Gifts Your Wino Will Love

Being surrounded by wine country, most of us in Santa Barbara know someone who only wants wine and wine paraphernalia for Christmas. To help you make that person smile this season, we asked Bob Wesley of The Winehound (1221 Chapala St.) and David Cable of East Beach Wine in La Arcada Court (1114 State St., Ste. 24) for some gift advice, and then threw in a few special selections of our own.
