Vignette Wine Country Sodas Pinot Noir Soda 4 pack 12 oz. Glass Bottles

I scanned the selection of soft drinks at the cafeteria of the Palace of the Legion of Honor today, and spied the Vignette Wine Country Soda, Pinot Noir. I wanted more than water, but not a sugary drink. The Vignette was so refreshing a little sparkly, a little sweet, 100 calories in a 12 ounce bottle. I will definitely be ordering this for an upcoming barbecue.

I tried Cascal, the only other wine grape soda pop I know and it's unpleasant. This, however, is great. It doesn't taste like soda pop, you can taste the wineness of the grapes. It's like a reflection of wine. It's enjoyable and not sweet tasting (but not sour either). No fake sugar, either, so no bitterness or after taste.

I discovered this grape juice in Napa while pregnant. Now I buy it in bulk (to help with shipping) to take with me to Holiday parties. I also bring it when we are at nice restaurants and have the waiter put it in a wine glass. All the restaurants have been accommodating so far! The Pinot Noir is the best, then Chardonnay, the Rose is okay. I like it because it is not super sweet.

I tried (nearly) all the non-alcoholic wine, they were terrible. This soda is the perfect substitute!

Read Best Reviews of Vignette Wine Country Sodas Pinot Noir Soda 4 pack 12 oz. Glass Bottles Here

I recently ordered this product through a sample sale site and wasn't expecting anything hot, just wanted to try it. Well, I was extremely impressed with the flavor, there's no sugary after taste whatsoever. I've tried other sparkling grape juice products from the grocery store--they're full of sugar and have an after taste. This stuff is the complete opposite and still tastes great. It doesn't have as strong a burn as soda, either; it's got the right amount of fizz. I received 4 25 oz. bottles (2 each) of the California Brut and Pinot Noir, so I can't speak on the other flavors, but these two are really delicious and did not last long in my house. I don't drink alcohol or soda, so this was a nice compromise for me and I will be ordering more.

Marukan Rice Vinegar 24 Oz.

Whether you're experimenting with Asian cuisine or simply want to branch out from plain white vinegar, this rice vinegar is fantastic.

Marukan brand is always high-quality, and this is no exception. This rice vinegar is full-bodied and has fantastic flavor. It's perfect to use in salad dressings because it is low in calories and fat-free. With some decent quality olive oil, it makes a delicious vinaigrette.

My only hesitation about this product is that it is often available for a more competitive price at my local grocery store. It may be worth checking out your local store or an Asian market to get a better price.

Overall, this rice vinegar is a fantastic product that goes well with nearly everything. I highly recommend it.

Diamanti Specialty Wine Kit Red Port Style Dark Chocolate Orange, 13.5-Pound Box

This dark chocolate orange flavored port kit is excellent. Equal to the (more expensive) RJ Spagnols kit of the same flavor. Smooth and drinkable without a very long aging process. There seems to be some confusion in the reviews for these Diamanti port kits as to the final volume... port kits are always 3 gallons/11L. I was able to bottle six 375ml half bottles and twelve 750ml full bottles.

it worked out nice, smell and tast as good as higher price kits get back when i bottle.

i think it will be a good port

Buy Diamanti Specialty Wine Kit Red Port Style Dark Chocolate Orange, 13.5-Pound Box Now

This kit came with easy to follow instructions. I did 2 kits to make 6 gallons since this will be a Christmas gift for friends and family. I added Brandy and Grand Marnier to increase the alcohol content and used red wine instead of water to bring it up to the full 6 gallons to avoid a thin port. I did open a bottle to try it just to get an idea of how it will taste and it was very good. It has already started to mellow out with a full rich flavor. I can taste the orange but my boyfriend picks up on the chocolate more. Looking forward to Christmas and sharing with everyone.

I made a double batch and with both yeast packets, it went really dry in one week (0.995). Which was a little fast. But in the next 3 weeks it mellowed out nicely and tasted really good on bottling day which was about 4 weeks. The orange is barely discernible. This cheaper port compares favorably to the more expensive port kit I made a couple years ago.

Lt. Blender's Wine Freezer, Sangria, 9.7-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3)

first tried this at hillside winery in gatlinburg tn. mixed with the black and blue wine it is amazing! I'm not a huge wine drinker, i prefer fruity ones mostly like apple raspberry or apple strawberry from the apple barn, but this was so good.

