Throughout human history, wine has been a celebratory drink savored in both social and religious events and rituals. For centuries wine has been savored for luxury, festivity, and religious functions. Wine was historically thought to have healing benefits and red wine is confirmed to be good for heart health. Though not all civilizations drank wine for recreation, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as libation or medicine. In my life, wine is appropriate for festivity, leisure, and occasionally, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the right gift for any occasion. Whenever 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 fashionable gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, meals, 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 occasion to socialize and learn a thing or two as well!
Recently, I found myself in charge of organizing a relatively large social event. In all the turmoil of making arrangements, I forgot to notify one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the occasion, we became aware of the error when I got a phone call from the sponsor. Because of the miscommunication, they were unable to be involved in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule in vain. My initial 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 loaded 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 felt 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 suggest a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is suitable. 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 which include Wine and Cheese Gift Basket for the occasion. Our wine and cheese gift basket is the prefect choice for that special someone. Our split willow and rope basket is filled with Rodney Strong Merlot wine, assorted cheeses, crackers, sausage, chocolate bar, mixed nuts and snack mix. Our wine and cheese gift basket is a prefect hotel welcome gift, thank you, anniversary or even a birthday. Want a different bottle of wine just call us.
