Why Wine And Fruit Gift Baskets Are A Good Gift For All Occasions
In 2006, there are ten federal holidays. Those are holidays such as New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Beyond that, however, are even more holidays (not recognized by the Federal Government) that we celebrate such as: Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's & Father's Day, Halloween, anniversaries, and birthdays.
With so many occasions to celebrate, there is a question that must be answered several times a year: what gift should I give, bring, or send?
With so many different people with such different tastes, it becomes stressful to think of a present every holiday. There is one present, however, nearly guaranteed to make anyone happy. What present could this be? Wine gift baskets.
Wine baskets are appropriate for nearly every occasion, holiday, or event. They are always a nice, appreciated gift which you will find, fits right in with your holiday.
Not only are they a nice gift, but they are easy to pick out, pay for, and send! Similar to how you send flowers, you can send a wine gift basket by getting online and ordering it, or calling in by phone. You can get it delivered to yourself, and then personally give it to the recipient, or you can simply have it sent straight to them!
Wine gift baskets go beyond just wine. You can pair the wine with many different types of accessories such as: chocolate, cheese, cookies, breadsticks, biscuits, crackers, pasta, nuts, meats and more!
While you can simply place an order for a certain amount of money (and have the company choose the basket which best fits your budget), it is encouraged that you decide the composition of the basket. For instance: you could order the same wine from different wineries, or you could order a specific wine and choose the accessories best suited to the recipient's taste (for instance: if they are a chocolate lover, you could pair your wine with chocolates).
Choosing the composition of your basket makes it more personal, and gives you the chance to show your special concern for the recipient. Wine baskets appeal to a very diverse crowd: people of all ages, social class, genders, locations, etc.
Wine baskets are always a well-responded to as a gift, especially since many people don't spend money on wine for themselves, but almost everyone enjoys wine. Not only is wine nice for the person receiving it to drink, but the person can enjoy it in other ways as well, by serving or sharing it at something like Thanksgiving dinner. They will keep you in mind and appreciate the tasty gift that they can share with people they love.
So the next time one of many holidays comes up, and you find yourself trying to decide on the perfect present, remember that wine baskets are easy to get, fun to accessorize, and often greatly appreciated by a large assortment of different people.

Wine Tourism in Sherry Country and a Lesson from Portugal
Mon, 25 Aug 2008 02:29:19 PDT
Two weeks ago, after a very relaxing holiday in Galicia, we chose to make our way home to Jerez via Portugal, stopping off for two nights in Oporto on the way. I’ve been to where they make Madeira, I live where they make sherry but I had never been to Oporto, so this was an exciting opportunity to visit the place where they make Port. For me, the “traditional” fortified wines are madeira, sherry and port so in a way this completes the circle. What struck me immediately on arriving at Vila Nova

Gonzalez Byass ‘Elegante’ Sweet Cream

What can you say about cream sherry? It’s is the quintessential ‘Nana’ sherry. It’s what many people reference of when they think of sherry, the big jugs of McWilliams Cream Sherry sitting at the bottom of cupboard that their grandmother used ‘just for cooking’. More often than not, if I give someone a glass of good sherry, more often than not I’ll get a comment about drinking it with nana in the kitchen while no-one was looking. There are some amazing cream sherries on the market (this oloros

Sandeman is the leading brand in the world of vinos when it comes to chocolate complementing Sherry or sweet noted Portos. Even its logo was a marketing tool way ahead of its time. A dark, dramatic figure with a glass of ruby colored Porto, a powerful image never changed but naturally matured like the 30 or 40 year aged Portos. These special vines
