Happy Holidays!

A recent email from Pearmund Cellars reminds us that Christmas is not just a one day celebration but that there are 12 Days of Christmas.

“On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me 12 bottles of fabulous Pearmund Cellars wine!”

For the wine lover who has everything, Pearmund Cellars has created a collection of wines to celebrate the spirit of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Stop by the Pearmund Cellars winery in Broad Run, Virginia for the “12 Wines of Christmas” Case

The 12 Days of Christmas Case from Pearmund Cellars contains:

• 2011 Old Vine Chardonnay
• 2012 Old Vine Chardonnay
• 2013 Viognier
• 2013 Petit Manseng
• 2013 Riesling
• 2011 Merlot
• 2012 Cabernet Franc
• 2013 Cabernet Franc
• 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon
• 2012 Petit Verdot
• 2011 Ameritage
• 2012 Ameritage

If you cannot travel to Pearmund Cellars before Christmas, consider creating your box of wines with 12 bottles. Consider focusing on red wines, white wines, sparkling wines or dessert wines.

2) Decorative Wine Charms

On the first day of Christmas give a gift box with one decorative wine charm. On the subsequent Days of Christmas add a wine charm. The recipient will have enough decorative wine charms for a party.

3) Wine Glasses

Wine glasses come in all sizes, shapes and prices. Unfortunately they are also easy to break. Why not give a wine glass each of the “12 Days of Christmas?” Not sure what stemware to buy?  In my opinion, it is nice to have a set of glasses for red wines and white wines. Hint: When purchasing wine glasses look for clear glass and a thin lip.

4) 12 Custom-made Ornaments

Handcraft 12 ornaments out of corks. You can find suggestions online. Check out Pinterest to discover many creative cork ideas.

5) Wine labels

For the home winemaker create a set of 12 decorative wine bottle labels, one for each of the 12 Days of Christmas!

Do you have other ideas for celebrating the “12 Days of Christmas?”

Happy Holidays!
