‘Tis the Season?

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

No, I’m not confused about the season.  It’s just not THAT season.  But it’s always the season for gift-giving.  Particularly at this time of year – so many opportunities in May and June for giving gifts for so many different occasions.

Easter and Passover in early spring, Mother’s Day in May, and Father’s Day in June.  And in between all of those events there are birthdays, graduations, and the inevitable wedding, which of course means anniversary celebrations in years to come.

And in this modern day, our family and friends are so spread out, living as they do in other cities, states, and countries; it is common that we are not always going to be be able to attend the big celebration.  As few as 15 years ago, when a gift was required for an event or special occasion, we probably would go to the store, make the purchase, find a box to pack it in, find packing tape (how many people keep an inventory of packing tape?), and then head to the post office line, all to get the gift there on time.  And no last minute gifts then – we always had to plan far enough ahead to avoid the dreaded “belated” word.

Yes, the Internet has indeed changed so much of that once complicated and difficult process.  Most of the time, many of us procrastinators can wait until the last minute, hop online, find the perfect gift, write a gift card, choose fast shipping, and, voila, the gift arrives on time.

Here at Pairings Wine & Cheese, we love to send gifts for you – and you can send our gifts anytime.  Our gifts are unique, innovative, delicious and exciting.    Always part fun, part romance and 100% delicious.  When you send a gift of an A la Carte Selection, a Club selection or an artisan wine and cheese Accessory, the lucky recipient gets more than a gift—he or she gets the full WOW! experience, every time.

Enjoy the season and have fun giving gifts.

Cheese and Wine on Super-Cyber Monday

Cheese and Wine on Super-Cyber Monday

Well, it appears that we all made it through the rush of the launch of the holiday shopping season with nary a scratch (although, there was another customer melee in one of those chain super discount stores that shall remain nameless). And today we await the outcome of Cyber Monday—the day in which those of us who did not partake in Black Friday, do most of our holiday shopping on-line.

Gift shopping on-line….hmmmm!  What a great idea.  Not only do we get to shop in our pajamas (or less), but we can do so while sipping wine and eating cheese. Now I ask you?  Can holiday gift shopping get any better than that?

While you’re perusing the internet looking for unique, interesting, tasty gifts to share with family, friends, co-workers, or clients, be sure to check out the Pairings Wine and Cheese gift category on our website at http://www.PairingsWineandCheese.com/give-a-gift/

Your gift recipient will thank you.

Club Members: Do you know there is an entire section of www.PairingsWineandCheese.com dedicated only to you?  Be sure to choose the “Log In” option in the upper right hand corner of the website (located right next to our 800 number),  enter your username and password, choose the “Members Only” link and–shazam!–there it is.

And right smack in the middle of the Members Only page is the “Reorder Wine or Cheese” link.  As a club member, only you are able to order either wine and/or cheese from the club shipment.  AND you get a discount on your order.  How great is that?

Non-club members don’t, and won’t, know what pairings you have received until next month or so when the pairings become available in the A la Wine and Cheese Carte offerings.  And even then they can only order the Pairing.  We are not in the wine business nor are we in the cheese business, we are in the Pairings business.  Except for our honored Club Members.

Another offering on the Members Only page is the option to email us directly with questions about the wine and cheese.  We love to be challenged about the wine, the cheese, and the reasons for the pairings.

So sign in, check it out, and try to stump us!
