12 Days of [Wine] Christmas: Day 11 - Cheese Boards

Doesn't everyone always love to have wine with cheese?  I think they do!  ;)  Then why not add a cute cheese board addition to someone's wine glass and bottle collection?  Below are a few of my favorites that you can find throughout the U.S. in tasting rooms or in local wine-themed stores.

These make great additions to a wine gift!  Just think - a small basket (or box), bottle of wine, and a cheese board!  What a thoughtful present.  Throw in some local cheese and you have yourself a real treasure.  :)  They also make really unique host gifts for when you need something to take to a holiday party.

Some of the most obvious are those cheese boards made from recycled wine bottles (Photos from Google Images):

I've found these everywhere - from local winery tasting rooms, to Etsy, to Amazon.com, to farmer's markets (especially the one in Roanoake, VA), to little island towns like Cedar Key.  Many stores have recognized how popular this boards are, and they make a cute addition for entertaining!  Even I have one of my own that I bought from a local artist when I lived in Virginia.  It's very charming.  :)

  1. Amazing and beautiful ideas for giving surprises to your friends or making dinner parties even more special. Slate plates can never be so special without these ideas.
