Thriving, Surprising Hudson Valley Wine

WITH Christmas a mere three&#8208;and&#8208;a&#8208;half weeks away and patience already wearing thin, most of us are in search of quick and easy solutions to giftgiving problems. It will probably be no surprise to learn that, as far as we are concerned, the most obvious &#8212; and satisfying &#8212; answer to that problem is food. Surely there is some delectable morsel to delight everyone on every gift list, whether it is a $3 jar of rose&#8208;red strawberry jam or a 14&#8208;ounce $200 tin of mildly saline, crystal gray beluga caviar, or any of the hams, cookies, herbs, coffees. chutneys and nocolates that fall somewhere in between. The following offerings include food gifts at every price and for every palate, save only those with predelictions for foods that are fast, instant or in any way convenienced. When sending food gifts, be sure that perishables are so marked and will not be set on hot radiators or in overheated living rooms. and in order to get full value for your money, avoid prepackaged gift sets, unless they allow a choice of components and are packed to order. If you buy prepackaged sets, you will invariably get a few things you do not like or which are of inferior quality.
