Food and Wine Gifts
Wine and food have been paired for what seems like forever. Different food items are said to reveal the true nature of a particular wine. It is often said that unless the appropriate food items accompany a wine, its true taste and flavor cannot be enjoyed.
Most wine gift baskets more often than not contain certain food items, which are thought to be the best accompaniment for the wine or wines included in it. However, certain food items which are present regardless of the kind of wine are the various kinds of cheese, nuts and chocolates. There are certain kinds of breads and meats which can also be included in the gift baskets. Pates are also common in food and wine gift baskets. Depending on the wine and the price of the basket, the amount and quality of the food items included, varies. Often the customer can decide which wine or wines he wants to include in the basket and correspondingly, he or she can also pick out the food items to be included. In this way, a person can have his gift basket personalized according to his budget and liking.
The food and wine gift baskets are often distinguished by the area which the wine belongs to. If the wine is French, then the items included will have a French flavor as opposed to if the wine is Californian, in which case the items will be specific to California. This aspect certainly adds a lot of uniqueness to each wine gift basket.
The food and wine gift baskets are often on the high end, as far as their price is concerned. If the food items included are of the gourmet variety, then there is no upper limit to the price of the gift basket as such. The starting price is about $100 and this can go up to as high as $500 or even more.

Chateau Gleon Montanie "Gaston Bonnes" - Corbieres "Futs de Chene"
The story of Gleon can be traced back to 778 A.D., when Charlemagne created the first Viscount of Narbonne charged with maintaining a defense against the Saracens. Gleon, at the head of the pass, become a major defense line of Charlemagne's Kingdom. This was a family owned land for over 1,000 years until the last Marquis was killed in 1830 and his wife sold the property to the Bonnes-Montanie family who have grown vines on the property since 1853. This lovely dry red wine from Corbieres, which is part of the Languedoc, is well structured and meaty with lush 'blackberry' fruit, aged in oak barriques. This top cuvee from Gleon Monatanie, France, is a perfect gift. CGMC99 CGMC99
