Champagne Gifts Curated by Ambrose

For my gifts, I selected Champagnes of interest and quality across a range of prices. For a rare gift, the Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame Rosé 2012 and Clos Colin Coteaux Champenois 2012 Gift Set is IT! The 2012 Brut Rose is the finest wine from Veuve Clicquot in several decades and the Coteau Rouge du Clos Colin, from the same vintage, is the red wine from which Veuve Clicquot developed its blended rosé champagne. This beautiful boxed gift is an educational way to enlighten enthusiasts about the technique that the House has mastered since 1818! If you want your gift to be a cut above, the Billecart Salmon Grand Cru is a wine of true distinction, representing the five grand cru vineyards of the Cote des Blancs. It is also a rare find at retail. For a unique gift, Long Island's Sparkling Pointe delivers a fine blancs de blancs that will surprise your favorite Champagne lover!

Red Wine Gifts Curated by Chris

I based my picks on an array of fun, interesting and serious wines in a variety price points. Some are unique and difficult to get, others are a fantastic value for their level of quality. For example the Alphonse Mellot offers $70 Burgundy-level Pinot Noir at a great price. The Chateau Bard is a grand cru Saint Emilion from a fantastic location and is aged to perfection. It is rare to find a 2005 Bordeaux of quality for under $200. I chose the Jean Leon because it is a fantastic wine with a great story. Jean Leon came here from Spain, drove taxi then opened a highly successful restaurant in LA. He made enough to move back to Spain and produce serious wines at a great value.

White Wine Gifts Curated by Lisa

For my recommendations, I chose what I feel are the some of the most special white wines in the store, regardless of price. Some are more esoteric while others are crowd-pleasers. All are beautifully crafted and often small production wines that our customers love. I know that whoever the lucky recipient is of any of these wines, he/she will be pleased.

Spirit Gifts Curated by Harry

There are so many options out there to choose from when it comes to selecting a spirit as a gift. It can be difficult to find that perfect fit, so I have tagged some of our favorites that are amazing examples of elixirs sure to satisfy a curious newbie or even the most perceptible imbiber. All are wonderful winter sippers. For example, the super smooth vanilla, spice and butterscotch flavors of the Flor de Cana 18yr Centenario Rum will impart warmth as temps drop. Sipping Don Vincent Reposado in front of the fire will be a treat. And I have included the allocated Ichiro Malt and Grain, which indulges your spirit-lover with a top-notch whisky.

Dessert, Digestif and Aperitif Gifts Curated by Tim

I focused on libations that are both special and versatile. My recommendations span a variety of price ranges and there are some unique treats sprinkled in. For example, I selected the Sagaponack Farm Distillery's Aquavit, which is very well-crafted, high-quality and will impress any wine or spirit enthusiast. The Toschi Nocello Walnut Liquor tastes like liquid, nutty heaven to sip alone or to try on top of ice cream. The Misunderstood Oat Nog is delicious and will thrill any vegan in your life, or anyone wanting a lighter version of eggnog that tastes like the real thing. I hope you enjoy perusing my recommendations.

The Coolest Bar Accessories Curated by Dennis

We love to discover new accessories and bar tools. The Coravin has become essential in our process for tasting and assessing new wines. It makes it easy to preserve even the finest wines so that the entire staff can evaluate them, regardless of whether they are working that day or back in the store the following week. The Coravin really works. Our customers love it because it enables them to drink a bottle of wine when they want, versus all in one fell swoop. The Viski Smoked Cocktail Kit will delight the mixologist in your life. The Durand bottle opener is a thoughtful gift for anyone in your life who collects. It enables your wine-lover to extract older corks without breakage.
