I don't know too much about wine, but I'm looking for some recommendations for what to buy to give (as a surprise) to my older brother to celebrate with his wife on their wedding anniversary. The hope is that each year he and my sister-in-law can open a bottle or two on their wedding anniversary to celebrate (for the next 5-10 years -- if possibly even longer?). So I'm thinking about buying a case or two of the same wine...

 

I know he loves Californian wine -- since he's from northern California and tends to stay drink wines from Northern California.  In terms of budget, I don't think I can afford more than $20/bottle (assuming 12 bottle/case -- maybe 1 or 2 cases?).

 

Please advise. I need you help. Thank in advance for any suggestions/recommendations!
