What To Get

What do you give the guy who has given you everything? I’ll give you a hint: it’s not a tie or a coffee mug!

Golf

Believe it or not, your Dad likes golf…even if he can’t play. So why not buy him some time on the greens. Not sure where to find a course in your area? Check this out:

Cigars

Men like cigars. What more can I say.  Send Dad to Dantanna’s for cigars, food, and sports. Located in the heart of Buckhead, Dantanna’s is home to one Atlanta’s best cigar bars.

Wine

Wine is more than just a bottle on the shelf. Your father will tell you all there is to know after his experience with the Atlanta Wine Club. Atlanta Wine Club members participate in events throughout the city that celebrate good food and wine.  Gifts, gift certificates, and gift memberships are available for purchase.
