Sympathy Wine And Food

Anchored by a 750 mL bottle of Canadian red — a dry Cabernet or Merlot with dark plum and cherry notes — this sympathy basket pairs the wine with a tin of Danish brie, gourmet Italian crackers, Hardbite potato chips and cocoa truffles for a grown-up table of comfort food. Hand-packed in Toronto and priced at $145.00 CAD, it's a way to show respect alongside your condolences to a bereaved family or someone who has recently lost a parent.
