Wine & gourmet gift boxes
If you are looking for something more complete than a single bottle, a wine & gourmet gift box is an easy option.
Each combines wine with gourmet products and comes beautifully presented, making it a complete gift that can be delivered directly to the recipient in Mexico.
Award-Winning Mexican Cabernet Sauvignon & Gourmet Gift Box
A Mexican wine gift built around Santo Domingo Gran Cabernet Sauvignon from Baja California, accompanied by a selection of gourmet products.
It is an excellent choice for someone who enjoys Mexican wine, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon and a classic wine-and-food gift.
Argentinean Malbec & Gourmet Gift Box
A classic Argentine Malbec paired with gourmet products and presented as a complete gift box.
Malbec's generous fruit and approachable style make this a particularly versatile option when you want to send a wine gift but are not completely sure of the recipient's preferences.
Champagne & Gourmet Gift Box
For celebrations, Champagne is difficult to beat. This gift box combines Champagne with gourmet products for a more complete gift designed for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations and other special occasions.
Mexican wines to give as gifts
Giving Mexican wine is a great option when you want something distinctive and local. Baja California produces some of the country's most established wines, including these two versatile reds.
Santo Domingo Nebbiolo
One of the most recognized labels from Viñedos Santo Domingo, this Baja California Nebbiolo is a versatile wine that works with a wide variety of foods.
It is a particularly good choice when you want to give Mexican wine but still want a grape variety that experienced wine drinkers will recognize.
Region: Baja California, Mexico
Appellation: Valle de la Grulla
Grape: Nebbiolo
Distinto Tempranillo Merlot
A blend of two familiar grape varieties, Tempranillo and Merlot, made in Baja California. Ripe plum is accompanied by spices, vanilla, cacao and hazelnut, followed by raspberry, lavender and subtle smoky notes on the palate.
It is medium-bodied, balanced and easy to pair with food, making it a very versatile Mexican wine for gifting.
Region: Baja California, Mexico
Grapes: 66% Tempranillo and 34% Merlot
Aging: 10 months in American and French oak, followed by eight months in bottle
Pairing: Carnitas, cochinita pibil, ribs and roasted pork
Sparkling wines and Champagne to give as gifts
Sparkling wine is made for celebrations. It is an easy choice for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, New Year's Eve and other occasions when the bottle itself should feel special.
A. Margaine “Le Brut” Champagne
Champagne has long been associated with celebrations, but a bottle from a small grower-producer makes the gift much more interesting.
A. Margaine is a family Champagne house in Villers-Marmery in the Montagne de Reims. Le Brut is predominantly Chardonnay, with fine bubbles, fresh acidity and notes of apple, flowers and chalk.
Region: Champagne, France
Appellation: Champagne AOC
Grapes: 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir
Lees aging: 24+ months

Ronco Calino Franciacorta Brut
For someone who loves Italian wine, Franciacorta is a fantastic alternative to Champagne. Like Champagne, it is made using the traditional method, with a second fermentation taking place inside the bottle.
Ronco Calino spends 30 months on the lees before disgorgement, producing fine, persistent bubbles with crisp orchard fruit and rich brioche notes.
Region: Lombardy, Italy
Appellation: Franciacorta DOCG
Grapes: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
Aging: Minimum 30 months on the lees
Farming: Organic
