Ultimate Champagne & Caviar Gift Gift Review

$599.95 at GiftTree.com

Nothing says luxurious like Champagne and caviar (except maybe if it came in a gold-plated box, but that's a bit much, no?) and this gift presentation really punches up the excitement factor for such a generous bestowal. If Veuve Cliquot isn't your favorite luxury champagne, you have several more to choose from (see the Gift Details section). While they're sipping on that Champagne they'll be creating perfect mouthfuls of Osetra caviar and creme fraiche on top of handmade Russian blini, served on elegant mother-of-pearl plates with mother-of-pearl spoons (these are necessary for caviar because other serving materials interact poorly with the caviar, ruining the taste).

Gift Details

• A bottle of Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Champagne 2006
• 2 oz of the finest sustainably harvested Osetra caviar, packed fresh and guaranteed. Held at 26 degrees until shipment, it arrives in our unique chill pack designed specially for this gift
• Mother-of-pearl and sterling silver caviar service set for two
• 8 oz chilled Creme Fraiche
• 36-pack Russian Handmade Bilinis
• A personal gift card held in place on one of the interior lids with a beautiful wax seal
• You will be given the opportunity to select an exact delivery date. If sending to a residence, we will make a discreet telephone call to verify that someone 21 yrs or older will be home to accept the delivery.

2013 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Private Cellar Gift Set Gift Review

$399.95 at GiftTree.com

Giving a fine wine to a serious wine connoisseur is a lovely gesture but tricky business. Typically it's hard to buy for serious wine drinkers because they know more than you do about wine and about what they like. An exception to this rule is when you buy wine from the Fine Wine Collection at Gift Tree, where simply put, you can't go wrong. That said, these gifts are pricey and reflect the stature of the wines as well as the elegant and refined presentation you can expect in every Gift Tree gift.

Bonus: If Caymus Cab doesn't make you go weak in the knees, you can pick from a huge number of other ultra-premium well-known wines to feature in the wood gift box alongside the Riedel Vinum XL glasses and other goodies.

Gift Details

This superior wine gift presentation is guaranteed to impress. A bottle of Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 is delivered in a striking Napa "wine box" presentation with a pair of Riedel Vinum XL glasses. This custom made wooden gift box is a joy in itself with its dual sliding lids and accompanying gift items. A grand impression is made from the moment the recipient opens the first lid to discover your personal gift card affixed with a wax seal.

Any discerning wine drinker will also recognize the quality of two Vinum XL Riedel glasses and appreciate the unique dachshund-shaped pewter cork toy. Delectable Chocolates from Sanders Fine Chocolatiers and a classic, handmade wine opener round out this superlative gift, leaving a lasting memory of your thoughtfulness.

About the 2012 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon

• The super fine 2012 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, from a superior year in the North Coast of California, shows incredible synergy of the elements: fruit, earth and wood. Everything here works so well, the wines high tannin levels are wrapped nicely with the wine's nicely extracted fruit. Make no mistake this wine represents Napa Valley royalty at its best.
• A rich, dense ruby color, hints at the dark fruit nose of blackberry and currant that carries through to the palate, interwoven with complex aromas of black licorice, anise and cr?me de cassis. On the palate, the wine opens up to reveal an earthiness, with brown spice, cigar box and ripe dark fruits that linger throughout the extracted and long finish. The texture is opulent and rich, yet has a velvety quality with supple density. Rich, fine-grained tannins are balanced with ripe fruit, acidity and oak.
• Cellaring: Enjoy now through 2026.
