For those of you that are either hosts or are always attending events or parties you know how essential it is to have your go to’s of perfect gift giving options. My rule of thumb for gifting has always been to only gift something I would want to be gifted or buy myself so here is a list of a few of my favorite Wine & Food gifts.  Let’s be honest, it feels great giving gifts to friends or family so take advantage of some of my favorites considering I try approximately 40-50 new wines a month I may know about a few goodies you have not had a chance to taste or discover. Happy gifting!

4. Mauritson Wines

Mauritson Wines is one of the oldest family wineries in Dry Creek with delicious Wines. I first tasted Mauritson Wines Charlie Palmer’s Project Zin (read more here) event  and then enjoyed this amazing Sauvignon Blanc at the Sonoma Wine Country Weekend and fell in love. On a hot summer day this is such a delicious Wine. It’s light and crisp with lush tropical and citrus fruits with slight nuances of minerality.  On the palate there are notes of pink grapefruit with flavors of white nectarine, passion fruit and lime zest. This will for sure be a crowd pleaser and it’s only $21. Visit Mauritson Wines to purchase this yummy Sauvignon Blanc.

5. Aervana Electric Wine Aerator

The Aervana Electric Wine Aerator is the gift the true wine lovers will adore, especially those that drink full body Cabernets and like to decanter their wines. I experienced this tasting a Cabernet Sauvignon side by side, one with the aerator and one without and I was blown away by the difference in body and smoothness after using the aerator.  Visit Aervana to purchase at $99.

6. Cambria Wines

Those of you Chardonnay lovers like me will adore this delicious Chardonnay with lively fruit and oak spice aromas and citrus, pineapple and white peach flavors.  Cambria, is a family-owned estate winery located in the heart of the famed Santa Maria bench in Santa Barbara County. Cambria’s wines expresses the unique  signature of the incredible cool climate in this region, part of why as a Chardonnay lover I adore the wines from Santa Maria Valley so much. Visit Cambria Estate Vineyard & Winery to purchase at $22.

8. The Plant Cafe Juice Cleanse

For someone like me who dines out extensively, a cleanse is something I have started incorporating into my routine and I love them. The Plant Cleanse was the first cleanse I tried and I really liked it so much that I realized it’s the perfect gift for any food lover.  Cleanses are designed to give the body a rest while nourishing the system with highly beneficial vitamins, minerals and nutrients.  The Plant offers purely organic and local ingredients and have been available in the Bay Area since 2005. I tried the Refresh, Restore & Revive cleanses (each for a day) which are $55 – $59 per day and it made my body feel lighter and cleaner. Most people ask if I lost weight and yes, I did 4 lbs in 3 days, not bad! To be honest, the hardest part were the headaches I got since I gave up coffee for the three days. I recommend giving it a try and if you need to keep coffee in your diet (which I will do going forward as I cleanse to avoid the headaches) you still are giving your body a great rest and refresh and will see some amazing benefits. Visit The Plant to purchase, prices vary by cleanse.

9. Cuvaison Andy Warhol Gift Set 

This may be one of the coolest gifts for both art lovers and wine lovers. Cuvaison is offering a three series set of Andy Warhol collector boxes. This is the first of three including two Napa Valley estate wines, a Chardonnay from Carneros and a red Bordeaux blend from Brandlin Vineyard on Mount Veeder. Both the beautifully-crafted wines and collector’s box feature original artwork created by Andy Warhol.  Visit Cuvaison Estate Wines to purchase this limited set at $250.

10. Riedel Glasses & Decanter

Every wine lover needs some nice glasses which is why I recommended Riedel for serious wine drinks. The glasses are gorgeous and they have incredible decanters and such which are just as essential as wine glasses for those drinking heavier reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Bordeaux blends. A few of my go to Riedel items are the below Cabernet decanter and glasses. Riedel XL Pinot Noir set, the Riedel extreme Chardonnay set (which look way cooler than the regular size).
