Two of my favorite catalogs for food, wine and gadgets that you can still order on-line or by phone for Christmas delivery are: Sur La Table ( www.surlatable.com ) and Napa Style ( www.napastyle.com ). These are the types of catalogs that I flip through as soon as they arrive and fold over every other page because my intention is always to go back and order everything. Take a look- if not for the upcoming December holidays, at some later date for yourself or as a gift for other occasions.
Wine is always a nice hostess gift OR a nice holiday gift depending on the recipient. You can order from large and very reputable retailers such as Sherry-Lehmann ( http://www.sherry-lehmann.com/) or visit their flagship store in NYC but visiting a local wine shop is also a great option. One of my favorite locals is The Wine Cellar located on 23 Monmouth St, Red Bank, NJ 07701, (732) 219-9935. Website is http://www.thewinecellarredbank.com/. Mark, Dennis, Monica and the whole team are super knowledgeable about wine, they are great teachers and are very helpful with food pairings and gift choices. Their selection consists of a wide variety of price ranges from about $10 all the way up into the $100's. If you are buying multiple bottles, they also offer discounts on 6 and 12 bottle purchases. Lastly, don't miss the weekend tastings (Friday 4-8pm and Saturday 12-4pm)!
Cheers!
