In last week’s column, I talked about some local holiday gift ideas like gift cards and tastes of local breweries. I also mentioned Erica Streisfeld’s blog, Wisdom4Winos, as a resource for finding inexpensive, quality wines. Erica, who also blogs at the Examiner.com about Harrisburg food and wine, recently posted a series on 12 Wines for Christmas at $12 or Less. Check them out here.
