There’s no wonder why it’s so common for many of us to add a few pounds during the holiday season – there’s just so many delicious goodies all around us! Isn’t it wonderful to attend a cocktail party or visit a friend or family member and sample their homemade holiday desserts, while enjoying a relaxing glass of wine? A great way to gift a hostess or gift a holiday present is with one of our robust Wine Gift Baskets For Christmas, packed with renowned wine varieties and gourmet goodies. Bring along a complementary holiday dessert with you to gift, or match up the wines in your Wine Gift Baskets For Christmas with the dessert the hostess is most well known for!
Custard/Flan
Does your hostess with the “mostess” make a “mean” custard or flan, or do you plan on bringing one to the gathering? If so, bring along a bottle of Riesling or a sweet sparkling wine, like our Gift of Champagne gift basket.
Apple Pie w/ Cinnamon Sprinklings
Yum, apple pie is a treat all year-long, especially with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Pair a fruit pie like apple with a white wine like a Sauterne, or pink champagne. The chardonnay in our California Wine Duet basket – one of our customer favorite Wine Gift Baskets For Christmas, will be delicious with a hearty slice of apple pie.
Chocolates
Biting into a scrumptious piece of chocolate – or chocolate fudge, at that, is a delight to the senses, particularly when it’s cold and snowy outside. Pair chocolate with a dark red wine, like pinot noir in our wine gift baskets for Christmas, including our California Wine Tasting Gift Basket.
Wine, Sans Dessert
Wine can be a dessert in itself, especially if it’s a sweet sparkling wine – such as a moscato. Make wine the centerpiece of your gathering or post-dinner enjoyment by choosing a light, sweet fine that will leave you and your guests feeling just as satisfied as having had that piece of chocolate cake!
