What the heck, we're throwing our hat into the gift idea ring with everybody else. In no particular order, here are some nifty gifty ideas for the food and wine lovers in your life:

Yes, Please More Champagne: Simply, our fave here at the Clubhouse--when somebody else is buying, of course). The Brut Rose by the House of Billecart-Salmon is a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier are vinified as white wine with a small percentage of the Pinot Noir vinified as red wine; hence, the gorgeous pale pink color with glints of gold. It has delicate, slowly rising bubbles and a persistent "mousse" (the creamy goodness at the top). Swoon!

The production secrets and vinification method go back to the origins of Billecart-Salmon over the past seven generations. We think the pink color in not only romantic but super festive. Because rose (bubbly or still) combines the fresh acidity and light body of white wines with the fruity character of reds, it a terrific go-to when seving hors d'oeuvres, from crudites to cheese puffs. $100.00-ish.
