    Default Need help w/ gifts for the office (wine, tequila, scotch)

    For the holidays I will be getting certain individuals (mainly the department/company head) gifts. I was hoping you guys could help me narrow down brands that I should be able to find at a liquor store in NJ (Bottle King)

    President/Owner
    Likes tequila on the rocks
    I know that he is a fan of Patron
    I would like to get a unique tequila, something that shows I put some thought into my gift
    Budget <$70 (if possible, but I will take suggestions around that range as well)

    My Personal Boss/Dept. Head
    Scotch drinker
    Likes Black Label
    Not really one for brands, but appreciate quality
    Budget <$70

    Co-Worker & Office Manager
    Both are girls and both love wine
    With that said, both do not really know a lot about wine (they just like the thought and like to drink it)
    I am open to Reds and Whites
    Preferable bottles from outside the US
    I would like to find something with an older year to show value (even if it is not a great wine all around)
    A quality bottle design/label could replace the age factor
    Budget <$35 per bottle


    Keep in mind I need to be able to find these things at a local liquor store, unfortunately I waited and won't have the time to run from store to store to find specific brands

    You got a Costco or two near you? Check 'em out. Beyond their "normal" wine and spirits departments, they've got extra inventory for holiday shoppers just like you.
    When I'm not here, I'm slinging IT infrastructure or gone golfing

    Thank you, I decided to go with an Avion (anejo) and a Glenfiddich (15 Year)

    Smart choice with the Avion, would've been one of my recommendations had I seen this earlier

    Thank you, it went over really well. I am not a big tequila drinker, but with some research I found Anejos are definitely the way to go - I honestly chose Avion because it is not as common as Patron and I heard about it in the HBO series Entourage, I got lucky because my boss mentioned that he's heard a lot about it and has been meaning to give it a try.

    Have a great holiday everyone! Stay safe, have fun.
