How To Choose WIne Gift Baskets For The Wine Enthusiasts On Your Gift List
On any birthday, holiday, anniversary, or other special event, a gift basket will please even the fussiest recipient. Many of us have a passion for foods, wines, and all things chocolate! With that in mind, wouldn't a wine and food gift basket be perfect for your gift giving needs?
Creating a wine basket over the Internet is not only time saving for you, but it is an excellent way to really personalize the basket. There are many unique spins that can be taken on a gift basket.
Some may feel that a gift chosen online is impersonal. This is not necessarily true. Prices and selections are vastly improved when shopping online, so it is far easier to find a gem of a product that may not be available in your area. Having a wider selection is actually better, as it virtually guarantees that your gift will be one of a kind.
Start by choosing a basket that will suit the taste of the gift recipient. If your friend or family member has a Mediterranean style kitchen, choose a basket in rich earth tones of brownish-red and aqua blues. For country kitchens, opt for a wicker basket. Modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances will look even better with a teak basket. The possibilities are endless.
The contents of the gift basket are also full of possibilities. If the wine connoisseur, you can choose one style of wine, say a Shiraz, and then select a number of Shiraz's from different vineyards. This is an appropriate gift for the wine lover who enjoys picking out the different tones and bouquets found in any variety of wine.
A beginning enthusiast will appreciate a basket with a few varieties of wines so that he or she can start narrowing down his or her favorite styles. You can add some wine glasses, wine charms, and a bottle stopper, as these are items a beginner may not already have on hand.
If you have a local vineyard, they often can put together a unique basket for you. Typical vineyards offer wines with personalized labels, locally produced jellies, handmade chocolate truffles, local cheeses, and even some area breads and crackers. A gift basket from local products can be a real kick for someone from out of town.
Wine is excellent with cheese and crackers. You can look into adding gourmet cheese products, some unique crackers, and other goodies. A great tip is to purchase things you know the gift recipient often refuses to purchase because he or she feels they are too extravagant. The items that a person most desires are always the ones he or she cannot afford.
No matter what a person's tastes may be, they will be thrilled with a wine and food basket. It's a thought that truly comes from the heart.

Ch Le Gravillot - Lalande de Pomerol
Many of the Bordeaux 'satellite' appellations have emerged in recent years to compete with the big names of the Medoc, St. Emilion, and Pomerol. This lovely wine from Lalande-de-Pomerol is made by Vincent Brunot, who took over the Chateau in 1998. The vineyard is only 10 acres in size and is 100% Merlot. Grown on the clay/gravel of the area, the wine has exceptional tannin for this 'soft' varietal. The Brunot family are all enologists and have greatly improved the quality of this wine to a level that is world-class. This dry red wine is aged for 18 months in new French and American oak barriques. A luscious wine with plenty of oak. We had the 2000 vintage and it went flying out the door with many upset customers looking for more. Get an ample supply before it is all snatched up again! Elegant gift from France! GLP02 GLP02

Buying Wine for Its Label
Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:49:07 PDT
A number of wineries are putting art work on their labels, hoping to increase the appeal of the purchase. Do these labels raise the market value for the "special" bottles to which they are affixed? Does it make them more sought after by collectors and more likely to appreciate in value? And what about the quality of the wine?

At various places, I've used greek/roman gods, Simpsons characters, beer companies, wine labels, and fish. We're in the process of changing to location-based hostnames with a flat internal domain structure. What do you use as internal naming systems? What do you think would make an excellent scheme?
