Father’s Day 2009: Golf & Wine Legends Published on Monday, June 15, 2009 by

dad-standrews-oldcourse-stonebridgeOne of my favorite memories from our 8 months overseas was a trip we took with my in-laws to visit the famous golf course at St. Andrews.  I remember my father-in-law’s excitement as he stood where legends like Jack Nicklaus stood.  To be honest, being that I’m not a golfer, it was a little hard for me to relate.  But one thing was certain…the place was beautiful and my husband and father-in-law, proud to have visited such a place.

88810lMany of you have husbands, fathers or grandfathers who are avid golfers.  If my husband were to truly take up one sport, I think I’d like it to be golf.  It’s such a calm sport, requiring much skill.  If you have such a “father,” why not consider the Golf & Wine Legends available at Wine.com.  The set includes “three premium wines from legendary golfers and wine enthusiasts Arnold Palmer, Ernie Els and Nick Faldo paired with a sleeve of three golf balls.”  I have to admit that because I’m not a wine drinker, I’m not super savvy on what a “good” wine is.  But, I’ve been told that these three are truly excellent wines!  While not as common here in the states, it’s actually very common in Europe to have a glass of wine with a meal.  My husband, being the culinary master he is (hehe) loves using the red wine in Italian meals.

If you don’t have a golfer in the family but you’re interested in wine gifts, you may consider Wine.com.  The site has numerous “dad” themed baskets he’s sure to love. Save 10% now through the 20th with the code “DADSDAY.”
