A Christmas Gift Idea
There are 23 shopping days til Christmas. Plenty of time, I keep telling myself. It really doesn’t matter that 99% of my shopping is for people half a continent away. UPS and FedEx are more than happy to ensure that the gifts arrive in time. On the plus side I have most of the gifts picked out, bought and hopefully on their way. On the down side I still have a couple that need to be addressed.
I just pulled the trigger on a wine cooler. Not a big one. I’d have to hit the Powerball to be able to afford the super spectacular Eurocave. No, I went with the modest 12 bottle Haier. Its not overwhelmingly large and in fact, its compact footprint is perfect for a kitchen counter. There are several on the market, and all review well. I’d link to a retailer, but a quick Google will supply more than a few on-line retailers, many offering free shipping. You can’t beat that!
We’ve had two 30 bottle Haier coolers for years. One is dedicated to whites, so I have it set at 50 and the other, filled with reds is 60. They are terrific. Wine, chilled to the perfect temperature at you fingertips. Now if I could only solve the problem of keeping them filled.
