If you are attending a holiday party this season you cannot arrive empty handed! There are so many fabulous gifts to give in honor of your hostess and wine is on the top of my list for every occasion. It is easy to pick up and everyone I know appreciates a good bottle of wine. I asked our friend Anu at Swirl Events to give us her top picks for wines in three different price points

$15 and under
* Monte Velho, Red Table Wine, Alentejo, Portugal $12
* Crios, Torrontes, Salta, Argentina $11
* Ben Marco, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina $18
* Sorrelle Branco, Prosecco, $14

$25
* Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir, Marlborough, New Zealand $30
* Seghesio, Zinfande, Sonoma, CA $24

$50
* Ridge Pagani Ranch, Sonoma, CA $35
* Orin Swift Cellars, The Prisoner, Napa, CA $37
* Montinore, Parsons’ Ridge Estate, Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, $35
* Argyle, Reserve Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, OR $42

I am going to pick up a few of her recommendations. Can I just say that I love the Argentina wine that she has chosen? The wine from that region is absolutely delicious!

And if you are feeling a bit more generous consider giving a Swirl gift certificate. Swirl is so fabulous — they come with everything one needs in order to host a wine tasting event. I know of so many people who would LOVE this as a gift (myself included!). To learn more, visit Swirl’s website.
