I've said it before... I'm a simple woman (eyeroll, snicker). And because I know you are just dying to find out what I want for Christmas (and my birthday, which is Tuesday the 13th ... hint hint!!) Here you go! 


I also happen to think these would make fabulous gifts for ANYONE! 



BOOKS! 

In no particular order, but in equal desire: 
Summer In a Glass by Evan Dawson
Naked Wine by Alice Feiring
Been Doon So Long by Randall Grahm (I can't believe I didn't buy this yet!) 
Anatolian Days & Nights by Angie Brenner and Joy E. Stocke - preorder 
Top Your Pizza by John and Elana 


WINES! 

Anything and everything from Matthew Rorick at:

Bonny Doon Wines Just take your pick. 




Anything at all that Louis/Dressner Selections brings over. Really.

Wines from the always-fabulous madman José Pastor Selections



MUSIC! 

Seasons Live by Anthony Wilson 





TRAVEL! 

photo not mine... found it here: 

I'm in OH and it's kind of chilly here, so a plane ticket to Turks and Caicos would do quite nicely right about now. Thanks!  


--------------------------------------
And now I am going to CHEAT and just say anything from Alice Feiring's Gift Guide would also be perfect.

Oh, and as I'm in the middle of starting up a new travel business, I also accept paypal donations! :) 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Wine Ophelia!
