Nossiter, an acclaimed film director and former sommelier, had his first taste of wine from his parents' fingertips at the age of three. The American expatriate takes readers on an insider's investigation of the mysteries of "terroir," the historical sense of place that makes wine unique.

Wouldn't this be a fine gift with a bottle from River City Cellars!

Ah, the Lee Bros. cookbooks. I can't really express how much I've enjoyed them. They won the Cookbook of the Year James Beard Award for The Lee Bros. Southern Cooking last year and have followed it with this lighter, fresher Southern gem. It's the perfect gift for the cook. Easy recipes with great results. Read my blog post in which I propose marriage to the Lee Bros. :)

My favorite gift of the season. Lots of my friends are getting this. (If you're one of my best friends...close your eyes to read the rest of this review). This is the perfect gift for anyone who likes writing, scent, even wine and food. I can't tell you how revolutionary I think this collection of perfume reviews is. Now in paperback with 451 new reviews and 16 more FAQ's. It's wickedly funny in spots, spirit lifting in others. I know what you're saying..."Kelly, it's a book of perfume reviews and you're weird)". Do me a favor and just check it out.

In the category of destressing for the holidays....a lovely gift would be the gift of meditation with Mandalas. Mandalas are soothing designs that you color. Remember how relaxing coloring was when you were a child? Bring back that state of mind with this ancient practice. Pick up some colored pencils at Main Art or World of Mirth and you're good to go!
