With no scientific data behind this but from opinions I\u2019ve heard, please don\u2019t plan on giving your dad a traditional tie.<\/p>\n<p>I know for a fact that the last thing Terry would want would be a tie. Sure he wears a tie for necessary occasions i.e. weddings,\u00a0 etc. But after spending his elementary through high school years wearing a dress shirt and tie &#8211; the last thing he would like is a tie. Of course all of this doesn\u2019t mean he wouldn\u2019t appreciate a phone call from each of his children on Father\u2019s Day or anytime throughout the year. It\u2019s nice to be remembered!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So if you are not going to get your father the dreaded tie, below are a few ideas to consider.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Time: If you have time this weekend and live near your dad, why not plan a dinner or lunch in his honor. If he enjoys a glass of wine, add a glass of wine to the meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Perhaps bake a cake for Dad. Check out some of the cake recipes on the Wine Trail Traveler recipe site that use fruit wines as an ingredient. They are super easy &#8211; using a box cake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit a winery. Some wineries feature special events\/dinners for Father\u2019s Day. Check out the Father\u2019s Day Winemaker\u2019s Dinner at <a href=\"http:\/\/pearmundcellars.com\">Pearmund Cellars <\/a>in northern Virginia this weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>For Dads who like to cook, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apresvin.com\">Apr\u00e9sVin<\/a> a boutique company that produces varietal grape seed oils.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A quality, not necessarily expensive red or white wine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If he enjoys sparkling wines, consider a cava from Spain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Stemware (look for inexpensive stemware\u00a0that has a thin lip (rim)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A wine book<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A travel book about visiting wineries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hope you and your father have a wonderful weekend this Father\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n<p>Kathy<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Father's Day Ideas for 2015!\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=11455\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Father\u2019s Day almost here, have you decided what to do for your father this year?
