Birthday? Anniversary? Christmas? House-warming? Gifting, no matter the occasion, is one part art, one part science, and one part love. And for us, one part wine!
We love giving wine (sake and cocktails) as a gift because it’s practical, tastes great, and there are so many different choices.
Of course, there is red, white, rosé, and sparkling wine, but there is so much more out there.
From wine advent calendars to individual servings of wine (hello wine in a can!), fancy wine to table wine, wine from California to wine from Spain…oh my! Your options are endless and we are here to help you find the perfect wine gift for everyone on your list.
