packsses also s:ll well at Christmas.
Such ssts include one or two bottks of
whs along with some ghssss, a book on
wines cr a pscks cf nuts, she aaJd.
Wines, accordlsigto Tavlin, are the only
thing to give when considering liquor as a
Christmas pre::r.t.
,'hicy as a gift is nothing," Tavlin
sdd. The selection cf a bottle of wine is
the classic gift, an expresdon of love,
affection and esteem."
Taking tins
He said the selection of a bottle of wine
as a gift shows that the person giving the
gift has taken time to carefully choose his
present. '
Mettlen said he believes many persons
buy liquor as a last-minute gift.
Mettlen said people know there will
always be liquor to buy.
When picking wine for the Christmas
meal, a white wine is recommended if
turkey will be served, the merchants said.
Riebe said French and Germar white wines
are best to serve.
Meats and drinks
If the main course is to be a ham, a rose
is the best to serve, th?y c-idc
Tavlin ssid hsrn is usually prepared to
taste s?.'cit and that white wines are not to
be served with r.vest foods.
If duck is saved, a red pino rioe, or
burgundy is best to ssrve, Tavlin till, be
cause the duck has mainly drrk meat.
Riebe said younger people now tend to
drink any kind of wins they like, rcssxdbss
of what type of food is t:ir.g served with
it.
But when picking a liquor as a gift for
someone whose drfckfcg tastes are un
known, the liquor store mincers have a
few suggestions.
Tavlin caid a safe gift wEl always be a
dessert wine (such as a creme sherry, a
sauterne or a port) or a German wine.
Mettlen said if the liquor is to be a wine
for the t a drier wine is preferred. If it
is to be a sipping wine, a sweeter type is in
order.
Riebe recommends a liqueur such as
Galliano, Kahlua or Drambuie because
many things can be done with them. They
also can be poured over desserts, he said.
