Give the Gift of Fine Wine
All through human history, wine has been a celebratory drink enjoyed in both social and religious events and rituals. For millenia wine has been savored for pleasure, celebration, and religious purposes. Wine was historically thought to have medicinal properties and red wine is confirmed to be good for heart health. Although not all societies drank wine for leisure, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as drink or medicine. In my life, wine is ideal for festivity, relaxation, and from time to time, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the perfect gift for any occasion. When I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming gift, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a stylish gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class social groups, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and mingle with friends. What a great occasion to socialize and learn a thing or two as well!
Recently, I found myself in charge of planning out a rather large social event. In all the confusion of making arrangements, I forgot to notify one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the show, we realized the problem when I answered a phone call from the sponsor. On account of the miscommunication, they were unable to be involved in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule in vain. My initial response in apology was to send the sponsor a wine and cheese basket from Baskets By Rita. For $150 I was able to send them a basket packed with an assortment of red and white wines, cookies, an assortment of cheeses, smoked salmon, gourmet crackers, summer sausage, olives, dried fruits, caramel corn, candy, snack mix, fine chocolates, mixed nuts, and more. I felt that this would be a gift that could be shared among all of their employees and I hoped it would convey my apologies for the mix up. I would endorse a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is appropriate. Whether you need to say thank you, send a housewarming gift, apologize, or present a gift when visiting a friend, Baskets By Rita has the perfect wine basket some of which are Chardonnay White Wine Basket for the occasion. We include your choice of white wine along with a compliment of assorted munchies including: Chardonnay Havarti Cheese spread, Beef Summer Sausage, Gourmet Crackers, Smoked Gouda Cheese, Trail Mix, Caramel corn, triple chocolate cookies, Chocolove dark chocolate bar, snack mix and milk chocolate truffles. White wine baskets make great welcome gifts, wedding gifts, hostess gifts and more. Visit their wine basket page to see their many designs and selections.