My husband and I love this product. we use a Blackberry wine or a Blueberry wine. Thanks Amazon I can't find this product close to where I live....Great price and pack of 3 is so convenient.

Buy Lt. Blender's Wine Freezer, Sangria, 9.7-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3) Now

What a wonderful idea these pouches contain the dry ingredients for a wonderful sangria, just add you favorite wine and water, and toss it in the freezer. In a short period of time, the mixture freezes into a cold and slushy and thoroughly delicious drink. Each pouch makes a half-gallon, about 16 servings (or better yet, make it 12 or less servings!).

This is a really great idea. The pouches are dead easy to take along dry, and still quite convenient when filled and ready to drink. Try it, you'll like it!

I was excited to get these. I was going to a frozen drink party and wanted something different that no one else would have. These seemed ideal. Unfortuantely, they were a HUGE bust! They were WAY too sweetbordered upon undrinkable. And even though there was wine in them, they froze completely solid. So, in order to drink them, they had to sit out for an hour or more to thaw. Then they thawed too much and were just a soupy mess. I am stuck with two more packages as I bought the three pack. I had high hopes and was extremely let down. They ended up being a huge waste of money. :(

Want Lt. Blender's Wine Freezer, Sangria, 9.7-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3) Discount?

I tried the Sangria Wine Freezer because I really liked the margarita and the mojito mixes. And the verdict is.....too bad I bought it in a pack of 3, as I don't know what to do with what's left over. It's too sweet, and doesn't have any exciting flavour. Also, unlike the mixes made with hard liquor, the wine freezes too hard, so it's tough to get it out of the bag once frozen. I had to leave it out of the freezer for an hour or more so I could pour/squeeze a drink!

Wine.com Chocolate Decadence Gift Basket

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Ok, a basket full of chocolate, sounds like a dream come true doesn't it? Well, I have phases where I like chocolate, and I have phases where I don't like chocolate. Luckily this basket caught me on a chocolate is yummy phase. And it pretty much got inhaled within a few days.

The overall basket is pretty impressive looking. Even better than the picture listed here in my opinion. Mine had a different type of basket, that I like even better than the one pictured, and I plan on using it for crafts and such when it is completely empty. It's worthy of not being tossed into the garage sale pile. And the red ribbon tying it all together was very pretty as well.

There were several different chocolates included in this basket, ranging from the very sweet, to the darker more bitter chocolates and even a few salty flavored things as well.

Milk & Caramel Ghiradelli Bar: There were several of these in the basket and they were an exquisite balance of sweet milk chocolate and airy caramel. They pretty much melted in the mouth.

Nunes Farm Chocolate Truffle Almonds: These were absolutely amazing. They had that great cocoa dusted truffle taste with the crunch of the almond inside. You can't eat just one at a time and I quickly consumed half of the box within minutes.

Chocolate Cookies: There were a couple different chocolate covered graham crackers and chocolate covered oreo cookies contained in the basket. The graham crackers were ok but very overpowered by the chocolate coating and you couldn't really taste the graham cracker in all of that. The oreos were very rich and good tasting though.

Claeys Chocolate Fudge: Ok, so first off, this was not actually fudge. It had a big amount of fruit flavor which I wasn't expecting, but it was still reasonably good.

Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Squares: I've always been a big fan of these and there was a whole bag of them in the basket so I could nibble to my heart's content. Dark chocolate is my favorite, and Ghiradelli never disappoints.

Ghiradelli Masterpiece Collection: This was a small sampler of different chocolates. The white chocolate was surprisingly good and the collection provided an excellent variety of little bits of joy, as they were so described to me. Just make sure you don't share, there's only one of each type in this box.

Chocolate Non-Pareils These were interesting looking and tasted pretty good. They seemed a standard non-pareil.

Torani Chocolate Biscotte Great with coffee I'm sure (I don't drink coffee). This was a standard biscotti and the flavor was good!

Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Square: There was one of these floating around in the basket and like all Ghiradelli, it was sinfully delicious.

Beth's Chocolate Chip Cookies: These were fantastic! Quite possibly the best thing in the basket. They were shortbread type cookies that were buttery delicious and crumbled in your mouth with just a hint of chocolate chips in them.

