Gifts For The Chef + A Giveaway

This holiday season I’ve teamed up with one of my favorites, La Crema, (you may remember my Virtual Vintner dinner party and adventures of harvest) and five other amazing bloggers to help you gift the ones you hold dear.  We’re not only sharing our best and brightest gift ideas, but also giving away SIX (yes SIX) $350 Visa Gift Cards to help you spread the love.

This year for a lot of my personal gift giving I’m sharing my passion of food.  So it was only natural my gift guide be one for the Chef, filled with olive oils, the pepper mill I’ve been pinning after, Le Creuset because obviously you need Le Creuset, vintage bread boards, and wine.  Lots and lots of wine.  And while I enjoy La Crema all year round (wine club anyone?) they’ve made gifting truly easy this season by putting together sets for every wine lover on your list.  One of my favorites is the Perfect Pairing Set which includes the Perfect Pairings book by Ryland, Peters and Small and the Monterey Pinot Noir (always a classic).  Some of my other favorites; the Case of Mondays Varietal Pack (which I would love to have received today), and the Shell Ridge Pinot and Nine Barrel.  Two La Crema wines that were new to me but I had the pleasure of enjoying while I was in Sonoma.  The Nine Barrel is particularly special (and great for gifting) because each year the winemaking team selects nine truly exceptional barrels of Russian River wines to create a blend without equal.  And like all good things, when it’s gone it’s gone, there’s no replicating a specific year or barrel. 

And because everyone loves a little Pinterest we’ll be sharing some of our favorite gift guide picks as well as some great homemade ideas on La Crema’s Holiday Gift Guide Board.  Now who want to win those $350 Visa Gift Card?  Good luck Loves!  Truly, MKR
