Aerator for Wine Lovers
I have been researching on how aerating a red wine can improve the flavor.

Allowing the wine to "breathe" before drinking it may enhance the taste. There is a bit of disagreement on whether or not this is true, but from what I have seen there is more evidence that aerating a wine does, in fact, help.

I have learned that you don't just pop the cork and let the wine sit for an hour or so to let it breathe. Pouring it straight into the glass also won't do the trick. To really get the best out of the wine you need a good tool. An aerating decanter can be just the thing we need.

1000 Piece Wine Country Puzzle
I love this 1000 piece wine country puzzle. It will be a challenge to put together and will look great to boot!

There are a couple of very positive things about this puzzle. It is made in the USA and is 100% recycled material.

I am a wine and art lover, so this will be great for me. I probably would have it framed and hang it on my bedroom wall.

Funny Extra Large Glass For Wine Drinkers
If you are like me and you don't like having to pour one glass of wine after the other, then this could be the answer to our problem!

This bad boy is almost 12" tall and we can pour a whole 750ml bottle of our favorite wine into it. It can be closed up with a regular cork or a bottle stopper of our choice.

About the only thing I would wonder about is whether to get me and my wife one each. As weird as it seems we have a thing about not drinking out of the same glass. Go figure!

Murder Mystery Party
Wine and mystery! These are a great combination for me. I also love to play games.

This dinner party game has everything we need to plan a great dinner party and enjoy playing a game at the same time. We have to solve a murder at a California vineyard.

The game is designed for 8 people and suggests the minimum age should be 18. It sounds like this game would be a blast for us who love wine and enjoy solving a mystery!

Wine Rocks are a Chilling Gift for Wine Lovers
I am seriously considering getting some of these wine rocks for my wife!

My wife and I enjoy some good white wine like a riesling during the summer. We both like it chilled, so we just refrigerate it.

But, we do have a difference on red wines. She likes to chill hers sometimes and I like mine at room temperature, so no refrigerator for the red wines.

She will put a few ice cubes in hers, but after they sit a while they melt and water down the wine. A watered down cabernet sauvignon just ain't the same!

If these rocks can keep the wine chilled without watering it it down,we might just give them a try.
