Many a great blessing says that we drink not to fill emptiness, but to celebrate fullness. Those moments that call for a toast, a raising of the glass, indeed can be some of our fullest and most memorable. A wedding, a friend’s accomplishment, a colleague’s retirement, even just the joy of gathering with those we love at the holidays.

This kind of joie de vivre has a place in everyone’s life. Whether that glass is filled with sparkling cider or juice or fine wine, the spirit of savoring what life brings, in the company of others, is one of the greatest gifts of being human. “To you!”, “To this moment!”, “To Love!”: These expressions stay with us and carry us through the other days of work and rhythmic tending to all we’ve created. These are the high points.

A wine present gives an anticipated hint to sharing these kinds of moments together. It almost says, “Look forward to celebrating a rare moment with you!”. These gifts for wine lovers are like the promise of being there to share in the fulfillment of this current cycle, together.
