    Comments Off on A Host Of Friends

    Recently I got to hang out with my dear friends Juan and Nola Palomar of Veleta Wines.  I met them 7 or 8 years ago(?) when I was across the river slinging juice, when they introduced their wines from the Spanish region of Granada to me for the first time.  Juan and Nola, coincidentally live part of the year in Dayton, Ohio, my hometown, and are just minutes away from my mom’s house.

    Comments Off on There’s a Walking Dead Hot Sauce (and a Bloody Mary Mix)? Of Course There Is!
    While it may not seem like an obvious way to market something as revered as The Walking Dead, we think that it makes a lot of sense. The color and consistency of both the hot sauces and the Bloody Mary mix alone make it an interesting concept, but don’t think they skimped on the flavor or are coasting on the tie-in. Not in the least! 

    All 3 sauces and the Bloody Mary mix showcase the various ways Tabañero achieves maximum flavor with,
