Here at Chow Bella, we understand how important it is to give (and receive) the perfect foodie gift. So this season, we're helping out by offering 21 food- and drink-focused gift suggestions, one each work day until Christmas, from a local business or provider. You get scads of rock-star ideas, the dollars stay in the Valley, and we get to go shopping -- win, win, win!
6: Wine & Chocolate Gift Boxes from Dos Cabezas WineWorks and Tracy Dempsey Originals Wine and chocolate, one of the greatest flavor combinations known to man (and woman), just got seriously local thanks to Dos Cabezas WineWorks, the small winery in Sonoita, Arizona, and the Valley's queen of sweet treats, Tracy Dempsey.
And when it comes to a locally focused gift with widespread appeal, these boxes have got "dynamic duo" written all over them -- not literally, but you get the idea.
The tasty wine and chocolate gift boxes are available in three varieties:
2009 "Red" Holiday Giftbox -- $38.00 Includes a bottle of 2009 Dos Cabezas WineWorks "Red" wrapped up in a box with a sampling of treats from renowned pastry chef Tracy Dempsey: Fleur de Sel Caramels, Dark Cocoa Shortbreads, and a selection of Fresh Cream Truffles.
2008 "Cades" Holiday Giftbox -- $42.00 Includes a bottle of 2008 Dos Cabezas WineWorks "Cades" wrapped up in a box with a sampling of treats from renowned pastry chef Tracy Dempsey: Fleur de Sel Caramels, Dark Cocoa Shortbreads, and a selection of Fresh Cream Truffles.
2009 "Aguileon" Holiday Giftbox -- $50.00 Includes a bottle of 2009 Dos Cabezas WineWorks "Aguileon" wrapped up in a box with a sampling of treats from renowned pastry chef Tracy Dempsey: Fleur de Sel Caramels, Dark Cocoa Shortbreads, and a selection of Fresh Cream Truffles.
Gift boxes will be available in the tasting room of Dos Cabezas WineWorks this weekend or can be ordered online here. Note that online orders ship the Monday following the order and that during the holiday shipping season, Dos Cabezas WineWorks cannot guarantee delivery dates.
