Food and Wine Gifts
Wine and food have been paired for what seems like forever. Different food items are said to reveal the true nature of a particular wine. It is often said that unless the appropriate food items accompany a wine, its true taste and flavor cannot be enjoyed.
Most wine gift baskets more often than not contain certain food items, which are thought to be the best accompaniment for the wine or wines included in it. However, certain food items which are present regardless of the kind of wine are the various kinds of cheese, nuts and chocolates. There are certain kinds of breads and meats which can also be included in the gift baskets. Pates are also common in food and wine gift baskets. Depending on the wine and the price of the basket, the amount and quality of the food items included, varies. Often the customer can decide which wine or wines he wants to include in the basket and correspondingly, he or she can also pick out the food items to be included. In this way, a person can have his gift basket personalized according to his budget and liking.
The food and wine gift baskets are often distinguished by the area which the wine belongs to. If the wine is French, then the items included will have a French flavor as opposed to if the wine is Californian, in which case the items will be specific to California. This aspect certainly adds a lot of uniqueness to each wine gift basket.
The food and wine gift baskets are often on the high end, as far as their price is concerned. If the food items included are of the gourmet variety, then there is no upper limit to the price of the gift basket as such. The starting price is about $100 and this can go up to as high as $500 or even more.

Romantic Duet
The perfect pair for ripe full flavor. Start with our prized Marom Cabernet Sauvignon,we were able to obtain a limited amount of this late harvest Cabernet from Romania. The Cabernet grape lends the wine a more powerful finish to the wine. You roll the Marom Cabernet in your mouth for a length of time, you will feel a small explosion of complex tastes of fruit and light tannins. RRCCW703 Follow-up with the splendor of the Mosel Riesling Kabinett. The wines of the Mosel and its tributaries, the Saar and the Ruwer, are richly fragrant, pale in color, light-bodied with a lively, fruity acidity. The slaty soil imparts a distinctive taste to Mosel wines, ranging from fine fruity to earthy, or “flinty”. Often they have a hint of effervescence. This Kabinett wine is a good example of the Mosel style of wine. This wine is righly fragrant, racy, piquant, elegantly fruity and delicate. GWMKS701 Both are packaged in a colorful gift box featuring the contemporary art of Josef Werner. Your personal expression will top it off in a (free) hand written gift card. Now that is tasteful!

Have your wine and eat it, too (The Myrtle Beach Sun News)

There's a surefire secret to creating synergy between a dish of food and a glass of wine: Make sure the same wine is in each. Some of the greatest wine and food pairings in history are based on that principle. For example, boeuf bourguignon (beef braised in red wine) served with red Burgundy is what we consider a holy grail pairing that all food lovers should experience at least once. Whether ...