Thatcher's Gourmet Popcorn: These tasted more like caramel than chocolate, but every once in awhile you'd come across a chocolate covered piece. A very sweet, good-tasting popcorn.

Dolcetto Wafer Rolls: These don't really compare to some other wafer rolls that I've tried, but they still were ok. The chocolate taste was very predominant.

Primo Dolce Truffle Cookie: I was surprised by these cookies. It was a butter cookie, wrapped in chocolate and it tasted great.

Chocolate Pretzels: Another favorite of mine. The salty pretzel went along great covered in the milk chocolate coating. I kept wishing I would find more in the basket.

Almond Rocca: These are my mom's favorite and for good reason. Some about Roccas just combine excellent flavors into a very delicious treat.

All in all there was a wide variety of things in this basket and they were almost all wonderful. I could easily see spending up to sixty bucks on this basket for a chocolate lover. The products on their own in stores probably cost more than that without adding in the nice basket and packaging. Definitely something to get for a gift or treat to share at the office; all that's missing is the hot chocolate!

Review by M. Reynard 2012

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I was pleasantly surprised to find the goodies in the cellophane wrapped basket with a big red bow as attractively displayed as contents were deliciously tasting. I asked my wife and my assistant to share some of the chocolate and chocolate covered cookies and pretzels goodies with me to judge their taste and they both agreed everything in this basket tasted fresh. All three of us would be willing to send this presentation package as a gift. I thought the price at under 45.00 at time of this review was appropriate. As at least one other reviewer mentioned the items in the basket, I won't bother, but would like to mention that the basket itself was attractive and could be used to put artificial fruit or flowers into as a table centerpiece at a later date. I would estimate the basket itself to sell for 8 to 10 dollars, so that also should be included in the total value. To give an idea of the size of the items contained within, the wicker basket measured about 11x15 inches with a hinged handle. In looking for a gift for a special occasion in the aforementioned price range, I think this fits the bill.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I thought this was a great basket. It was very beautifully wrapped and presented. It looked as good as the picture shown here on Amazon.

First: The basket was nice! Normally I don't save the basket b/c it is generally pretty cheap, but this was a nice basket

Second: Chocolate goodness: If you love chocolate this is perfect. The portions weren't large (like the small box of Ghiradelli Masterpiece Collection) but there was an awesome variety. Chocolate bars, chocolate covered cookies, chocolate covered almonds, chocolate cookies, cashew roca, Chocolate Non-Pareils, biscotti. With the total sum of all the items it was a good amount.

Third: looking at some of the other reviews it looks like the company has improved their product b/c this was a great basket with a lot of stuff.

DeLallo Italian House Dressing, 16-Ounce Unit (Pack of 6)

This dressing is good as a dressing but it makes a spectacular marinade for chicken. We are moving and they do not have it where we are moving so my kids told me to buy 100 bottles of it because it is their favorite chicken. Now that I see Amazon carries it, I guess I won't have to.

This is a nice light, simple, yet flavorful dressing. I've received compliments whenever I have used it at dinner parties. My local Safeway used to carry it--Amazon prices for a 6 pack are much better. Can't go wrong with this!

French Cabernet Sauvignon (Selection International)

Over the past six years I have made several batches of wine from the Selection International Series of wine kits from Winexpert. Each one has turned out well. I attribute this to the quality of the grape juice in the kit and the explicit and easy-to-understand directions that come with it. The entire process is straightforward and shouldn't take more than a few hours' time. I've discovered that with the exception of the bottling (which generally takes 45 minutes, primarily because the sanitizing of the bottles takes time) each of the other four steps (mixing, racking into the carboy, stabilizing, and secondary racking) take about half an hour each. So, with three hours' total effort (over a 6-8 week period) one will produce a great bottle of wine.

The French Cabernet, which I bottled about a year ago, is one of the best cabernets I have ever tasted. It is smooth and full-bodied with a great bouquet and excellent clarity. It holds its own against the highest quality cabernets on the market. And the best part is that by making it from a wine kit, it's fairly reasonable. One can expect to get approximately 30 750ML bottles. At a cost of less than $120 for the kit, that comes out to under four dollars a bottle. It's a great bargain.

