What better gift to give this holiday season than the gift of food & wine.Whether it’s introducing the recipient to a new restaurant or staying with their tried and true, food and wine will always be a welcome (and much desired) gift. This holiday, local restaurants want to make things easy for you by offering a bonus gift to you (or a discount), when you purchase gift cards from their restaurant.
The rules on the gift cards vary by restaurant, so check directly with the individual restaurants. You usually have to purchase the cards by Dec. 24, 2014 (though some will let you purchase until the 31st) and they’re usually valid for use in January/February.
Here’s our list for you, and if we’ve missed some of your favorites, please add them in our comments section.
