What to buy for the holidays?
Wine - My favorite US wineries have holiday specials. Tablas Creek https://tablascreek.com/story/holiday_gift_ideas and Domaine Drouhin Oregon https://domainedrouhin.com/holiday-shopping/ The Drouhin Roserock wines have been especially good.
Many wineries and merchants have holiday specials with some good deals on shipping. Check out your favorite. There are some good wine clubs (see Letter Teague's article on good wine clubs. https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-find-the-best-wine-club-11639076030)
A good corkscrew is always useful. Get a waiter's corkscrew with 2 stages for removing the cork.
Other gift ideas:
Theater tickets- Off Broadway or your local theater have so much to offer.
Plan a trip -Half the fun of traveling is the planning and anticipation. Read some travel books to get some background to places you would like to visit.
Donate to a local foodbank; they are doing some wonderful things.
Books, everyone likes to read; they just need a book that interests them. Check out the Foundation sci-fi books by Isaac Asimov then watch the tv show on Apple tv. Try a new cookbook or an old one. See if you can find a dessert book by Maida Heatter or a Silver Palate cookbook, oldies but great recipes.
Enjoy. The best of the year will be upcoming.
