Premium Gift Baskets with Wine Pairings Offered in Harry & David Catalogs and on Website for Holidays

Harry & David, the nation's leading retailer for premium food gifts, today announced a partnership with Wine.com to offer exclusive food and wine gifts.

Premium food and wine gifts are available now, in time for the holidays, at harryanddavid.com and also in catalogs that are arriving in homes nationally.
Harry & David is the marketing agent for food and wine gift baskets that provide exclusive premium food gifts, including Moose Munch(R) confection, award winning chocolates and other treats in gift baskets that will range in price from $49.95 to $299.95. Wine.com will provide premium and ultra-premium wines and its network of licensed retail wine warehouses will distribute the gifts.

"Like Harry & David, Wine.com is known for its excellent products and service. We are pleased to present to our customers these premium wines along with our Harry & David's holiday favorite fine food gifts," said Bill Williams, President and CEO of Harry & David.

Harry & David and Wine.com will have drawn upon a worldwide network of suppliers to hand pick wines which compliment Harry & David's fine foods. Wine.com will use eight fulfillment centers across the U.S. to ship wine gift baskets, containing Harry & David fine foods, directly to customers. Arriving with each gift will be uniquely crafted tasting notes, describing the wine and why it's an excellent pairing with the food.
"We are pleased to be selected to partner with Harry & David, a company with exacting standards, a rich 74 year old history and an extraordinarily loyal customer base," said Rich Bergsund, CEO of Wine.com.

Local and state laws currently allow wine gifts to be shipped to 26 states, where a majority of Harry & David customers live. The Harry & David website and telephone operators will have details on which states will allow wine shipments.
