California Wine Gift BasketsCalifornia wine gift baskets are a great gift choice for those who are wine connoisseurs as well as those who have exquisite upscale tastes. These are great gift choices for housewarmings, congratulatory gifts for new jobs or other events or for holidays and birthdays. A gift basket featuring California wines is perfect for people you know really well, as well as for those you don’t know very well. The size of the gift baskets that you choose should be directly related to how well you know the person or how much you like them. Buy, or Build There are several options that you can take to get your California wine gift baskets - you can buy one that is pre-made or you can make your own. Either way, the basket should be attractive, because it will serve as the base of the gift as well as be one of the first things that the receiver will see. In addition, to make the gift a little more special, make sure that you are wrapping it with cellophane overlay and add a beautiful bow as well. Amazon has some good options...
Other than wine, a nice wine gift basket can have little additions that accompany the wine. For instance, you could add a wine guide, such as one that tells the difference between the different types of California wines, what they go with, and how to serve them properly. Cheeses, fruits and crackers are also good choices; however, they may not travel well if your basket has to go far. (If you are shipping your California wine gift baskets, make sure that you are allowed to do so in each area.)
Wine related accessories are a great addition to your California wine gift baskets. Look for beautiful or unique cork screws, lovely glasses and other items. If you are not sure of what to include, discuss the choices with the local wine experts at the liquor store or wine cellar. You can find many different examples of beautiful, California wines at your local grocery store and many of them are grouped in categories.
The number of bottles of wine that you include in your California wine gift basket will depend on how big your basket is. If the basket is big enough for two bottles, for instance, opt for one red and one white or a dry wine and a sweet, dessert-type wine instead. If they have a favorite wine though, choose to give them two bottles of that. If you would prefer to give only one bottle of wine and then fill in the rest of the space with other items, you can do so, with equally beautiful results. If you are completely at a loss when it comes to wine of any kind, then your best bet is to buy a pre-made California wine gift basket so that you can make sure that not only is the right wine being picked and packed, but the right accessories and special touches are included as well. You can design your own California wine basket choosing the best wines from the Sonoma valley, and even have it shipped to the recipient, at Also, Check out: Gift Basket Ideas for Men
