Holiday Gift Guide 2019

It’s that time of year to start thinking about your holiday shopping! I’ve been hard at work sipping, swirling, sniffing, and splurging to put together a list of holiday gifts for the wine lover in your life. While I always enjoy the gift of wine itself, I also love the thought of gifting wine in new and creative ways – after all, wine is an experience – and these gifts are sure to deliver. Check out the list and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Happy gifting and cheers to a great holiday season with friends, family, and … more wine!

For the Person who loves Discovering New Wines

Cellar Angels Wine Club Membership – Wine clubs from our favorite wineries are great, but sometimes we want to expand our horizons and try hard-to-find wines from small, exciting wineries. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, Cellar Angels makes it easy to access incredible wines from Napa and Sonoma’s premier wineries. Quarterly shipments at one of three tiers make for the perfect holiday – and ongoing – gift.

For the Perfect Stocking Stuffer

Rewined Candles are made from repurposed wine bottles and these adorable candles come in all your favorite wine scents like Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and Champagne. What better way to fill the house with the glorious scent of wine (other than popping a cork, or course)? Plus, these smell so great that it’ll be hard for your recipients to resist diving into their stocking before Christmas morning. 

For the Art Lover

Elysia Myers Wine Art  Know someone who loves wine and art? Then you have to check out Elysia Myers Wine Art for a super unique focal point. Elysia paints with wine and the result is a beautiful work of art that is sure to be the most talked about gift under the tree! Think about pieces like a Sangiovese Sunset or Merlot Mountains that would inspire any wine lover to sip and savor in style. You can visit her website to take a glimpse at her gallery, or reach out to her directly to create your own one of a kind pieces.

For the Cook and Wine Lover

Napa Valley’s iconic Round Pond Estate offers a wide array of gift boxes for every budget and every palate. Want more than just wine? I’m in love with the syrup and olive oil and vinegar sets – it’s like having even more of the Napa Valley on my table while I’m enjoying those beautiful Round Pond wines. As an added bonus, their gift sets come with an individual gift concierge service with personalized gift notes, customized inserts, coordinated shipping and arrival dates, and tailored cost proposals to meet your budget. To use their gift concierge service call the Round Pond Gifting Concierge directly at 707-302-2575, or via email at christinam@roundpond.com. Use code “Bigcabbiggerhair” for flat shipping of $10 on all gift orders!

For the Fashionista

Barrique Design watches are designed from repurposed wine barrels. These highly fashionable conversation starters also remind you – elegantly – that wine hour is just around the corner. I’ve worn mine at just about every wine tasting I attend – and at work – and on the town – I can’t get enough of these stylish watches.

For the Experience Seeker

A gift card for Laces & Limos. Planning an epic wine trip to the Napa Valley or trying to convince that wine thrill seeker to finally take the plunge and get out here? This is the perfect way to experience the gorgeous weather, the incredible Coombsville AVA, and some incomparable wineries – all while riding in a Tuk-Tuk. This is one of those must-dos in Napa – especially for the person who’s “done it all.” Hopefully you can convince your giftee to take you along with them.
