Shopping for gifts can be hard, but not to worry! Here is a selection of California wine gifts for any budget.
I have spent plenty of time scratching my head over what to buy my friends and family for special occasions, so I decided to put together a gift buying guide and share it with you!
You want a quality gift that won't cost a fortune!
Well look no further, here is a selection of great gifts for you to choose from. If you like any of the products listed on my page and would like to buy one, just click on the link, and your order will be processed through Amazon's secure shopping cart system.
Books
Books always make great gifts, and they work well for wine lovers as well. Here are a couple of really good books about California wine. They are both in my list of favorites.
California Wine For Dummies: The name pretty much says it all. If you're interested in the multitude of California wines, or planning to take a wine tasting trip through one of the great
California wine regions
, this book is a good place to start.
Give it to your hubby, along with any of our other California wine gifts, before you go on that romantic wine cruise through the golden state.
Judgement of Paris:California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine by George Taber is a super interesting read. In the mid 1970's, a group of supremely confident French winemakers challenges some California wines to a tasting contest. Sure that the French would win, the world was shocked when the upstart California wineries swept away the contest!
This book tells about the contest, the controversy, and the still heated feelings about it. *Don't give it to your French friends.
I also have a page with a lot more of my recommended
wine books
, so check them out if you like reading about great wine!
Movies
Movies are another inexpensive gift that works perfect for thoses smaller occassions.
I recommend Wine Road Trips: Napa, California. Ever thought about taking a road trip through
Napa Valley
? In this video, you get a personal tour from local Napa gourmet chefs, wine makers, and vintners. This is one of my recommended California wine gifts.
*Warning: it will make you want to pack up and drive to Napa!
Cool California Wine Art
If you are familiar with my site, you already know that I'm a huge fan of
wine art
. Artwork is very personal, and that's why it makes a fantastic gift for someone that you know very well. Giving someone a piece of art shows that you know the person, and took the time and effort to find a thoughtful gift for them. They will appreciate it.
Napa Valley Wine Posters
I really like these cool Napa Valley posters. Either of them will look great framed and hung in your favorite wine sipping room!
California Wine Gift Baskets
Everyone loves getting food and, of course, wine! Why not get your wife a beautiful wine country gift basket with a selection of gourmet food and wine? It will show her you care, and took the time to find an unusual gift that fits her taste.
The California Vines Wine Gift Basket includes 3 bottles of premium California wine, along with the following gourmet goodies: smoked almonds, wine wafers, gourmet cheese, yellow mustard, salami, crackers, chocolate sticks, and biscotti bites. You can't lose with this one!
The From California With Love gourmet food basket has a bunch of delicious local California snacks, including delicious Angelina's Butter Cookies, and cashew roca.
Send this to your snowed-in relatives in the midwest and let them enjoy a little taste of sunny California!
