A Holiday Gift Guide :: For the Wine Lover

The holidays for me are often filled with good conversation, laughter, delicious food and plenty of wine around a candle-lit table. When conducting a small group tasting at Kuhlman Cellars, we had the privilege of tasting wines with the Master Wine Maker. A native of Provence, France, she shared a snipped from her childhood home that will always stick with me.

“As a child growing up, there was always wine on the table. It was as much a staple as salt or pepper. The wine helped flavor our food, conversation and our lives.”

How romantic is that?! As a wine lover myself, there are a couple of special items I love to keep in my kitchen and a couple of items on my wine wish list. This is the holiday gift guide for the wine lover in your life.
