Gourmand Gift Guide 2018

Here are some fun finds I have come across recently that I think would make lovely gifts for your favourite host(ess) or gourmand.

gift guide 18- aperatif and vermouth

These new hardcover books are an ode to the aperitif and while I’m sure they are chock full of interesting info that would captivate any mixologist, I am totally smitten with the beautiful retro covers.

The Book Of Vermouth: A Bartender And A Winemaker Celebrate The World’s Greatest Aperitif byShaun Byrne, Gilles Lapalus, $33.59 and Aperitif: A Spirited Guide To The Drinks, History And Culture Of The Aperitif by Kate Hawkings, $26.74, Indigo

It took less than five minutes to assemble and over fifteen minutes to get over the fact that it cost less than twenty-five dollars.
