Wine As Gifts

How many holiday gatherings, cocktails parties, open houses and dinner dates are on your schedule? Pretty busy time of year, isn't it? And it's not unusual to bring along a bottle of wine or two in a gift bag when being invited somewhere.

The question is, what wine do you bring? Well, there are no hard and fast rules here but you can bring a wine that you know is a personal favorite of your host. No problem with that. Or bring champagne. Champagne is always a safe bet.

Or you can go the famous label route, but that can get expensive.

So here's our tip - personalize you pick. Giving a gift of wine is an invitation to share an experience so let your choice be as unique as you are.

If you don't have a personal favorite, don't stress. Just talk to your wine merchant or email us about what you like and we'll give you some ideas.

So get personal and . . .

Pop the cork™.
