Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and it can be tough finding the perfect gift for Mom. Sometimes the best gift is treating her to something that she would not usually buy for herself, like a special bottle of wine. At Capital City, we have an extensive wine selection, and our Certified Wine Specialist is happy to assist guests with choosing the right wine for any occasion.

At Capital, we have an eclectic wine section, and often carry rare and limited release bottles from around the world. We would love to help you choose the perfect bottle of wine for Mom as a Mother’s Day gift.

Because our wine selection rotates, we encourage you to visit us in store to see what we are currently carrying. However, here are some suggestions to help you start thinking about what would make a good bottle for Mom.

• Sparkling Wine- Sparkling wines are the ultimate special occasion bottles. Try a bubbly rosé or a sweet Champagne.
• Chardonnay- A Chardonnay with a good balance of fruit and oak flavors is a great choice for this time of year, as the weather heats up.
• Pinot Grigio- Look for a bottle of Pinot Grigio with a light, creamy texture, fruit flavors, and a clean finish.
• Cabernet Sauvignon- If Mom prefers reds, Cabernet Sauvignons are a common favorite. Look for a bottle with black fruit and vanilla flavors and bright acidity.

Again, these are just some suggestions. We strongly encourage you to come see us in store to see the rare and limited release bottles that we carry. Your mom will be happy you did!
