Non-Boozy Gifts to Surround the Boozy Gifts

Yes, we finally have our heads held up high, offering CoWineCo emblazoned (what a FANTASTIC word that is) gift boxes.  Emblazoned.  emBLAZoned.  Mmmm.  Anyway, they can hold two bottles of your choice or 1 bottle and an assortment of goodies.  This is the only way to tell your gift recipient that you cared enough to get them some boutique, hand-selected wines from CoWineCo.  Or you might be telling them "here's where I spend way too much time and way too much money".  Either way, you're SAYING something. $6.50/box w/ fluffy stuff and bow.

You know them, you love them, Morning Glory Confections artisan brittle.  It's amazing....take a bite and it's just like wine tasting...you get a beginning taste, a middle, and a long finish.  We have our favorites stocked to put in our CoWineCo gift boxes or by themselves:

Fleur de Sel & Peanut

Cocoa Nib Coffee Bean & Pecan

Thai Curry & Peanut

New Mexico Chili Pumpkin Seed (i just 'accidentally' opened one of these while writing)

 All are $5.99/box

thnx to Gary Mecija for the pic

The Geekanter Returns! Wine nerd or not, everyone secretly wants a 2000ml Kimax Beaker as a wine decanter.  Put this puppy on your dinner table and it either says "I am a complete freak about measuring how much wine I pour you" OR, "I'm nerd chic and don't need to spend $500 on a crystal decanter just to let my wine breathe."  $39.99/beaker  

We also have a whole range of gift bags (the 'sock-o-wine' top-left is the clear favorite so far this season) and wine accessories including the two-step, wood-handled waiter's corkscrew above for $9.99.

Folks, only three tastings left in 2009.  Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat (but he prefers "big boned").  And as we get closer to Christmas the store gets busier and busier and busier and you might notice a general hastiness to our newsletters and marketing blips.  We're trying to keep up, we promise.  Things will be misspelled more, information will get choppy... and we may even forget at times to finish the
