Graduation time is coming and my class is trying to think of something nice to get our teacher/ grad coordinator. Like all people related to college he likes to drink... Mostly wine though. He's already got a spiffy little automatic aerator thingy. Anybody know of any cool gadgets or whatnot he might like?

Buy some box wine (like Franzia), open it up and take out the foil bag that holds the wine.  Wrap it up and tell him its "astronaut wine".   waytogo

How about a nice decanter and a set of nice glasses?  Always appreciated and reusable.   Vino!

There's about 10 of us and our teacher has done a hell of a lot for us these last couple years getting the program running and helping us all through it. It's pretty rough and very strenuous for him so we're willing push the (poor college student) wallet on this one. Any suggestions on favorite labels?

Buy a copy of Wine Connoisseur magazine and find what's highly rated this season.  Thats' the best way.  Labels come and go.

That is, unless you are buying him a bottle of Rothschild Mouton Cadet or the Chateau Mouton Rothschild.  Figure around 100-200/bottle for a 6-10 yr vintage, rarely will it disappoint and it is quite a showpiece.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Who cares about ratings?  Wine is an art form, it's about passion (at least it used to be).  How about put a basket together?  Decanter, glasses, and each family pick a bottle from their particular favorite wine, wine region, vintage...etc...That way it's very personal and chances are he will appreciate each bottle a little more than some mags top pick because the winery paid enough for advertising.  Personally being in the industry I would appreciate that much more than some highly rated, high priced name on a bottle.

Just my .02c
