Christmas Gift Wine Recommendations and Ideas - What's a Good Christmas Gift for Someone Who Loves Wine?
What's a good christmas gift for someone who loves wine? Wine is a common gift during the Christmas holiday season. However nobody wants to give a random bottle, particularly if the recipient is a wine connoisseur. To offer some guidance for holiday shoppers looking for an appropriate and unique wine gift, IntoWine.com asked a panel of wine experts to share their best suggestion for a unique wine gift idea: " Chateau Musar vintage red . Chateau Musar is one of the most unusual gift items for Christmas. It is always a surprise to those that don't know that Lebanon makes wine.

It is also a wine which goes perfectly with almost any sort of food, so whether having turkey, ham, goose or salmon." - Bartholomew Broadbent, CEO, Broadbent Selections, San Francisco.

The nose has black raspberries, black cherries, black pepper, and floral notes. Full bodied. This wine is a bruiser! Medium tannins. Great balance. On the palate, gobs of black raspberries, black cherries with some black pepper and nice underlying minerality. Long finish. No harm drinking now but another five years of cellaring
