Wendys Favorite Things Holiday Gift Guide for Foodies Part 2
(2) For the Adventurous Wine Lover: Lodi Native Old Vine Zinfandel. If you have a wine lover with a sophisticated palate on your shopping list, look no further than Lodi Native Zinfandel. This zinfandel is produced in Californias Lodi region, using minimalist winemaking processes. The six different winemakers who produce Lodi Native utilize only native yeast fermentation, zero new oak, and minimal interference with the vineyards and cellar. The set of six wines is produced by the the following vineyards: Century Block Vineyard, Marians Vineyard, Noma Ranch, Souci Vineyard, TruLux Vineyard, and Wegat Vineyard. A bottle of each vineyards zinfandel comes packaged in a wooden box and can be purchased direct from Lodi Native. I sampled a bottle of the TruLux zinfandel and was blown away -- its lush and fruity with a truly complex flavor. Anyone who receives this wine under the Christmas tree is in for a treat!
(3) For the Altrustic Foodie: Hand-Carved African Wooden Serving Spoons from the World Vision Catalog. These gorgeous wooden spoons are made by hand in Kenya -- and theyre perfect for year-round entertaining. Each beautiful set of hand-carved smooth olive wood serving spoons comes in a colorful gift bag of African fabric hand-sewn by local women. The serving spoons retail for $65 and are made to benefit orphans of the Kamba tribe in Kenya. Not only does your gift recipient received a gorgeous set of serving spoons that theyll enjoy using again and again, your purchase helps out those in need as well! The World Vision catalog has a variety of gifts in all price ranges that help children and families in need around the globe.
(4) For the Gourmet: O Olive Oil and Vinegar Gift Sets. O makes artisan olive oils and vinegars in California, and theyre some of my very favorite! The products come in a wide range of flavors, and the quality is unmatched. For the gourmet on your shopping list, O offers a wide range of gift sets. Whether youre in the market for a set of olive oil, flavored vinegars, or a combination...theyve got you covered. My personal favorite collection is their Basil & Blossom Oil & Vinegar set. It contains Os Basil and Roasted Garlic Olive Oils and Orange Blossom Champagne Vinegar. This combination is excellent for flavoring pasta...and making a flavorful vinaigrette for a salad on the side. O Olive Oil and Vinegars can be purchased online and at select stores across the country. Right now, O is offering free shipping on all orders of $60 or more...so its the perfect time to try their products!
(5) For the Foodie Who Loves to Try New Foods: Love with Food Sampler Boxes. Some food lovers want to be among the first to try the latest food products. A Love With Food lets them do just that! Each month, Love with Food hand selects a variety of great new food items and sends them to subscribers. Each box also donates a meal to a hungry child in the United States. Their motto is Snack Smart. Do Good...making Love with Food a win-win situation all the way around! Each months box features at least 8 items comes in three different price ranges and categories: a Tasting Box, a Deluxe Box, and a Gluten Free Box. You can give your recipient a subscription for 3 months, 6 months, or an entire year. Whatever fits your budget or dietary concerns, theyve got you covered! Its so fun to receive the monthly box in the mail and open it up to see whats inside. Its like Christmas every single month!!!
