Top 4 Suggestions for the Winers On Your Gift List

Nov. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Many shoppers are finding that selecting a personalized gift can be difficult and time-consuming for the wide array of family, friends, co-workers, teachers, etcetera on our gift list.  A bottle of fine wine is always appreciated as a thoughtful and unique gift; however, it can be tricky to choose just the right wine to fit the personality of the recipient. Here are some suggestions by Fly High/LongSword vineyards from their line of wines crafted in the world-famous Applegate Valley in Oregon:

1.The Stuffy In-Laws: 2010 Accolade Semi-Sparkling Chardonnay.  Lighten up your spouse’s family with the award-winning “Wedding Wine”, originally created as a one time celebratory wine for the wedding of the owner’s son. Accolade is mouthful of fruit with a hint of sweetness and just enough effervescence to tickle your tongue: this sparkling wine pairs with spicy foods as well as desserts.

2.The Adventure-Loving Friend: 2009 Barnstormer’s Red Tempranillo.  No need to travel to Spain, just pop open a bottle of this Tempranillo to experience the exotic bold fruit flavors of cherry, plum, berries, and vanilla.  This wine can be served with a spicy Spanish stew or your favorite barbecue.

3.The Hard-To-Impress Boss: 2007 Saluté Atrevido Syrah.  Pay your boss an unspoken compliment for impeccable good taste with this syrah, which won awards for its deep magenta colors and tempting ripe fruit flavors balanced with a spicy vanilla finish. Can be enjoyed immediately, but also ages well in a wine cellar.    

4.The Vegetarian Co-Worker: 2010 Windsock White Viognier.  This wine, which can be paired with sushi or a light summer salad, is an excellent choice for the veggie-lover in your life. This Viognier starts with a wonderful nose of flowers, followed by subtle nuances of fruit at its very freshest.  

An added bonus for harried holiday shoppers: Fly High/Longsword’s wine is easy to order online.  The vineyard, which uses primarily organic growing practices, offers a variety of fine wines which can be given individually or included in a custom gift basket along with artisan crackers, cheese, and hot cocoa mix.
