This was sent to my parents who NEVER complain about a gift. I asked them how the basket was and got this reply:

"Hate to write this but must tell the truth; even if it is against my principles.
Presentation--superb
Appearance--terrific
Packaging--excellent and very deceptive
Most of the attractive packages were many multiples of the size of the contents. Very deceptive. Some of the contents looked more like mini samples; miniscule. Some were excellent flavor and quality. Too many though seemed to be inexpensive fillers; imitation/artificial flavors; etc., for instance, the camembert was a processed cheese--rubber, tasteless variety; the smoked salmon was poor quality, inedible. I don't think that their buyer is paying enough attention to the quality of the ingredients and origin sources. Size doesn't really mean anything if the quality is there.
It had interesting items, but too many were like poor imitations of the real 'stuff'.
Sorry, but don't order from them again."

I won't....

This was a delight to receive! It was delivered fast and was packaged beautifully! There is a little something for everyone and everything is fresh and delicious. I plan on ordering for friends and office for the holidays!

My mother was so impressed wth this basket that she is still writing down its virtues to me. I am fudging by publishing my mom's total delight early. She is a great cook, so snack foods such as these must be good to please her palate. SHE HAS RAVED FROM DAY 1 ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD, THE QUICK DELIVERY, AND THE USEFUL BASKET IT ALL CAME IN.

If you want to treat a friend like royalty, send them one of these.

This item is very nice. I sent it to my mother and she was thrilled to recieve it. all the products were fresh and very flavorfull.

We ordered a gift basket for the holiday for my sales team. Even though I paid for - and they guaranteed - delivery before Christmas, only 2 of the 8 I ordered have been received to date (12-29). Although Wine Country Basket credited back my shipping - what was most important was the timing of the delivery. Also, the majority of my sales team think that I did not include them.

We will not use this website again. Business gifts are too important to risk this extremely poor service.

This Holiday gift basket was erroneously shipped to me in NY, on December 20th, instead of to my Aunt and Uncle in Florida. I called Wine Country Gift Baskets and, without any questions whatsoever, they apologized and shipped the same basket overnight to my relatives.They told me to keep the one they had sent to me in error. The most I had expected from them was a Fedex shipping number that would enable me to ship the item to Florida at their expense. What I got was real customer service.

I sent this to my Mother-in-law for Mother's day and she loved it. There was a good variety of items in the basket. She had some slight issues with the packaging itself, had it not been for that I would give this item 5 stars instead of 4. Overall, I would give this gift again.

The basket was shipped quickly and arrived on time. It was beautifully arranged and all the items were fresh and delicious.

As I live in Brazil and wanted to send a nice Thanksgiving gift to a good friend in Boston I chose the "Connoisseur" basket. It is not the first time I use Amazon, which I trust very much, and it did not fail this time.
However, when my friend received her present she called to thank me saying that the external aspect of box was lovely, but as she told me, kind of reluctantly, some of the items ( dark chocolate coins was one item i remember) were so small that looked like free samples. As I insisted, she added that most of the items althought delicious and a good selection also looked like samples. Of course when purchasing I could only rely on the picture I saw on my computer screen, a lovely and elegant basket, where products seem to have a "normal" or at least regular sizes.
Another thing that could be improved is the tracking of this particular product. Different from other items I have purchased which could be checked through computer until they had reached final destiny, this time I only had a rough idea of the date it would arrive, and as it was supposed to be a surprise, I had to wait until I was told it was sent to the right address

I ordered this basket 3 weeks before christmas and it was not delivered. I began to get worried 3 days before christmas when it wasn't delivered. I checked the order and it said the basket wasn't available. Know one contacted me. I had to pay for overnight postage with another company to get a gift delivered before christmas. I won't order from this company again.
