Well, you gotta buy a Christmas
gift, right? Same old? No. We don’t need any more ties, gift cards, closeout
sweatshirts, Snuggies, candles, or refrigerator magnets.
Holiday shopping should ne
cool, fun and provide the gift-getter with something unique and unusual. Napa’s
Caspar Estate and Cultivar Wines produces many things from their estate,
including wine (Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Syrah, among others), honey, olive
oil, balsamic vinegar (seven iterations of them both), even beer. You can mix
and match a gift basket, just pick one item, or whatever you need to assemble
quality products that, I truly believe, will make someone happy. So check these
things out and start crossing people off your list.
Their 2015 North Coast
Cabernet Sauvignon pulls fruit from mainly Napa Valley, as well as 25% from Sonoma
and 15% Mendocino fruit, and clocks in at a reasonable 14.3% alcohol, being
very balanced. With blueberry and black berry, raspberry and violet, mild
tannins and bright acidity and fresh fruit. It’s a lovely Cabernet that
represents three different counties, a sort of “bringer together” kind of wine
and one that at $32 makes it easy to buy it.
Their Caspar Estate
Wildflower Honey ($18) is not only organic, but it’s unfiltered, dark, thick and
sweet with an almost orange blossom, black tea and honeysuckle note.
Caspar Estate Extra Virgin
Olive Oil ($26) is rich and creamy, with fresh cut grass notes and lacking a
harsh bitter component.
