Green Apple Riesling (Island Mist)

Green Apple RieslingI am new to wine making this year and purchased this from my local wine/brew shop. Of the three Island Mist kits I have made this is by far my favorite. I'm not really sure how it ages as all 30 bottles were gone in two months (Lots of gifts). Many of my friends/family who don't normally drink wine really like it as it isn't too sweet nor too dry and you can actually taste the apple. Will defiantly be making this one again.

This is by far the best wine I've made. Everyone loves it, makes for wonderful gifts and clears really nice. Will definitely be buying this again.

Vilux French Vinegar Variety (5 Pack)

Vilux French Vinegar VarietyI absolutely love this raspberry vinegar. In fact, I came to Amazon searching for it after we moved. I'm dangerously low and can't seem to find this anywhere. My favorite two uses are, first for salads. I will cook down some frozen berries (raspberries my fave) and puree straining all the seeds. Then, add a bit of sugar, this vinegar and olive oil. Wisk for a nice dressing. Secondly, I use it over pork. SO many possiblites! I've just spritzed it, or added it to a reduction of berries, stock and soy sauce for an Asian flare.

I'm anxious to try the champagne! In France, they take the vinegar and mix with some olive oil and honey for a light dressing over greens...and phyllos of herbed goat cheese. Hoping to recreate that for my family!

Wine.com Grand and Glorious Gourmet Gift Tower

Wine.com Grand and Glorious Gourmet Gift TowerI ordered this gift basket for my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas and had it shipped directly to them. I got a great price because it was a "lightning" deal and shipping/tax was free. It arrived on time and was a big surprise for them! They phoned immediately to thank me, and tell me how impressed they were with the size of the basket and the amount of its contents. I asked, "Was it really that big?" They said, "Yes! It arrived in a huge box, and it was really big." I'm so glad I bought it for them as it was obvious that they were genuinely impressed. It always makes me proud to send a gift that turns out to be so great unlike ordering $100 in flowers that look like $10 worth. I will not hesitate to buy from this company again. And thanks also goes to Amazon for their bringing such a nice gift box on a lightning deal.

Even though I didn't intend to gift this, It came really handy when some surprise guests arrived. All the items were of very good quality, i think i just paid for the boxes and cookies! The rest came as bonus. Very happy with this purchase.

I liked most of the goodies, there was a couple that I didn't like. It was fresh and a great price.

I purchased two of the gift towers as gifts for others. Upon receiving the tower I went through the stack to identify the items that were near their expiration dates and either removed them or moved them to the top of the stack in each box based on my expectation of when they will be used.

The product was great and exceeded my expectations. I would order again without hesitation. The two individuals that received the towers were excited and enjoyed the contents. I did feel inclined to note they needed to prioritize those items expiring the soonest.

I rarely send prepackaged foods as gifts but the high score reviews of this product encouraged me to try it. I sent the tower to friends for Christmas and they were extremely happy with it. They loved the selection and quality.

Reserve Du Chateau 4 Week Wine Kit, Sicilian Shiraz, 17.5-Pound Box

Reserve Du Chateau 4 Week Wine Kit, Sicilian Shiraz, 17.5-Pound BoxI know this is a four-week wine kit but you have to really let this wine mature in the carboy. Make sure it develops the flavors that you're looking for Sicilian Shiraz, this wine has very bold flavors, good body, and a deep finish. I only use natural spring water for our kits and it makes a difference. And never use tap water and or use filtered water from the home. I have found that you get a true wine if the watershed through and clear and clean free of contaminants I've only had this wine sitting on the shelf for five months. Can't wait to taste it and sixth month from now. It's very drinkable young we've tried it three bottles and it's getting better as it ages in the bottle. A chef friend of mine makes the Sicilian Shiraz and a full juice kit. This kit stands up to it at almost a half the price.

First try at this brand, usually use another provider. Have been making wine at home with kits for over 15 years. Thought I would give this a try and was very pleased with the outcome. I underestimated the yeast however by following the instructions to first set in warm water. It did not ferment as I like so added another dry yeast after a week. Did an extra filter just in case. The wine came out fine, excellent taste for table wine, a nice polish and aroma. Would certainly use again and recommend to any home vintner.

So far we have fermented the must and racked it once. The wine is pretty clear this early in the game. It smells wonderful, but it will need to set for another three to four weeks in a carboy to bulk age. I have had great wines with this brand, and this one looks to be another winner.

We ramped this kit up with some extra sugar. While it might not win any awards, it was good to the point that we drank half of it while still in the carboy. Thank god for spigots.

Partners Wisecrackers Low Fat Crackers, Roasted Garlic Rosemary, 4-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Partners Wisecrackers Low Fat Crackers, Roasted Garlic Rosemary, 4-Ounce BoxesI have been buying these from my local grocery store for a while now and was VERY happy to see the Wisecrackers available on Amazon at about 40% below the grocery store prices (and with free delivery; they arrived well packed, in great, grocery store condition)! Cannot beat that! Aside from the price, why do I buy Wisecrackers:

1) TEXTURE and CRUNCH: They are much tougher then regular crackers. They hold MUCH better when you need them for a dip, or a base for a topping. They allow you to "feel" the crunch and take a loooong time before getting soggy when covered with a topping.

2) TASTE: They taste almost like bread crust, with ONLY 110 calories and 2g of fat for ten good sized crackers (each is about two inches by two inches).

REGARDING THE FLAVOUR: I like the sesame variety the most, for their neutral aftertaste. The Rosemary/Garlic variety is not as versitile; in fact, it is quite "herby" (I am not a big fan of rosemary, so this is subjective). You will have to choose the dips and the toppings carefully. However, they can also be eaten alone, as a light in-between-meal snack.

Enjoy!

I had originally found these crackers at a friends house. She told me they could be purchased at Trader Joes. After paying way too much there, I found them on Amazon! I'm glad I did and I ordered the six-boxes. I go through these crackers so quickly since they are low-fat. I have purchased other food from Amazon and I expected these crackers to come all broken. I cracked open a box today to find them all intact!

Great flavor, great texture.

What can I say beyond the fact that the entire shipment of 6 boxes were confiscated by the overgrown children who reside in my tree. I'll hide and hoard the next delivery.

I love the flavor of these crackers, even though they are low fat you wouldn't think that by the taste!

Unfortunately so few of the crackers came intact for a true flavor test. I can say they made an excellent breading for fish?! I did get a replacement shipment of crackers and they were also crushed when they arrived.

Le Pere Pelletier Salt Mill Grinder

Pere Pelletier Herbes de Provence mill grinderI put this stuff on all my meats that I grill along with fresh grinded pepper. I figure that the French know what they're doing when it comes to preparing food. This condiment along with my high temperature sear burner grill turns even the most mediocre steak into a prime aged piece of heaven.
