Hopefully you all checked out Part I of my Best Wines for Gifting Mother's Day 2010 last week, where I discussed the perfect wine gifts for Thrifty Mom, Hippie Mom and New Mom.

What's next? Dainty Mom, Cooking Show Mom and "I Just Don't Like Wine" Mom, naturally.

Dainty Mom

Dainty Mom never swears, always uses the good china, and somehow wakes up with her hair looking perfect. She's so ladylike you're not certain how she got through the potty training years or even doing your laundry. What to get such an exquisitely manicured creature? Not to worry, your search is over. How gorgeous is this Rosa Regale and Godiva gift pack from wine.com? A pink sparkling wine paired with Godiva Chocoiste fruit and almonds, all wrapped up in a special cherry blossom box. As pretty as Dainty Mom's matching dish towels.

Cooking Show Mom

If your mom is prone to exclamations like "Bam!" and "Yum-o," is constantly telling you about the adorable thing that Giada said on her last episode and is still mourning the loss of the first Fat Lady, have I got a gift for you! My Wines Direct has a gift pack of wines specially selected by Rachael Ray just for your mom! At least that's how you can phrase it while mom is opening the gift. The Rachael Ray Delicious Wine Trio has got two reds and one white, and you can save $10 when you use our code.

"I Just Don't Like Wine" Mom


I'm a firm believer that anybody who says she doesn't like wine just hasn't drunk enough wine. In the case of moms who claim to not like wine, your gift choice is clear: a nice, dry Riesling. All moms like Riesling. I don't claim to understand this phenomenon, I just know it to be true. Fragrant, fruity and low in alcohol, it's perfect even for moms who don't normally drink wine. Ch. Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling is appropriate for gifting and reasonably priced at $19.99. Or, if you don't want to force "I Just Don't Like Wine" Mom to try something new (it is her special day, after all) you could always just get her chocolate. Sweeten the deal by using one of our Ghirardelli coupons to get an additional 20% off.
