The name says it all.   Bubba will like his wine better in a special glass made just for him.  $19.50 at Ann’s:

Bacchanalia is a wild gathering of excessive behavior that includes drinking too much wine.  Actually, the true meaning is a little racier, but we’ve cleaned it up for this post.   So why discuss it at all?  Because Ann’s new gifts depict the grape and overall enjoyment of wine and we know you’ll like them.  And since you’re just looking at wine-related gifts and not actually drinking anything, you can have the fun and still face yourself in the morning.  (And maybe even get a Christmas present bought and squirreled away early.)

If you know someone who enjoys wine, perhaps one of these would make a good gift.  We have new food books, music CD’s, and accessories for your home, all ready for you to enjoy.  Come see them at Ann’s:

Ever dreamed your home looked like a country Tuscan villa? 

Get the look (for a whole lot less) with Ann’s new Vineyard Tableau:

Rather than buying the whole villa, this statement piece sets the style for your covered patio, dining area, or kitchen.   Individual panels hang from wrought-iron frame in a rustic-looking style that reminds you of your favorite grapes while you sip your favorite vintage.  Ready to go home with you now, from Ann’s, $299.

Ann’s new wine stoppers are beautiful ceramic animals… giraffe,  elephant, fearsome tiger and lion, and there’s even a Texas stallion.   It’s almost as good as a circus parade!  $59.95 each.  

Love wine?  These are for you!  Beautiful stained glass panels of grapes and vineyard remind you of that trip to Italy where you drank that marvelous vintage.  Haven’t been there yet?  Save on the airfare and get one of these for your home.   They make wonderful gifts, too, especially for that someone who already has “everything”.
