Gourmet Gift of the Day Blog

This elegant wine gift highlights the fruits of California wineries and makes an exquisite presentation for an important client or esteemed colleague.  I ordered this item as a special thank you gift when my husband’s boss offered him a great business opportunity.  I knew he was a wine connoisseur, and thought it was the least we could do to show our appreciation.  My husband said that his boss showed this gift to the entire department, and raved about how delicious the food items were!  He also told my husband that he enjoyed the rich flavors of the wine selections.  I was glad that this gift was such a hit, and would highly recommend ordering it as a thank you or housewarming gift.  All About Gifts & Baskets offers this gift for $140, and also has an extensive collection of other wine gifts so you can find one that fits your needs.

This container in this gift is actually a leather magazine rack, and the items included are:

• Sesame Pepper Crostini Crackers
• White Zinfandel Havarti Cheese
• Spanish Olives
• Cheese Straws
• Cabernet Biscuits
• Torn Ranch Mixed Nuts
• Biscotti Cookies
• Mocha Truffles
• California Cabernet Sauvignon
• California Old Vine Zinfandel
• California Chardonnay
• California Sauvignon Blanc
• Wine Corkscrew

Perfect for a housewarming gift, wedding present or to celebrate a great achievement, this gourmet gift contains wine, cheese, and a few extra treats.

Presented in a harvest-themed gift box, All About Gifts & Baskets highlights the fruit of California with California Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sonoma Jack Cheese Spread, water crackers, beef salami, Spanish olives, Napa Valley mustard, spicy cocktail almonds and amaretto almond cookies.

Listed as the Perfect Pairing of Wine and Cheese, I would have to agree that the food in this gift box pair perfectly with the wine selections and create a divine dining experience!

Wine lovers will be thrilled to receive this gorgeous wine gift sampler filled with 2 bottles of California wines and a bounty of gourmet goodies. We ordered this gift basket directly from All About Gifts & Baskets and shipped it directly to our office in Virginia. Unfortunately, they only ship their wine baskets to 18 states which is likely due to laws prohibiting the shipment of alcohol across the borders of certain states. Be that as it may, if your gift recipient lives in one of those 18 states where this gift can be sent, it is an excellent choice.

The gift basket arrived wrapped in cellophane and then topped with a large sheer burgundy bow inside a large corrugated cardboard shipping box. It came via FedEx and a signature was required because it contained alcohol. The presentation was beautiful. The wine selections were some of the best from California with a red Cabernet Sauvignon and a white Zinfandel.  It contained all the items specified on the website and they were all tasty. The re-usable rattan basket sits atop one of our desks and holds all the paperwork headed to the shredder so it no longer looks unsightly.  We give this gift two thumbs up!
