Hi,

I live in Northern California. I am considering a case of wine as a gift
for a friend who just had a baby. But I want it in a nice wine box not a
hipping styrofoam packaging. Do you have any suggestions on a place to
get the case of wine, preferably with the real case, and or a place to
get the real case separatly from the wine. Thanks.

Hi,
for the fun of it you might try to get hold of an empty packaging of
"Liebfrauenmilch" as this seems appropriate enough for a new-born baby
(especially if your friend is breast-feeding)... oh yes, and if you want to
remain in good terms with her, go for something different to fill the case:
what about a 2004 from the Southern hemisphere? I don't know about
California, but in Europe you can find a few South African white wines (esp.
Sauvignon blanc and Chenin)...
Hope this helps
