The thought behind the selection counts for way more than what's in the bottle.

The Gift of Good Wine

IN MY EARLY adulthood, wine felt like an impersonal, one-size-fits-all gift you would bestow upon someone you didn't know well or receive as an empty gesture. Best of all, the gift of a show-stopping bottle doesn't hinge on knowing a ton about wine, and it doesn't have to be expensive.

Just Roll With It

I AM DEEPLY OPPOSED TO DESSERTS that are fussy in preparation or decoration and lacking in taste payoff. But a yule log, also known as a bûche de Noël, is as spectacular to eat as it is to look at. This airy, cream-stuffed sponge cake is hands-down my favourite holiday dessert. (Ask anyone who has ever been to my house in December!) A glossy ganache bark, a handful of sugared cranberries and a few sprigs of rosemary make this seasonal stunner look like it came from a fancy bakery, but it's actually totally doable at home.
