Christmas may have come and gone, but not the Christmas season. If you're still looking for the last few holiday gifts, consider these ideas:

• Should you need a last-minute gift, we are happy to send a gift email message to your recipient and ship the wine for delivery after the holidays. Just order on our online order form and note what you would like in the "gift card" section.
• Order a gift VINsider membership (6-month, 1-year and ongoing memberships available). We can email a gift message to the recipient.
• Give a Tablas Creek gift card. We will ship the card free of charge and can email a gift message.
• Visit us in our tasting room. We will be open the week between Christmas and New Year's, including both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Know that your special someone is a wine lover, but unsure what wines to choose? Give a Tablas Creek Vineyard gift card, available in any denomination. This can be delivered with a holiday message of your choice, and is valid for purchases in person, online, and over the phone. Look for the "Gift Cards" section on the Tablas Creek online order form.

VINsider Wine Club memberships make wonderful gifts. Choose a 6-month or 12-month duration, and your recipient will receive all the benefits of membership, including semi-annual wine shipments, discounts and free tastings at the winery, and free admission to educational and recreational events. You can order a gift membership online, or contact Nicole Getty at 805.237.1231 x39.
