The Sommelier’s Wine chiller can chill or warm 26 different types of red and white wines, and even champagne to the perfect serving temperature. The cooler fits most wine and champagne bottles.

The LED screen shows the current and target temperatures, (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) and an alarm sounds when that temperature is reached. The temperature is then maintained until you turn the unit off.

You can buy the Sommelier’s Wine Chiller at Brookstone.

My friend has something very similar to this, and let me tell you, it really is like getting your drink from a restaurant or bar. Having the ice shaved properly, instead of just sort of ground up in a blender makes all the difference.

Not having to stand at the bar the whole time and make drinks for everyone instead of being a part of the party yourself is important too.

You can buy the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker from My Secret Pantry.

“Be the hit of your next party with restaurant quality frozen drinks from the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker. Our secret - it automatically shaves ice & then blends your favorite ingredients for consistent results. The Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker combines professional ice-shaving capability with inspired design including key lime coloring, maritime markings and shark fin indicator lights. Unlike a blender, the Frozen Concoction Maker shaves ice and blends it with your favorite ingredients for consistent results, creating restaurant-style drinks. And to keep you from being chained to the bar, automated settings are pre-programmed to shave and blend 1,2, or 3 drinks effortlessly in seconds. The Concoction Maker does all the work and you get all the credit.”

What I like best about this fountain, though, is that you can use it with cheese and other types of sauces. Not that I can think of anything that would be more fun than chocolate, though.
