Oxiclean. There’s bound to be spills.

For a food item, you could go with a loaf of crusty bread and a nice bottle of balsamic and olive oil dipper.

For a little gift, there are wine charms for peoples’ glasses.

All the previous ideas are great too.

A beautiful wine cork. They make some really unique ones that come in little velvet bags.

An Orchid Plant. Its a nice host gift. Also, I might bring her a nice bottle of wine with a description and a note card: For her enjoyment. That way she knows it is a seperate gift. Cheeses are nice, but unless you know what wines will be showcased, you run the risk of ruining the cheese and the wine. Besides, this wine tasting event is her event. I’m sure she has already planned the foods in accordinance with the wines. Perhaps a wine tasting journal/notebook-so she can record her wines and her wine tasting experiences.
I do a lot of wine and small plates parties. While I think that everyones suggestions are great, I also think that they are a bit presumptous. Hence, if you are going to bring a food gift, and youknow she will be using it at the party, find out what varietals she wil be serving. Sorry for being so harsh everyone!

Good luck!

There are a lot of really good answers for this one, I think the only thing I could add would be a nice selection of roasted nut-meats, mostly for looks, as you’ll be busy tasting…

If the party is a pot luck party then you will want to bring something edible like olives with herbs, or a nice type of cheese. You might also want to take them a nice sweet for after the meal. Then there is always the safest solution… flowers.
