My Wines Direct has put together an assortment of pre-packaged wines with some very fun "themes" for the Mom on your heart this coming Mother's Day. The wines are thoughtfully picked and will certainly take any mom out of her "wine rut" with wines from the likes of Bouchard Winemaker's Pinot Noir 2007 from France or Snowy River Semillon Chardonnay from Australia.
6. The World Wine Wheel

This is not the same as the famous UC Davis wine wheel (that I also really like for doing wine tastings), this wine wheel starts out with the varietal and then progresses from there. An easy to use and super informative wine education tool, for those wanting to up their wine knowledge with a little "hands on" practice. At $8 a pop this is a "no brainer" for a unique Mom's Day gift giving idea. Consider giving the World Wine Wheel with a few of the featured wine varietals and you are good to go.
7. Vinturi Wine Aerator
wine.com
The Vinturi offers a very quick and easy method of aerating your red wines, cutting down the time it would take to use a decanter and even opening up younger wines that have not had the cellaring time to mellow out a bit. Give it a "taste test" try a blind tasting with a glass poured using the Vinturi and a glass poured without the Vinturi - you are certain to notice the difference! The Vinturi is a must have wine gadget that every red wine lover is sure to love. Price: $35
