We want to be treat by BIL to some nice wine, but are clueless. I am basically as "dry" as they come, and my wife drinks a half a glass of some very sweet stuff one a month . We don't even keep it in the house. We want to buy my BIL a gift certificate to a nice online wine seller or something like that. We will probably spend $150. He normally buys very dry 15 to 25 dollar bottles. Any suggestions on an online retailer would be great. Thank you.

Online retailer might not be your best bet - good wine doesn't like to be jostled (aka bottle shock). Do you have any good local stores that can provide guidance?
How about buying a nice Bordeaux or Cotes du Rhone - very good regions for red wine, and protected 'appellacians'.

We are lucky here in Arkansas...more then enough vineyards within a close drive. Got to be at least one or two in Georgia?

Depending on what they like, this is not a dry wine, but it's not a sweet wine either.
I have ordered from the Three Lakes Winery.
They have a cranberry wine that I like a lot.

A gc is a good idea - it's tough to gauge someone's taste in wine! Some like Barefoot Merlot, others like Bordeaux - I personally would rather have a few bottles of a great wine than a lot of bottles of a lesser wine - but everyone's different! My dad would go for the "Double Dog Dare" at two bucks a bottle!

This almost brings back memories of high school.
A 6-pack of Grain Belt beer and a bottle of Thunderbird.
Those were the days of a 'cheap date'.

Tony there are multiple wineries in N GA, several in Dahlonega, Three Sisters is a good one. They are beautiful to visit. A gift card to wherever and a nice bottle of a local wine would be a nice touch. I'm not much of a wine drinker but if you end up in Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, etc you will find one of the downtown shops selling some most likely.
