friend of whom I normally ask wine advice. Without him to help me, I am lost! I have a very small selection to choose from, and yet still I cannot make a choice. Among these, which would my wine-savvy friend recognize as "the best", assuming that he would enjoy any of them as a dinner wine?

- Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2001 – Tuscany
- Geografico Montegiachi Chianti Classico Riserva 2000
- Falesco Vitiano IGT 2002
- Paitin Dolcetto D’Alba 2001
- La Sera Barbera del Piedmonte “Il Falo” 2002
- Amano Primativo 2002
- Il Circo Montepulciano 2002
- Zenato Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC 2000
- Cantine del Taburno Anglianico “Fidelis” 2000
- Fazi Battaglia Verdicchio Classico NV
- Ferrara Greco di Tufo 2002
- Tiefenbrunner Chardonnay 2003
- Zenato Lugana Trebbiano DOC 2003
- Tedeschi Monte Tenda Soave 2003
- Teruzzi & Puthod Vernaccia DOCG 2002

Welcome to the board, Banna. I would view the Zenato Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC 2000 as being the most "gift-worthy" of those on your list.

As the most gift-worthy, is it *particularly* gift-worthy, or is mine a poor selection?
