Our First Ever
Gift Guide
This season of sharing lends itself naturally towards food and drink, as there’s nothing more satisfying than a good meal with holiday cheer shared with friends and family. And yes, there can be some stress about the holidays as well. What to bring? What to gift?
What if your decisions were driven more by aligning yourself with people who care deeply about providing honest, well made, responsibly farmed, and simply produced goods for you and yours. That’s what I and the team at Stanley’s are committed to providing for you. Because there’s so much more to drink than a points score or a photo in a glossy magazine.
At the heart of it all, these are agricultural products, as natural as the produce you seek out at your local farmer’s market. Stanley’s is a meeting place for the farmers and producers of superior products with integrity. We have the honor of passing these amazing drinks on to you, but with that also comes the responsibility of curating our offerings to bring only the best of the best to our shelves, and conveying the stories of the people behind the bottles. And what we’ve consistently found is that the best drinks come from people who have a strong and intimate connection with the land and their farm. They employ organic or biodynamic farming methods to create healthy, naturally disease resistant plants. Their focus on farming superior grapes, agave, grains... whatever goes into their unique drink, means that they don’t need to employ technology or additives into their products. The purity of place, of plant, and of their work shines through in a way that’s not glossed over.
We celebrate the diversity of personalities that these drinks can convey, and welcome a broad array of them to the table. This guide is meant to help you match a personality of a gift box with that special person you’re sharing it with. But if you don’t find exactly the right thing, we’re more than happy to customize a box that will be perfect for the occasion.
As we enter the third holiday season of our existence here at Stanley’s, I want to thank you for your tremendous support. The kind words and encouragement we’ve received from you, our neighbors and fellow drink enthusiasts, has been and continues to be incredibly meaningful to me and the team. So thank you, enjoy this holiday season, and let us know how we can help you make it a season to remember.
