A Universal Disappointment-Proof Gift
Spring is here! We’re now witnessing emerging blooms, longer days with brighter skies, the rumble and flash of thunderstorms, and invitations to sit on patio furniture outside our favorite restaurants. As you begin to make warm-weather plans, don’t forget the wine! A good wine is a great way to kick back and relax with friends while watching the sunset on a Friday night.
With grilling season starting up, it is good to always have a bottle ready for pairing with peppery steaks and other delicious meats. The house market is hot right now, too- why not congratulate your friends on scoring their new home with a bubbly housewarming gift? Wine is a wonderfully elegant way to preserve friendship, celebrate success, and make the people in our lives feel important.
Local = Better
Not only is wine a versatile gift, but the seemingly endless varieties available mean that you are sure to find the perfect bottle to complement any decadent dish or salty snack. At first glance, having such a list of options at one’s disposal is exhilarating. And yet…it can also feel a bit overwhelming.
Wouldn’t it be easier to keep buying your favorite bottle from the plaza down the road? It’s a lot less dramatic than buying something new, hating it, and then letting it collect dust in the cabinet. On the other hand, the company you’d like to have over soon has different tastes…and if you’re honest, your taste buds are growing pretty bored lately. But where to begin? Where can the aspiring wine connoisseur go to experience new flavors without having to resort to trial and error (and emptying his or her wallet in the process)?
Spring Lake Winery in Lockport is has (besides the wine) amazing year-round events, food and lakeside scenery
Enter wineries! Western New York is teeming with professional winemakers and knowledgeable associates who can point curious guests in the right direction, offering not only specific flavor profiles and tantalizing pairing suggestions but also comfortable tasting rooms and dreamy gift baskets. They often sell other fun merchandise as well- fancy chocolates, fine glasses, brand merchandise, and unique novelty items such as bottle toppers and decorations. A winery is the perfect place to visit for an anniversary, birthday, wedding, or graduation gift, not to mention the opportunity to stock up for your own personal collection!
Wine O’Clock
Since you have shopping to do, why not make the errand a special occasion of its own? From a romantic date with your spouse to a day out with friends, there are plenty of reasons and opportunities to celebrate the best parts of your life. Don’t forget: after a long week of working the 9-to-5, nothing beats good company and a fine drink!