French Tarragon Vinegar - 25.4oz - (Pack of 3)

I went to at least eight different grocery and specialty stores and couldn't find tarragon vinegar. Finally found it here. Shipping was reasonably priced and arrived very timely and it's very good vinegar. It contributed greatly to the mustard recipe I needed it for.

Last Year a friend got me a bottle of this vinegar, I use it for my green beans. I was unable to find tarragon vinegar in any supermarket in my area. I was almost out and could not find the phone number of my friend that gave it to me. So I went on line and found the exact one and ordered it. It has to be the best Tarragon Vinegar I have ever had. I have not used it on any other vegetables other then green beans but I know it would be good on all of them. Thank You for having a good product. Barbara

This was a random purchase. I don't usually buy expensive pasta sauce (I'm not rich) but I saw this in the wine aisle at my grocery store, noticed the $7.99 price and wanted to know why it cost so much.

It tastes like Tuscany. Highly recommend.

Wine Lover's Chocolate 3-Tin Gift Set, Pair with Cabernet, Syrah, Zinfandel, 10.5-Ounce Gift Set

This chocolate is mediocre. Mine has a greyish bloom on it that makes me suspect it's been sitting around in some warehouse at too cold a temperature. Aside from that, the flavor is blah, no interesting notes whatsoever. It doesn't add anything at all to the wine drinking experience. It doesn't melt well in your mouth, either; it leaves behind a greasy film. You're much better off buying some good quality chocolate bars with different percentages of cocoa from a brand that you trust, and trying them alongside your wine.

Classic 500 gram Pommery Mustard Meaux Moutarde in Pottery Crock

I first had this mustard in Paris and loved it. It is great to be able to purchase it now in the states. This is a good size crock, well worth the price, I have carried many home from Paris! I can't find any other mustard in the states that has the same quality of taste.

Pommery mustard makes a wonderful marinade for chicken with some olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, a few red pepper flakes, fry it in olive oil... its amazing. Leftovers (if any) freeze good too.

Also makes a vegetable dip that everyone wants the recipe for mayo, sour cream, minced onion, minced garlic, pommery mustard: its so good you don't need the veggies!

I am not a fan of plain mustard so don't know if you can use this product alone as a condiment.

Bon appetit

What can one say, this is the premiere moutarde. We've been using it since we brought one back from France in the 70's. It also is magnificent for any recipe that calls for mustard (forgive my French) like Caesar's Salad. And, you get to keep the pot. I personally like to put in fond memories I had of French politicians. Needless to say, the pot is still empty, but the next election may bring us something to put in there!

When you say "mustard" this is the stuff you should mean-fragrant, acidic, sublime. Unfortunately, the price reflects not only the wretched value of the dollar against the Euro, but a 100% tax imposed by the US government! Imposed during the Clinton years, the 100% tariff on French Mustard still remains on the books-and it's more than high time it came off! Write your Senators and Reps-I just picked up two jars in Paris at an overpriced shop there-at under 10 Euros each!

If you can't wait, though, for the wheels of government to grind this mustard fine, exceedingly fine, then pony up the extra dosh and get some. Me, I'll be bringing a bigger suitcase next time, and considerably more than two jars home with me!

Pommery Meaux ranked 4th Place in my unprofessional side-by-side Taste Test of my 10 FAVORITE Mustards!

RULES TO QUALIFY FOR MY UNPROFESSIONAL SIDE-BY-SIDE TASTE TEST:

1) Must be Stone Ground (also called whole-grain or coarse ground). No plain yellow mustards allowed, I was looking for a seedy mustard.

2) Must offer FREE SHIPPING on Amazon.

3) Must be a regular-tasting mustard, not a flavored mustard with additions such as chile's, etc.

4) Doesn't matter which country it came from.

5) Must taste the best, when tasted all by itself from a spoon. I was the sole judge. My tastes might be different from yours.

6) When I couldn't decide which one I liked better, I declared it a tie.

7) Several of the mustards have won numerous awards, but I didn't let that influence my judging.

NOTE: How did I use up the leftover mustards? I made a big batch of potato salad, stored some in my cupboard, and included the rest in gift bags to friends, along with cranberry chutney and bagged nuts.

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

-1st PLACE: INGLEHOFFER ORIGINAL STONE GROUND MUSTARD because of being the most seedy of all the mustards tested, and the most flavorful. Interestingly, the winner was also one of the cheapest!

