Business Wine Gifts

Many of the large corporate companies have started the practice of giving wine bottles as well as different kinds of wine accessories as gifts not only to their clients, but also to their employees. These gifts can be given on various occasions such as employee recognition, success in a particular field, birthdays or holidays. These wine related gifts are also sometimes used for promotional purposes.

The gifts may include wine bottles, wine baskets and different kinds of wine accessories ranging from the smaller items such as corkscrews, wine stoppers to large items such as wine totes and wine glasses. What gifts are preferred by the companies is generally dictated by what the occasion demands as well as the specific budget, but generally companies opt for smaller and compact items such as wine stoppers for gifting. For important occasions or for high profile delegates, the most popular gift is generally a pair of beautifully wrapped wine bottle.

For holiday season, wine gift baskets are quite an ideal gift for a company's associates, clients and employees. These customized wine gift baskets include wine bottles and wine accessories such as wine glasses, corkscrews and wine stoppers. Some wine baskets also include items such as caviar, cheese and chocolates.

When ordering gifts in large numbers, customers more often than not opt to have their company's name and logo printed on the gift item or the wine bottle's label. They even specify the kind of wrapping and packaging to be done for the gifts. This helps the company a great deal in promoting its services. Also, many of the wine and accessory shops dealing with corporate companies provide facilities to deliver the gifts. So, all you need to do is simply order online from the comfort of your home.

Thankfully, there have been some hopes for a comeback.

According to his website, Haim recently reunited with Tiffany Shepis, co-star of the 1996 thr

Which Wine With Your Fish

It is a dilemma that has plagued mankind since the first hook was tied to fishing line and a rudimentary fishing bobber attached. Since the first days of fishing, there has been the question. The question itself has meant the difference between acceptance and banishment in the eyes of your dinner guests. Which wine goes with your fish?

For as long as I can remember, white wine was the commonly chosen wine to compliment a fish dinner. Yet in recent history red wine has found it?s way into the hearts of many. This means if you were once banished for serving a California Chardonnay with your Portuguese-Style Swordfish, you can now come out of hiding. For it is not the color of the wine that makes your fish acceptable, but whether or not the flavors compliment one another.

Probably the most easily paired serving of fish with wine is the salmon. Also to be noted is the type of sauce that is served with the fish in question. You will find that buttery and moist dishes open up a world of opportunities when it comes to wine pairings. Salmon, for example, falls square into this category. You can easily serve this dish with many non-white wines like Chardonnay, Burgundy, or even Champagne. Even a Pinot will pair well with broiled or grilled salmon. For instance an Olive-Encrusted Salmon with Zucchini and Mushroom Stew.

Now this is not to say that white wine has been replaced at the table. It is about the texture and consistency of the fish that lends to the type of wine you wish to serve. White wine is still a traditional serving with fish. A dry wine, such as a Muscadet would pair well with a Marlin Piccatta or similar dish.

If you are looking at a smoked fish like a Smoked Salmon Spread at your next dinner party, try something with a fruity or oaky wine. But as a word of caution, do not pair a heavy oaky wine with a smoked entr?e? or you may find it a bit overpowering for your quests.

The simple word here is that you do not have to fear serving white or red wine with your fish. Just think about the type of flavors, textures, and constancy that will be present and marry them to the complimentary flavors found in your wine selection.

Dean Carl has enjoyed both fishing and dining on fish with family and friends nearly all of his life. Dean feels sharing fishing stories and reliving the ?one that got away? is a necessary part to enjoying the great sport of fishing we enjoy today. His memories of fishing stories over dinner are an important part of his heritage. This article has been shared courtesy of www.thefishingbobber.com and www.fishrecipesworld.com

32nd Monterey Wine Festival Earns It’s “Classic” Reputation

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 23:01:06 -0800
Almost forty years ago after being involved in a motocross racing accident that landed me in a full cast on my left leg, I made the bold decision to hitch hike to San Francisco. Three days later, I was enjoying the California sun and the Golden Gate Park lifestyle. That plaster cast grew tiresome and while on the beach in Monterey I cut that thing off, built up my strength trudging through the sand and eventually hobbled back to Memphis. Monterey has always held a special place in my memo

How to Build a Cheese Plate

On Monday night J. and I went to a great cheese tasting led by Taylor Cocalis of Murray’s Cheese. I have to mention her by name because she was full of cool bits of information and great tips about cheese selection and tasting. For instance, she touched on the impact of retro-nasal input on cheese tasting — if you aerate your cheese by opening your mouth slightly and breathing in while the cheese is on your tongue (similar to the way you taste wine), you’re both smelling it and tasting it at th
