Jones Soda Energy Candy 2007-07-14 22:55:45
We are huge fans of Jones Soda
as a summertime beverage, but when we came across this Jones Soda Candy
we were intrigued. We were even more interested in the idea of combining the candy with the Jones Soda to provide for extra flavoring. It would also make for an interesting accompaniment for that patio non-alcoholic beverage.

Dolcetto d’Alba Lodoli 2004 2007-07-12 00:58:06
An opaque wine with a purplish ruby red color. Black fruit flavors (blackberries and black cherry) dominate on the nose. Fruit and concentration continue across the palate with a slight almond aftertaste typical of Dolcetto. These flavors, coupled with the moderate acidity and tannin make this a perfect food wine. More delicate and elegant than most Dolcetto, this wine will be at its best 2006 – 2008. It is ideal with pasta and meat sauce, stews, ripe cheeses, and hamburgers.

Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese 2007-07-18 00:50:01
The Italians are horrified by our usage of this, the world’s most famous hard cheese. Here in the States, it is thought of as purely a grating cheese. The rest of the world savours Parmigiano-Reggiano as a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the “Zone Tripica”. The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks. Just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state; the artisan’s ancient skills and then nature’s own good time (aged from 18 to 36 months). What you see today is just what the knights, serfs, saints and kings of old ate!

Domaine de Mavette Cotes du Rhone 2003 2007-07-17 13:07:53
Today, when so many wines are sold by their varietal name – Cabernet, Chardonnay, etc. - Côtes du Rhône wines are one of the few blends that have taken off with winedrinkers. The Domaine
de la Mavette shows why: the Grenache brings notes of cassis and blackberry; the Syrah and Cinsault, touches of clove and lavender; and the Carignan, earthy notes along with some rich, dry tannins. While any one of these might be too much on their own, they blend harmoniously and the whole exceed the sum of the parts.

Dijon Mustard with Burgundy Wine 2007-07-16 12:53:43
Since 1840, the distinctive high quality and flavors of Edmond Fallot’s specialty Dijon mustards have earned the company high regards. In the town of Beaune in Dijon, France, Fallot still grinds its mustard seeds the traditional way. Using antique millstones, they grind brown mustard seeds mixed with verjuice, extracted from Burgundy grapes. This mustard gets even more amazing with the apt addition of white wine from Burgundy. So flavorful and potent, this is a mustard for true mustard lovers.

Domaine Terres de Solence 2003 2007-07-18 20:17:23
The word “Côtes” crops up in the names of a number of French wine regions, and with good reason: it means “slopes” and slopes make for good drainage and sun exposure – both big plusses for wine grapes. For Domaine
Terres de Solence, those good conditions mean they can forego pesticides and other chemicals in favor of 100% organic winegrowing. The “Cippus” Côtes du Ventoux has a satisfying mix of flavors that characterize the southern Rhône: blackberry, smoke, sage, and a touch of black pepper. It’s fairly full-bodied, with smooth tannins.
