For Pinot, then we need to know if you trend towards the Burgundy spectrum or to that syrupy cr@p getting big points (my preference just bled through).

It also depends if you need some name recognition (Like faverymi mentioned, or Littorai, Calera) or under the radar "in the know" wines. If they are burg hounds, then I can set you up. Our wines fit the price point, we have something more affordable. Point of reference, ours are on If they are not pinot lovers, then go for Malbec, inexpensive and always a crowd pleaser.

This reminds me of when I brought a bottle of '92 Silver Oak Cabernet to my ex in-laws for Christmas dinner. I subsequently caught the mother-in-law adding sweet-n-low to her glass. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!!!
