The holiday season is all about eating and drinking, so why not give comestibles while you’re at it? Here, we’ve got recommendations for cherry-blossom soy sauce, serious charcuterie, and a local lamb share. Or you can upgrade the typical “of the month” club with Mah-Ze-Dahr’s gourmet cookie subscription or SafeCatch’s monthly deliveries of sustainable tuna. And, of course, we’ve got plenty of booze, made everywhere from Brooklyn to Japan, for when politics come up at the dinner table. Pop open a bottle of Diane Keaton’s wine and peruse more selections ahead.
