I will bring the Wine…

Are you generally the one who, when invited to a dinner party says “I will bring the wine…” ?  If so, this blog is for you and all the other bottled gift givers in the world.  Bringing a bottled gift to a dinner party is very traditional and in some situations, it is almost expected to bring the hostess a bottled gift.  However, gifting a bottled gift of wine or other liquor can be an opportunity to set you apart from the rest of the gifters.  A great bottle of wine should be presented in a fashion that stands apart from the rest.  If you spend good money on a bottle of wine, when it is almost expected to gift a bottle of wine, when received by the hostess amongst several other bottles of wine, the sensationalism is lost.  Present it in the fashion of a true well thought out gift and be original.  Make your gift of wine stand out with an upscale wine gift bag.

Embrace your Anti-Valentine’s Day in you!

Have you read yet about the origin of Valentines Day?  If you have, then you know it started back during the Roman Empire days, back in 270 AD.  King Claudius ruled that men would not be able to marry during wartime as he felt it would make them weak, deflect their attention from what was at hand – WAR!  Well of course where a law has been put in place there is always someone who is going to break it and that is exactly what Bishop Valentine did.  (Now you are getting a good idea of where the name came from for Valentines Day.)  Well Bishop Valentine went on and performed covert weddings.  Of course, when you break a law, eventually you are going to get busted, as Bishop Valentine did and at a great cost!  Bishop Valentine was executed for this crime on guess what day?  If you guessed February 14^th, you are correct.  So now you know where the name and date came from.  However, while jailed, Bishop Valentine also coined the term “From your Valentine” after writing a love note to his jailer’s daughter.
