Let’s face it, mini Champagne bottles are not the first thing you look for when you shop for wine at a local grocery store, or a fine wine store. Champagne itself has been used for celebratory events since it was thought to have been invented by Monk in France by the name of Dom Perignon in 1697. In fact, a couple decades earlier, it was discovered the English scientists added something sparkling to their wines at celebratory events.

Halloween is quickly approaching, and we all know what that means: it's time to expel our inhibitions. This is the one time of year when indulging in large quantities of candy isn't frowned upon, and the Personal Wine team fully supports your seasonal hedonism. 

One thing we noticed, though, is that nine or ten chocolate bars will leave you parched. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but the point is that no dish is complete without a compatible wine pairing. Yes, that applies to candy, too. 

In honor of Halloween and all the goodies that accompany it, the Personal Wine team broke out our new Hallowine gift sets and staged our very own wine and candy tasting. Have a look at our pairing guide and take full advantage of the trick-or-treating season!

It’s entirely possible that when you think of a baby shower gift, your natural next thought is not “wine.” But it should be.

Sure, the expectant mother can’t start drinking during the shower, but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t already looking forward to that first glass of wine she’ll enjoy once her baby arrives.

Help her get through the last few weeks of pregnancy with a baby shower wine gift that is a reminder of her goal: delivering the baby and having a great glass of wine.
