4 Perfect Baskets for International Picnic Day
Picnic at Ascot Pinot Wine & Cheese Cooler for Two
This isn’t your granny's picnic basket. This backpack-style carryall lets you bring your wine and cheese stash (complete with knife, cutting board and carved metal stopper) along for the ride. While the inner cooler was designed with holsters for up to two bottles and two glasses, we spy plenty of room to squeeze in one more round (or, say, a baguette or bottle of water), should the situation call for it. Available at thepicnicworld.com, $54.40.
