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.

Don't Love Veuve?

No problem! Gift Tree has an amazing selection of premium Champagne and sparkling wine to choose from. You can pick any of the following bubblies (note: prices vary depending on what you pick): Dom Perignon 2004, Dom Perignon 2006, Dom Perignon P2, Kripta Cava, Krug Brut 2000, Krug Brut 2003, Cristal Brut 2006, Perrier-Jouet Fleur Belle Epoque, or stick with the fantabulous 2006 Grand Dame from Veuve.

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.

Iconic Winemakers’ Passion Projects Gift Review

$209.00 at Wine Access

On sale! Save $45 on this exclusive wine gift

Our own experience with winemakers' side projects tells us this is a really fun half-case of wine to receive. One ofthe truly awesome aspects of these "side projects" is that premium fruit and premium winemaking are still in play, but not at premium prices — and these types of wineries are often touted by sommeliers for this very reason.

This exclusive wine gift set includes some exciting selections:

• Winemaker: Charles Thomas
  Wine: 2014 Cornerstone Cellars Benchlands Cabernet Sauvignon
  "Opus One. Robert Mondavi. Cardinale, Lokoya, Verité, and Quintessa. The producers on winemaker Charles Thomas’s C.V. are the marquee names of California Cabernet. Robert Parker calls Thomas “brilliant” and a “star winemaker,” and Wine Spectator simply calls him “one of California’s best winemakers.” The 2014 Cornerstone Cellars Benchlands Cabernet is the handiwork of Thomas and his winemaking partner at Cornerstone, Kari Auringer, whose own resume includes a Scarecrow 100-pointer. Their combined expertise makes them one of the most formidable winemaking duos in Napa, and the 2014 “dream vintage” delivered perfect fruit for this ripe and luxurious Cabernet. You’ll find it at Napa’s Morimoto restaurant for a whopping $29 per glass."
• Winemaker: Benoit Touquette
  Wine: 2014 Teeter Totter Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
  "Eight-time 100-point winemaker Benoit Touquette honed his viticultural skills under Andy Erickson at Ovid, Arietta and Screaming Eagle, and he sharpened his palate through the expertise of his mentor, Michel Rolland — the famed “Flying Winemaker” who has cranked out 100-pointers for the likes of Harlan, Bond, and Araujo. Touquette leveraged his network of exceptional vineyard sources from Yountville, St. Helena, Pritchard Hill, and Calistoga to create this Cabernet that could stand shoulder to shoulder with high-priced, high-profile Napa counterparts — for under $100.
• Winemaker: Helen Keplinger
  Wine: 2015 Vermillion Red Wine
  "A winemaker cannot live by Cabernet alone, though one winemaker — Helen Keplinger — absolutely could, if that was her desire. Just look at this Napa Valley superstar’s stewardship of Grace Family Vineyards (California’s original cult Cabernet winery) along with past success at Arrow & Branch, Bryant Family, Fort Ross and Kenzo Estate. In 2012, Keplinger was honored as Food & Wine Magazine’s “Winemaker of the Year” and just two years later, she landed on the cover of Wine Spectator. But the great press wasn’t just for her mastery of Bordeaux varieties; instead, the critical spotlight shined equally on Grenache and the other Rhône-centric wines. At $35 per bottle, Keplinger’s 2015 Vermillion Red is a stunning example of what happens when a Cabernet-expert goes rogue-Rhône."
• Winemaker: Mia Klein
  Wine: 2014 Selene Wines Frediani Vineyard
  "Food & Wine Magazine called Mia Klein “one of the most sought-after winemaking consultants in America,” and crowned her “Winemaker of the Year.” Spottswoode, Araujo, Viader, and Dalla Valle have all sought her guidance, knowing her touch leads to bottled excellence and high scores, including a perfect 100 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Equipped with a palate that Viader owner Delia Viader called “deadly accurate,” Klein’s mastery has allowed her to fill the shoes of legends like Tony Soter and Heidi Peterson Barrett and one taste of the 2014 Selene Merlot Frediani Vineyard will tell you why. Marked by deep, pure fruit and vibrant acidity, this selection is a stunning alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon and a bottled “eureka” for Merlot cynics."
• Winemakers: Dan Petroski, Stéphane Vivier, Jason Heller
  Wine: 2015 Band of Vintners Consortium Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley "The charge is led by 100-point Parker winemaker and San Francisco Chronicle’s 2017 Winemaker of the Year Dan Petroski of Massican and Larkmead, Aubert de Villaine-trained winemaker Stéphane Vivier of Hyde de Villaine, and Master Sommelier and Harlan alumnus Jason Heller. In addition to off-the-charts skill and palates, the Band of Vintners has deep and sturdy Napa ties, which they used to score fruit from a historic vineyard whose wines regularly fetch $125 per bottle in an average vintage."
• Winemakers: Bruno Prats, Paul Pontallier, Felipe de Solminihac
  Wine: 2014 Vina Aquitania Lazuli Cabernet Sauvignon Maipo Valley
  "Lazuli Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine lover’s dream come true. Bordeaux superstars Bruno Prats of Cos d’Estournel and the late Paul Pontallier of Château Margaux teamed up with Chile’s preeminent winemaker, Felipe de Solminihac, to bring French magnificence to the Maipo Valley’s incredible terroir. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate awarded the 2014 Lazuli 94 points, calling it “especially elegant,” with “very good freshness” and “super refined tannins.” As Parker’s Advocate concluded, “This certainly over delivers for the price.”"
