  • Olive Pit 101 – Let’s Learn About The Olive Pit!

    Comments Off on Olive Pit 101 – Let’s Learn About The Olive Pit!
    ​Welcome to the first installment of Olive Pit 101! This is an introduction to the wonderfully fascinating – and delicious – world of olives!  This week, we’re going to discuss a few of the basics when it comes to olives. For instance: did you know that olives are a fruit? They are! They’re grown on a tree, like an apple, and the tree is grown by starting with a seed. Olives can come with or without the pit, Read article

  • New In The Jungle: Utz Potato Chips

    Comments Off on New In The Jungle: Utz Potato Chips
    ​Utz began in a small town kitchen in 1921 where William and Salie Utz began making Hanover Home Brand Potato Chips. Now, 96 years later, Utz is the largest independent, privately held snack brand in United States, producing over 3.3 million pounds of snacks per week.

    This week we are featuring a deal on three of Utz’s most popular flavors!

    Comments Off on I’ll Take Wine Producers That Sound Like Eighties Metal Songs For A Hundred, Alex…

    Recently, we tried some wines from the Paso Robles region in California – the Rabble Wine Company’s Tooth and Nail and the rather-rigidly named Law Estates.  Paso tends to get a bad rap, and I can’t explain why.  Maybe being in the shadow of Napa and Sonoma, it gets a bit lost, but that doesn’t for one minute mean anything other than a lax in marketing.  There are amazing wines to be had that bear the Paso Robles AVA on the label.

    ​Lodi often gets a bad rap.  The workhorse of the California wine industry – which makes up a large portion of the Central Valley – Lodi is responsible for the lion’s share of wine production in the state.  (All-in-all, the Central Valley makes up 75% of total wine production in California).  Lodi wines can be a bit-too-much baked fruit, that kind of pie filling style that is sweet, jammy and over-the-top ripeness that’s very consumer-friendly but at times, Read article

  • Something’s Brewing With Fab Ferments!

    Comments Off on Something’s Brewing With Fab Ferments!
    ​We recently stopped by the Fab Ferments Tap Room in Lockland to check out the space, try some kombucha on tap (which is a totally different experience than in the bottle, by the way), and chat with Jordan, one of the duo behind all things Fab Ferments. We took some photos, had some great discussions about kombucha, and sampled some truly delicious creations. 

    We’ll have more news and information about an all new,

    Comments Off on The Colour And The Shape

    Sometimes, the planets align and everything falls into place.  In this job, on certain days, a rep will amble into your store, and bring you a lineup of wines that just says, “Have a nice day, my friend.”  Such it was when we got a visit from the Spire Collection, the wines the Jackson Family represents that are the all-star team of California wines.

  • Pittig 4 Year Gouda – This Cheese Is SO Gouda!

    Comments Off on Pittig 4 Year Gouda – This Cheese Is SO Gouda!
    ​This Dutch Gouda is one of the more unique that we carry. At 4 years old, the flavor profile is genuinely surprising, and nothing like what you think it would be. With a caramel colored appearance, it has a creamy, robust flavor with hints of butterscotch, a bit of sweetness, and just enough bite to remind you that it has been aging for at least 4 years. 

    This cheese contains little crystal pockets within that are common in aged cheeses,