INGLEHOFFER INGREDIENTS:

Water, Mustard Seed, Vinegars (White Distilled, Red Wine and White Wine), Sugar, Salt, White Wine, Garlic, Spices, Spices, Xanthan Gum, Turmeric, Citric Acid, Artificial and Natural Flavors, Annatto

The secret of Meaux Mustard was passed on to J.B. Pommery by the Chanoines. By 1890, the Pommery family were the only mustard makers left. Their mustard contained in stoneware is distributed around the world. NOTE: Be careful not to splatter mustard all over you when you open the plastic cork, like I did!

Want Classic 500 gram Pommery Mustard Meaux Moutarde in Pottery Crock Discount?

I originally bought this because of the cool crock it came in. But the whole seed, complex, delectableness inside made me an official mustard snob. :-) . This mustard is so good, I serve it by itself on crackers for hors d'oeuvres. Honestly, you can eat this stuff straight. It makes a nice gift too.

Shropshire Blue (8 ounce) by igourmet

I have ordered this cheese several times and every time I am delighted. It is packaged and shipped very well and is always at the correct point of ripeness. I am almost embarrassed to admit that it has replaced Stilton as my favorite cheese. And it is a good bargain too. I love this cheese.

Brewer's Best Brewing Herbs and Spices - Paradise Seeds

I don't mind doing the review, but I just want to rate it without writing a book why, The rating should be enough, any further information should be totally voluntary.

This pouch only contains 2 grams of seeds, less than a teaspoon. It is my fault for not reading the product info more carefully (though the shipping weight made it look like more and the only place I could find the actual product weight was by enlarging the blurry product picture), but I wanted to be sure other people didn't make the same mistake. Order a different package of grains of paradise for a better value. As for the seeds themsellves, they arrived when promised and seemed to taste fine.

Good Seasons Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix, Italian, 0.7 oz., 4-Count Packets (Pack of 4)

I don't like bottled dressing at all, so with these packets I use balsalmic vinegar and it turns out as good as you'd get served in a restaurant.

I use garlic wine vinegar and half vegetable oil and olive oil, which makes it delicious! You can also put this into hamburger patties when you make your own, adding great flavor to that as well.

Want Good Seasons Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix, Italian, 0.7 oz., 4-Count Packets (Pack of 4) Discount?

This is one of the great classics. My dinner guests often ask me what my salad dressing is (when I serve Italian dressing) & are surprised @ my reply, especially those who've never tried it. I like to make it with balsamic vinegar for an even better taste. It's also great when added to meatloaf and/or burger recipes or tossed on lightly oil-coated veggies for the grill. NOTE: you must decide how much you like to use for these suggestions. Sometimes we even halve an avacado and fill the cavity with this dressing (so as to eat with a spoon like one would a melon) and use that as our "salad". So worth it. Give it a try!

Nantucket Off-Shore Nantucket Rub, 1.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 6)

I use this product on almost every fish that is sauteed or roasted. The mix of spices is unique and imparts a lovely flavor to fish.

The quantity of product in the tin is risibly small for the price. The rub mixture is loosely packed, and there is about enough in each tin for two, or at most three, sides of salmon. True, the description of the product gave the weight of the contents, so there was no actual misrepresentation, but there was no picture of an open can to give a clear idea of how little product one would actually get for the purchase. I'd never order this product again.

Art of Appreciation Gift Baskets Fathers Are Forever Gourmet Food Basket

I sent this to my Dad for his birthday. He said the basket was beautiful and he really appreciated the way it looked. However, he said that the snacks were nice, but there weren't enough of each. For instance, he said there were only 5 pistachios! I don't know if he was exaggerating, but it would be nicer if Dad were satisfied with the food he has never made this complaint about a gift basket before (and I send him one every year or so).

I bought this as a very special birthday present for my dad and what a mistake! There was no food to speak of and the book was missing completely. I will never recommend this item and at $50 with shipping it was the biggest rip off of the century. 5 pieces of popcorn; 8 dime sized cookies; the coffee makes 1 cup; The sausage was 1 1/2 inches long...need I say more?

The picture is very deceiving and looked as if there was more to it. NEVER ORDER THIS PRODUCT if you actually want to send a gift to someone.
