Planning a wedding in the Philadelphia area can bring many opportunities for gift giving from a host gift at an engagement party to welcoming out-of-town guests to the newlyweds’ house warming. Sometimes the selection at the state store is overwhelming.
Therefore, we turned to the experts at Little Bros. Beverage Outlet for some recommendations. Here is what they had to offer:
Below is a list of the top five wines in the mid-priced range that we recommend bringing to an engagement party or a host gift. There are a million wines out there and we probably could have re-done this list many times; however, we believe the wines below cover a broad spectrum and also include wines customers will be familiar with.
