Hope my client likes this bottle.

Attachment 106845

I have a client that's a wine distributor and when we close a deal, he usually gifts me several bottles of wine. As we got to know each other better, I made a joke when we were in his cellar (amazeballs, by the way) about holding out on me with the good stuff.

He responded by telling me that he knew I'd appreciate a crazy bottle, but instead he wanted to share his more accessible favourites, knowing I'd be able to buy them myself on a more regular basis... I still continue to purchase bottles he's given me frequently and always remember who introduced me to that particular wine...

There's a time and a place for an $800 bottle - and the purchase of a home is certainly an occasion worth celebrating - but there might be an opportunity for you if you gift your clients something they're more likely to drink again and again and build that mental association... Just my 2c.

Well said.

This particular client has an extensive wine collection as well, so I was hoping to get her something with a little wow factor. When she invites us over for dinners or they come to our place she always brings 5 or 6 bottles with her. So I feel this is appropriate in this case.
