You know this one. They may not have been a straight-A student but they love to hit the books. When they’re interested in something, they go all in.

Whether they’re a complete wine novice or a longtime wine lover, give someone a fresh start this new year fresh with a series designed to bring them to the next level of their wine journey.

With experts from one of New England’s best wine bars, they’ll learn all about wine, from the most basic building blocks, to how to pair it with their favorite foods. After these four classes, they won’t just know more about wine. They’ll know more about what they like, and how to ask for it.

So you know a really serious wine lover. Someone who has a cellar (or cupboard) stocked with bottles they’ve painstakingly collected over the years. It seems so hard to shop for them — their taste is so specific.

But here’s the thing: most wine collectors will appreciate a bottle of red or white Burgundy, something they can drink now or throw down to age for a few years.

In this collection, you’ll find epic wines from some of our favorite Burgundy winemakers at a variety of price points. Because wine that’s worth aging isn’t always going to break the bank.

They live the good life. It seems like no matter the time of day, or the occasion, this person is ready to throw on some tunes and pop bottles. Their energy is infectious. Celebrate them, and their penchant for getting down, with a bottle of this exclusive Grand Cru Champagne made for Dedalus by Richard and Veronique of Petit le Brun.

No such thing. But, their fridge is overflowing. The cupboard door won’t close. You can’t even get down the basement stairs because there’s a case of wine blocking it. This person doesn’t need wine. They need cheese.

Our Fine and Rare gift box is stocked with edible goodies from our market. It’s a collection of exquisite treats you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. They won’t have to worry about finding pairings for any of their hard won bottles, because you’ve given them the perfect cheese platter.

Includes:

• 1/2 lb Comté
• 1/2 lb Cabot Black Label Cheddar1
• pc Gueyu Mar Sardines
• 1 pc Venchi Chocolate
• 1 Jar Mario Bianco Hot Honey
• 1 box Crackers

After a long day of zipping down the slopes, this one’s legs will be jelly but their spirits will be high. Give them the ultimate refreshment with an après ski combo fit for the goons of the Ski Patrol.

Grab a vintage-inspired Alpine Wines tote and pack it to the brim with wines and cheeses crafted in cool Alpine climates.

It’s a tried but true gift. Pick out a handful of our specially imported holiday chocolates to surprise your boo. They’ll be reminded of how sweet you are with every bite.
