Top Wine Gifts Under $100 - Perfect Gift on a Budget

Wine is one of the top five gifts for adults in the United States, and with good reason: a bottle of wine is connected to the vintage in which it was produced, and because of this, a wine from a significant year is the perfect way to celebrate an important milestone or anniversary.
 
With Personal Wine, you don’t have to spend a fortune to make a big impression, so take a look at our sommelier-curated list of wine gifts priced under $100:
 
Pol Roger Champagne Brut Réserve NV - $69
 
Champagne is the vinous embodiment of celebration and luxury, and in our view, there’s no better way to spread cheer at parties and gatherings.  With a history that dates back to 1849, Pol Roger is one of the oldest family-owned houses in the Champagne region, and their Brut Réserve is a classic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier that is aged for over four years prior to release.  With its persistent bubble, refined flavors, and low level of residual sugar, this is the perfect bottle for bridal showers, business closings, or any cause for celebration. 
 
California Red Blends 2015
 
California Cabernet Sauvignon and Red Blends are some of the most consumed wines in the world, and the most gifted.   Northern California boasts two of the greatest wine regions in the world, Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley. Optimal sun, rain and terrior produce the finest, highly rated red wines in the world  Starting from $29, this makes the perfect wine gift for anyone who loves red wine.
 
Dr Loosen Riesling - $34
 
The Loosen Bros Dr. L Riesling is made with fruit that comes exclusively from traditional vineyards with steep slopes and slate soil. By working closely with local growers on long-term contract, brothers Ernst and Thomas Loosen are able to maintain excellent quality in every vintage, particularly in the warmer months.
Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
 
Founded in 1972 by husband-and-wife team Charles and Lorna Wagner, Caymus Vineyards is synonymous with premium Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.  Now overseen by second-generation winemaker Chuck Wagner, Caymus continues to impress with each new vintage, particularly with their 2015 Napa Valley bottling which was awarded an astounding 94+ Points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate.  Inky in color, this powerful, sumptuous Cabernet leaps from the glass with aromas of crème de cassis, cocoa, and vanilla. This is the perfect wine gift for those who appreciate the finer things in life, and if you’re lucky, they might even share a glass with you.
