Kim Crawford (whose wines I enjoy) must have money to spare. They’re offering pricey Wine Gems by ANNA New York that arrived to me in a box that could house Chopard, Tiffany or Harry Winston jewels. I hesitated tossing it, trying to figure out how to re-purpose.

My box contained a bottle of their tasty Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand, two crystal white wine glasses and another fancy box housing the six stones. The $76 price tag includes only the gems — in a box also nice enough for jewels. The larger one I received was only for promotional purposes. A waste of resources for sure!

These wine gems consist of six fluorite stones to keep a glass of wine chilled for up to an hour without diluting the flavors. It’s ANNA’s “whiskey stones” for wine. Simply freeze, drop in your glass of wine and rinse to reuse.
