CoolVines' Lauren Ramos had the following suggestions for making Easter dinner extra (or is it eggstra?) special. "This is a great line-up of Light to Full-bodied whites and reds that will pair perfectly with your Easter meal from start to finish," Ramos said. "Use your light-bodied wines for appetizers and starters like simple Spring salads and deviled eggs, and your Medium-bodied wines for spiced baked ham with all the sides, and the Full-bodied wines for a hearty lamb dish.

Choosing the appropriate sparkling wine for New Year's Eve can make you dizzy before the first sip. Here's a handy guide to the intoxicating world of bubbles on a budget.
The pop of the Champagne cork is as much a part of the New Year’s Eve soundtrack as "Auld Lang Syne" and fireworks. The tiny, tickling bubbles evoke celebratory moods. With so many sparkling wines to choose from, picking the best bottle can be daunting. Prices for sparkling wine range from less than $10 to more than $500 per bottle.

"We have special gift packs available which we've collaborated with Savory Spice Shop to create. We'll also have noshes for nibbling and a wrapping station open where we can customize any arrangement of the Red Hook wines. It's a great…
