I vote for the Bacchus Wine Tasting Gift Basket.

http://www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com/images/Products/Wine-Gift-Baskets/Bacchus-Wine-Tasting-Party.jpg

Why? Because then Cindy could use the set up to vote and remember her favorite wines from all of the other wine merchants on SR ;). It has enough for 8 people to participate so Cindy could invite Tricia down or Traci over for a wine party. Plus it is named after the Roman god of wine - Bacchus (who has a fabulous superkrewe Mardi Gras parade) so how could you go wrong?


Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, designed this party for novices and connoisseurs. This Bacchus Wine Tasting Party is a great party theme and gift for all occasions. Fun and informative with never-ending conversation and laughs, make this an evening everyone will enjoy. All that's needed is the wine and glasses!

Ingredients:
? Comprehensive Host Planning Guide - Helps you plan the party, invite the guests, set teh table, select the wines, and lead the tasting.
? 8 Decorative Wine Country Tasting Placements.
? 5 Wine Bags and Twist Ties.
? 8 Guest Wine Scoring Booklets - Including Tasting Guidlines and Summary Sheet.
? Web Accessible Party Invitations.

Sure to be any coffee and chocolate lovers favorite selection, this basket is filled with delectable gourmet treasures such as Java Dream Cookies from Catamount Cookies, an array of coffees that will tantalize your taste buds and to stir things up, Swirl chocolate spoons brought to you by Chocoholics.

I admit, I dont' care for alcohol, so I really can't tell the difference between any of it, but wine is definitely Cindy, and the chocolate would be one of Tricia's favorites as well. I think she'd be willing to take the chocolate part if you don't like it, Cindy!
