A Big Slice is the enjoyment of life and finding new ways to enrich each moment. It's a new take on the old phrase, "grab a big slice of life". Clare Aslaksen and Ted Field share a love of family and friends but, noticed, as the years went by, that "special connection" began to lose it’s defining character. So, how do we recapture these essential components of our lives? Clare and Ted believe one way is by enriching your life through entertaining.

By opening your home and your kitchen, you open your heart. Hosting can become a potion for the soul, and a great memory can be as simple as sharing a glass of wine. Their site is divided into themes, helping hands that gently guide the nervous host toward the perfect evening. As Clare and Ted like to say, "Life's A Banquet, why not grab A Big Slice?"

A Big Slice is proud to present our very own wine tasting kit, the Bacchus Box, a complete evening of fun in one rosewood box! Challenge your friends to a taste off. May the best wine win! No one, not even the host, knows the identities of the selections. Observe, smell, taste, rank, vote. Was yours the nectar ...or the salad dressing? A relaxed and fun way to discover new favorites. And remember, there is always a next time with the Bacchus Box. Includes everything you need (except wine and glasses) and a free 12 minute instructional DVD. Great gift!
