2023 Meg & Merlot Gift Guide
It’s the happiest time of the year! The 2023 Meg & Merlot gift guide is full of wine, wine-adjacent gifts, and other favorites of mine because my signature gifting formula is a bottle paired with something special.
The featured wines offer something for everyone without being overwhelming. There are rich reds and bright whites. And whenever you’re in doubt, there’s always Champagne! Plus, all of these wines are under $50. Happy gifting!
