Perhaps the easiest and most standard hostess gift is a bottle of wine. Pick up a moderately priced varietal from a local wine shop.
For a red, select something versatile and smooth. We like Bone Dance Merlot ($25) by JAQK Cellars.
If you want a white, you can't go wrong with the 2008 Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc. Mondavi created the term Fume Blanc in 1966 to distinguish his dry crisp Sauvignon Blanc from sweeter varieties.
As for a sparkler, La Marca Prosecco ($13.99) is delightful, light, and perfect for toasting.
