We've received some good press over the last year, but the latest blurb about Little Barrel carries some pretty heavy weight. Jon Bonne, a very famous wine editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, has recommended Little Barrel for their annual holiday gift guide. We couldn't be more humbled and flattered.
Here's what they had to say:
"Tasty, Tasteful holiday gift ideas"
November 29, 2009
Having wine on your tie can telegraph your grape love in a klutzy way. Or you could opt for the wine-themed silk prints ($68) from Little Barrel Clothing. They range from festive and subtle (circular wreaths of grapes) to somewhat more literal, like the pattern depicting slightly off-kilter stemware. Consider it a preppy visualization of your annual holiday party. Unlike so much wine-themed garb, Little Barrel has kept it classy, which means you can wear these with equal ease to the office or as a signal to your sommelier as to who gets the wine list.
The ties are available from Mario's (1223 Main Street, St. Helena) or from littlebarrel.com for $68.
