Affordable Gifts for Wine Lovers from Amazon

Affordable gifts for wine lovers from Amazon.

(Updated Nov 2024) Looking for an affordable gift for the wine lover in your life? I’ve picked out some of my favorite inexpensive gifts from Amazon. Prices were valid a time of publication, but they may have changed since. Please note this post contains affiliate links where I may earn a small commission at no cost to you. This post may also contain some products I received as samples, but I was not under any obligation to include them in this post. I only recommend Items I truly enjoy.

Repour Wine Saver

Repour wine savers are an affordable way to preserve a bottle of wine. I’ve been using them for the last couple of years and the results have been great! It’s a much less expensive alternative to using a Coravin.

Bath/Shower Wine Glass Holder

This Bath/Shower Wine Glass Holder might be more of a gag gift, but if you enjoy a glass of wine in the bath it could be very handy. It would make a fun and inexpensive stocking suffer.

Funny Wine Socks

Another novelty item, but who doesn’t love comfy wine themed socks? To be honest, I feel like you can never have enough fuzzy wine socks.

This stainless steel wine bucket is a great way to keep white or sparkling wine cool and looks great on the table. I have a similar model and it comes in handy in the summer.

Wine Pourer

I have this wine pourer that also doubles as an aerator, I use it for most of my red wines. It’s very easy to use and fits almost all wine bottles.

Wine Glasses

This set of 4 white wine glasses is on sale. I feel you can never have too many wine glasses, but that might just be because I am clumsy.

What living in Monterey Bay looks like. After watc What living in Monterey Bay looks like. After watching  yesterday’s gorgeous sunset on the beach, I couldn’t help but reflect on how lucky I am to live in such a special place. 

Monterey County is truly a special place. While I’ve lived in California for a long time now, and long enough in Monterey to call myself a local, the natural beauty of this area never ceases to take my breath away.

Caviar and bubbles? Yes, please! I had a blast cel Caviar and bubbles? Yes, please! I had a blast celebrating the release of @tastemcintyre new traditional method Santa Lucia Highlands sparkling wine. And what better way to enjoy sparkling wine than with a little caviar? We were also treated to some delicious paella from @emberandsaffron. 

Thanks McIntyre Family Wines for the invite!

Monterey Happy Hour done right! If you and the gir Monterey Happy Hour done right! If you and the girls enjoy craft cocktails, then checkout @stokesadobe for your hangout. 

I’m a big fan of a happy hour cocktail and appetizers, so when my friends and I decided to check out Stoke’s Adobe’s Happy Hour I was pleased with the unique cocktails on the Happy Hour menu. 

Bartender @mezcalito_manny expertly mixed our drinks while we sat at the bar and chatted. I wanted to try something that different, and Manny told me about the latest cocktail he developed - Garden No. 7.

It’s his take on a gin based martini with tomato water, Sūpāsawā , Lustau  Dry Vermouth, orange bitters, Condesa Gin and a hint of balsamic vinegar.

It was a really well balanced cocktail with a unique savory finish.
New menu is live at @atasteofmonterey wine bar and New menu is live at @atasteofmonterey wine bar and Executive Chef Bruce Finch has outdone himself this time! I really enjoyed the sweat and sour meatballs and the Singapore sauce for the poached shrimp was really good.

I also love that they’ve started a mocktail menu, it’s a great option for those who don’t drink or just want a non-alcoholic option. And the mocktails are so colorful! 

A Taste of Monterey is my favorite wine bar in Monterey, and not only is the wine list and small bite offerings great but the view is absolutely amazing. 

If you’re a local or just visiting Monterey, make sure to add this place to your list. 

Thanks for inviting me to the menu sneak peak. I loved previewing the new small bites.

Wineries:
@villasanjuliette 
This grounds of this winery are so pretty and perfect for taking photos in. I highly recommend getting a charcuterie board along with your tasting. 

@parisvalleyroad 
I’ve driven by this winery on East 46 and always wanted to stop! It’s one of the growing number of wineries offering sparkling wine in Paso Robles. We sat outside, but the inside is Parisian Chic!

@tobinjamescellars 
Save this winery for last because it has an energetic, fun, and unpretentious vibe. A great way to close out the day! 

Vacation rental: Kiler & Vine from @stayonthevineyard . This private villa has gorgeous vineyard views and an awesome pool.

Transportation: @centralcoasttransportation was fantastic. Our driver was so nice, and we had so much fun blasting tunes from our playlist between wineries
🎂 it’s my birthday! Can’t believe it’s been anothe 🎂 it’s my birthday! Can’t believe it’s been another trip around the sun! Looking back over the last year, I’m so grateful for my amazing family, friends, loved ones and followers. I really appreciate all of the support and birthday wishes. Here’s to the next chapter! Cheers! 🥂🎂
Wine and food pairings with a full a cooking demon Wine and food pairings with a full a cooking demonstration? Yes, please! I love the opportunity to learn, and at the inaugural @atasteofmonterey signature event we learned all about cooking paella from their executive chef @chefbrucefinch while sipping on @lepecellars wine. 

We spent the afternoon at Lepe Cellar’s Marina winery listening to live music, dinning on hors d’oeuvres, sampling Lepe Cellar wines, and watching Chef Bruce prairie a giant dish of Paella. After watching the paella cook for almost two hours, I certainly worked up an appetite. 

It was almost like a wine and food field trip, as A Taste of Monterey’s usually holds their events at their Cannery Row location in Monterey. 

Thanks for hosting us Lepe Cellars and A Taste of Monterey! We look forward to your next event and can’t wait to see where you’ll host it.
