Wine and cheese pairings make wonderful Christmas gifts
for friends, family and acquaintances. You always want to make sure that your recipient like to drink wine first, because
not everyone enjoys an alcoholic beverage (or they may get headaches from it). But if they do drink wine, there are some fantastic
choices available.
One of the premiere brands to consider in this realm is Wine.com
-– and those selections can even be ordered on Amazon, too, where many of them offer free Super Saver shipping.
They have some selections that include wine flavored cheeses with other
snacks and items like cutting boards, but you can also select an option that includes the actual wine in it.
For example, the Fine Wine & Cheese Wine Gift Basket has an array
of tasty treats, like a cheese spread, olives, cocktail almonds, and crackers. But it also comes with a Raymond R Collection
Chardonnay.
Then there’s the Sonoma Tower
Food & Wine Gift. It’s much larger than the previous item, and includes a Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon. It
has similar snack items as the other, including almonds, sausage, crackers, truffles, and cheese.
A mouth-watering option is the Tuscan Trattoria Italian Wine Gift Basket, which doesn’t
come in a basket at all, but a theme-fitting colander for the recipient of your Christmas gift to strain his or her pasta
in.
The gift includes a couple of different
pasta selections, and two sauces –- tomato basil and Pesto alla Genovese. They get a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, and
a special treat of almond biscotti.
This company
also has many special collections that serve to make great Christmas gifts. For example, if you know someone who sticks to
red wine, then you might gift them the Quintessential Reds Wine Gift Collection that has six signature red wines from France,
Italy, Argentina, Australia, Spain, and Chile.
You
can choose certain regions for your gift selection, like the Grand Tour de France Wine Gift Collection, which includes six
wines from the most popular French wine regions –- two white bottles and four red bottles of wine. With both of these
options, you can add your own cheese and accompanying treats.
You might want to consider the Wine and Cheese Gift Basket Cutting Board by Nikki’s Gift Baskets. This is a
simple, yet elegant gift choice that includes a California red wine paired with cheese, almonds, bruschetta crisps, and a
cute cutting board.
The Chalone Double Delight
Wine and Cheese Gift Basket is another great choice for your Christmas gift list. It includes a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Merlot
bottle, as well as crackers, wine and cheese biscuits, cabernet cheese spread, cheese bars, and chocolate with a wooden cheese
board, corkscrew, and cheese spreader.
