YOU AND YOUR BOSS

are entertaining clients after a big day. The clients are likely— but not for sure—picking up the tab. What under $100 bottle do you order for the table?

Domini Veneti Verjago Valpolicella ($100) from Italy. Great wine, big and juicy, from Veneto.—SJ

Christian Moreau “Vaillons” Chablis 1er Cru ($54), because after a big day, we need to quench and refresh with the mouth-watering minerals of a pristine Chablis.—JY

Stags’ Leap The Investor 2014 ($73): the price is reasonable, the quality is great, and the subtle messaging is perfect for your business deal.—CR

Ridge “Monte Bello” Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 ($97) is my favourite single-vineyard California cabernet at the price; this storied producer and wine will never fail to impress— even in difficult vintages.—KF

If I’m entertaining clients on behalf of my boss, then I’m going Canadian for sure—but I want to pick something they’ve probably never heard of. Benjamin Bridge Brut ($48) from Nova Scotia is both Canadian and delicious; it’s the finesse of Champagne paired with the terroir of Canada. Pretty skookum, if you ask me!—MS

Italian wines have such incredible value, and you don’t need to spend much to have something stunning, like Produttori del Barbaresco Nebbiolo di Langhe 2016 ($28). I think the choice of nebbiolo brings sophistication to the experience, and this choice would also be understated enough to show discretion in price point.—JS

For the white, a great Loire wine that’s easy to pair with different types of food, like Pascal Cotat Sancerre La Grande Côte 2015 ($63); for red, Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, Stags’ Leap District 2014 ($100).—SL
