Red is the Color Of Wine Yellow is For Cheese

A Wino's Dream
Throughout human history, wine has been a celebratory beverage savored in both social and religious celebrations and traditions. For millenia wine has been enjoyed for luxury, festivity, and religious purposes. Wine was traditionally thought to have remedial benefits and red wine is proven to be beneficial for heart health. Although not all civilizations consumed wine for recreation, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as libation or medicine. In my life, wine is suitable for festivity, relaxation, and now and then, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the best gift for any affair. Anytime I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming present, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a stylish gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class society, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and spend time with friends. What a great chance to socialize and learn a few things as well!

In all the pandemonium of making arrangements, I forgot to notify one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the occasion, we recognized the error when I received a phone call from the sponsor. Because of the misunderstanding, they were unable to take part in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule in vain. My immediate response in apology was to send the sponsor a wine and cheese basket from Baskets By Rita. For $150 I was able to send them a basket packed with a variety of red and white wines, cookies, an assortment of cheeses, smoked salmon, gourmet crackers, summer sausage, olives, dried fruits, caramel corn, candy, snack mix, fine chocolates, mixed nuts, and more. I believed that this would be a gift that could be shared among all of their employees and I hoped it would convey my apologies for the misunderstanding. I would recommend a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is appropriate. Whether you need to say thank you, send a housewarming gift, apologize, or present a gift when visiting a friend, Baskets By Rita has the perfect wine basket some of which are Wine and Cheese Gift Basket for the occasion.   Our wine & cheese gift basket is  the prefect choice for that special someone.
