Wine and Gift Baskets: A Great Pairing

Wine and cheese may be a classic pairing, but the the perfect wine for a special occasion is is the ultimate pairing. Can you think of an occasion where wine won't make for better enjoyment? Neither can I.

The holiday season may as well be called the party season because of all the festivities that take place. Unplanned get togethers and unexpected guests are a common occurrence. In situations like these you don't want to be seen as a poor host. It's best to stock up so that won't happen.

Merchants expect large orders at this time of year and offer special deals on large shipments. Some employers like to include a bottle of wine as part of the employee Christmas bonus. For those employees that don't drink, non alcoholic versions are available as well.

If you're a guest to a holiday party, a bottle of wine is always a tasteful token of appreciation to offer your host. It shows you appreciate their efforts and builds good will. In fact, good wine shared over a good meal on special occasions makes for lasting memories.

If you're entertaining clients near the holidays, consider having a wine gift basket waiting in their room on arrival. Wine gift baskets are available for every special occasion, but imagine your client finding a beautiful basket waiting in their hotel room. It will get things off on the right foot. The ingredients of these baskets are gourmet quality and are picked to go expressly with the chosen wine--great pairings like truffles and champagne.

Not to worry if your dealing with a beer lover. Imported beer baskets are thoughtfully conceived to include great pub beers with goodies like pistachios and pretzels in the basket. Your beer lover can enjoy them while watching a football game--whether that's the NFL or UEFA variety. Cheers!

All About Cabbage (with Homemade Organic Sauerkraut Recipe)

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:20:14 -0800
From Jeff Cox Wild cabbage still grows along the Atlantic coast of Europe. It doesn’t look much like the cabbage that we know, because its leaves don’t form the big, round, tight ball we call the head. Instead, it’s just a collection of lobe-shaped leaves. The ancient Egyptians and Greeks knew and ate this wild cabbage—the Greeks had the idea that cabbage sprang from Zeus’s sweat, which may stem from the strong odor cabbage acquires when over-cooked. Another Greek saying about cabbage is tha

Dear Santa: There's no point in lying to you, Big Guy. It hasn't been my best year. But we both know that you give all kinds of things to people way worse than me!

Christmas Part Two: Carols in the park

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 13:23:14 -0800
Lazy Christmas Entertaining I am not sure I entirely believe this; however I read it on the internet so it must be true. Apparently Carols by Candlelight started in Australia – although it seems to have been updated and is now carols by glow-stick (those sticks that glow when you snap them). Anyhow a big part of our Christmas tradition is attending the Carols by Candlelight in the park. We attend primarily because the park happens to be right next door to our house. The first year we lived here
