When it comes to impressing the boss, you know you’re well on your way when the coveted invite to dinner at his place is finally extended. It’s “first impression” time all over again. In addition to doning the best your closet has to offer, it’s always a nice gesture to bring a host/hostess gift, and a bottle of wine is usually a pretty safe bet.

Unsure of what wine will best suit your host? We spoke with a couple wine directors around New York City for tips on inexpensive (under 20 bucks) wines that are sure to impress even the most discriminating oenophile. Some of these wines are equipped with the more modern ‘Stelvin’ (aka twist-top) closure. However, should someone turn up their nose at a “screw-cap,” confidently inform them that you can almost guarantee the wine will satisfy their palate. Besides, studies have shown wines spoil far less often under the Stelvin closure and really only a mere 5% of wines really need to age in the bottle under cork.

Best Cheap Wine Under $20

Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label ($35)

If you are completely unsure of what your boss might enjoy, go with a classic standby - Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label champagne. This distintive label is reflective of the juice within - fruity, with a good balance of ripe acidity. Yeah, sure, it does retail above $20, but it’s a classic, quintessential celebration bubbly and is always warmly received—and hopefully, will indicate to your boss that you're the upwardly mobile type.

Tasting Cheat Sheet: Bouquet of fresh bread dough, chalk and vanilla with ripe apple, vanilla and pecan flavors.
