I purchased both red and white sheery from Diamanti. Diamanti Specialty Wine Kit, White Sherry Style, 13.5-Pound BoxThey both tasted very similar, not enough distinction for me. The red was lacking, thus why it's reviewed here. For the price, it was OK.I probably won't get the sherry again from this bra...

I received this item in a plain, 100% unmarked bag. This look extremely suspect. I would've felt better if the bag had arrived marked. I have no idea where this came from or anything. Could even be mixed in with normal sugar. Really had no way to tell. However, I bought it to use in home-made beer and it worked...

First, I am alcoholic and former wine-snob. I lived in Europe for many years and loved me some wines! I preferred drier reds like Medoc and a good and tart Chianti the best.I don't mind being sober but I can tell you I often miss drinking something other than coffee, tea, soft-drinks, mineral and tonic water....

A number of reviews have remarked that the bag smelled fermented or like vinegar when opened. I experienced the same thing, and being a first time consumer of cacao nibs, specifically this brand, I was concerned that I received a bad batch. Upon further research, I learned that fermentation is a necessary part...

As a recently diagnosed diabetic, and as a pastor's wife who occasionally fasts from sugar for spiritual reasons, I have become an avid label reader and sugar avoider. To my delight, there is no added sugar in this product, and the flavor is great. We have used it as a seasoning dressing for pasta salad, cowboy...

I bought this for an anniversary picnic. Overall, I was none too happy. The salmon-dill spread looks, smells, tastes, and feels like cat food. The summer sausage was bland. The two highlights were the candied nuts (walnuts, I think) and the spiced cheddar cheese. The rest of the basket was not noteworthy. Next...

While they have a few mustards to choose from I picked this one solely as a dare, to the Fallot people, to disappoint me. I've had their Dijon and their Dijon with Peppercorn so I knew that they knew what they were doing. When I saw the Gingerbread variant I figured it was the LEAST appealing. For me that...

This Sharp Provolone cheese is soooooo good. I have always been partial to the provolone cheese when I buy it at the deli in the grocery store, but that is Mild Provolone. When I saw that 'For The Gourmet' had Sharp Provolone on their list of available purchases, I was intrigued. I tried it, and boy, am I glad...

Mixing two popular wine grapes is always an iffy proposition. Thankfully, the Winexpert Selection Original Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot wine kit hits a homerun on this one.
