Merry Good Gear: Top Wine Gifts of 2009
filed under: Goods & Gadgetry

fishnet_tote.jpgIt's unavoidable: every year I'm asked to write a holiday gift guide on wine items, the thought of which makes my eyes roll back into my head and my thoughts scream "oh no, not AGAIN!" Because really, how many gift guides do we need to see each year? Howsoever, I'm proud to say that I actually enjoyed the list I penned this year, because I decided to go with what items I would only buy - nay, make that COVET - myself. And so here it is, in unashamed detail. You can read a summary of my selections below, then click the link at the bottom or here to read the whole thing at WineCountry.com. I think you'll like it, and may even find something you want for yourself (which is SO the way it goes with shopping for others, right?). Cheers :) - CC
***
With the holidays already upon us, many of us are wondering: what in the world will I buy for the wine lover on my list this year? Please, allow us to suggest: At the conclusion of a year that can only be described as tough, let loose with gifts that embrace the adventurous, offbeat side of wine. Because what we can all use right now is a healthy dose of humor - packaged, of course, in stellar style.
