The combination of focaccia crisps, cheese, almonds, olives, and amaretto almond cookies goes well with the wine. I especially like the cheese and amaretto almond cookies. The flavor of the cheese and cookies will be great with the wine.

The way the basket is put together brings out the food and wine in the basket. It looks very well in the gold and burgundy print box and tied with a beautiful golden bow. It is elegant and will give the impression that the gift basket cost more that it actually does. I believe that anyone who receives this beautiful basket will be impressed and would appreciate the thought behind the gift. I can remember getting a wine gift basket and it was very funny because it only had wine and some odd crackers. It was in a strange basket and it needed a lot of the.

The person who sent the basket was very proud. They knew nothing of wines and they felt that the $15.00 basket would impress me into thinking that they had spent a lot of money.

Yes, they actually told my sister that I should be proud to have such an exception bottle of wine. I still have the wine after five years. Maybe in another twenty or thirty years it will have a wonderful taste. I look forward to trying it some day.

I think that the choices of foods will be a great combination with both wines. Cheeses and almonds all sound wonderful, so do the cookies. I am not so sure about the olives. Perhaps they would go better with the pinot grigio along with the focaccia crisps. The cabernet sauvignon would be a great complement to the almonds and amaretto almond cookies. That is why it is a perfect complement to a dinner party, or special celebration.

I don’t think a birthday party, unless it is for your spouse! This has "romantic getaway" written all over it. It is perfect for a weekend away-the secret item tucked away in the suitcase. When we had our 12th anniversary a few years back, a very thoughtful coworker gave us a bucket of champagne, chocolate, a romantic movie, candles, etc. We really enjoyed it.

I would have preferred wine to the champagne, though. In summary, I think the type of person who would be good for this wine and cheese gift basket would be a bit of an intellectual, a music lover, hard working, but loves to kick back.

This person doesn’t want to kick back while watching the game, but while listening perhaps to nothing at all, or watching a movie or enjoying a quiet dinner out on the patio. Do you have a wish list?
