    Yes, that’s right. We have our very own wine club this year! We ship to 42 states across the US and DC. We feature our favorite small producers from around the world that focus on great food and wine experience.

    Riedel Wine Stems

    Good stems are a must in my house. I’m no snob, but they truly help with the enjoyment of whatever it is I’m drinking. I try to keep my stems basic and have a style for sparkling wine/Champagne, one for white wines, and one for reds. If you’re really into wine it may help to have two styles of red wine glasses (a standard Burgundy stem and a Bordeaux stem). Riedel is pretty widely available and solid, both in reputation and quality.

    This is a great starter set. It comes with 4 Champagne, 4 white, and 4 red stems, sold at a great price for this brand.

    Shop Riedel Stems

    My Favorite Wine Stems

    But if you’ve been following my sparkling wine posts in Instagram, you’ll notice the stem I use most often is very unique. My stems are Sophienwald And they’re stylish and gorgeous. I have a set of these for special moments in addition to my everyday Riedel set (above).

    Shop Sophienwald

    Wine Club — Cellar 503

    Cellar 503 provides an amazing assortment of wine from Oregon that highlight the diversity of the state. They focus on wines from small and amazing producers. It’s very well curated and very affordable for the quality of Oregon wines you get!

    Coravin Pivot+ – Wine Preservation

    When it comes to short term wine preservation, having a good tool is important to preserve those fine wines you may want to open but don’t want to consume the entire bottle.

    Coravin is the leader in wine preservation and the Pivot + is perfect for the person who enjoys a glass and wants to preserve it for a few weeks. It also aerates!

    For longer term preservation, try the Timeless Six. This will allow you to enjoy a glass and still preserve the wine for months.

    Shop Coravin Pivot+

    Wine Suitcase – Piccolo 5-Bottle

    We’re starting to travel again! Hooray! If you’re traveling and need to bring wine with you (or home from your trip), then this sturdy wine suitcase is perfect. With one side for luggage and one side to carry wine, it’s the perfect TSA approved checked luggage option for a quick wine country getaway.

    Store up to five 750 mL bottles securely with several layers of protection.

    But First, Champagne: A Modern Guide to the World’s Favorite Wine

    This book presents a fantastic look at the history of my absolute favorite beverage, along with how it’s made, some of the best producers, and so much more. This is a must for any Champagne lover in your life.

    Shop Books

    The Oxford Companion to Wine

    Jancis Robinson is one of THE world’s leading authorities on wine and this book is the ultimate of ultimate wine books. This has to be the most comprehensive book on the subject, period. This reference guide must be a part of any genuine wine enthusiast or aspiring sommelier’s library!

    Shop Books

    Wine Stocking Stuffers

    My Favorite Champagne Stopper

    I’ve gone through dozens of different kinds of Champagne stoppers and these are super solid and super cheap. They keep your bubbles crisp in the bottle and don’t let extra air in the bottle which would allow those bubbles to dissipate too quickly (unlike cheaper versions of this). A great stocking stuffer for the bubbly lover on your list.

    Shop Champagne Stoppers

    Insulated Outdoor Wine Travel Tumbler

    Sean got me a set of these for Mother’s Day last year and I’m a little obsessed. Whether going on a walk with friends, bringing to the beach, camping, tailgating, or traveling, these insulated stainless steel wine tumblers are fantastic for keeping wine safe (no glass to break!), and stay cold if drinking white wine. Mine are 8oz, and the perfect size for a glass of wine.

    Shop Travel Wine Tumblers

    High End Travel Tumbler

    If you want a higher quality robust travel wine tumbler, I can’t say enough good things about Yeti products. These are perfect for going on walks with your friends, camping, to the beach, you name it! These are awesome.

    Shop Yeti Tumblers

    Insulated Wine Bottle

    Pour your bottle of wine into this durable travel wine bottle. Insulated to maintain temperature (so you can bring it to the beach and keep your rosé cold while avoiding traveling with glass!). These are great for camping, hiking, or beach days.

    Shop Travel Bottles

    Wine Glass Pens: easy host gift or stocking stuffer

    This is another fun stocking stuffer. We using our wine pens when we entertain guests. Instead of wine charms (where it’s easy to forget which wine charm you chose) why not write your name or a fun picture on the glass. The “ink” comes off super easy by running some warm water and a sponge over the stem. Awesome host gift for parties or general stocking stuffer. My kids love to use these on their (non-wine) glasses as well.

    Shop Wine Pens

    Cocktail Ice Molds

    You gotta have cool ice cubes if you’re to make a great cocktail, right?!

    Well, no, not really. But these are pretty cool! We get a ton of questions on this cocktail video as to where we got our ice molds. We have several kinds, including these large ones as seen in the video. But these (in the photo above) are more practical for everyday cocktails. They make a great stocking stuffer for any cocktail lover on your list. This is a 2-pack that has both cubes and round balls. We have both.

    Shop Cocktail Ice Molds

    Hot Toddy/Irish Coffee Mugs

    For the warm winter cocktail lovers. These glasses make any hot cocktail, like a Hot Toddy, much more fun to drink.

    Shop Toddy Glasses

    Hanging Chads: Drinking Buddies Reusable Drink Markers

    This is one of my favorite gifts to give to a host or a white elephant gift exchange, or just a stocking stuffer for your girlfriends. Never lose your glass at a party again. 😉

    Shop Drink Markers

    If we find more good deals we’ll be sure to let you know, either via our Facebook page or weekly newsletter. So make sure you’re following along so you can be in the know of a good deal when we see it.
