The Original Dirty Sue Premium Olive Juice, 12.69-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 4)

I like to consider myself an expert on dirty martinis. Most people

think just buying a good vodka or gin is the answer. They are sorely

mistaken. The olive juice is what you need to perfect. Fortunately,

it has been done for all of us. Dirty Sue is by far the best olive

juice on the market. I was introduced to it at a party and it is

fantastic. Most other brands (and I've tried them all) are basically

salt water with a hint of olive. Dirty Sue is the perfect blend. It

actually has a very nice olive flavor with a subtle bite of salt. I

don't know how they do it, but please, keep doing it!

Five Thousand Stars.

I tried dirty sue for the first time last week and I asked myself why wouldn't this be available in every bar and restaurant I visit? From this day forward I will never drink a dirty martini unless it is made with Dirty Sue!

Every one who reads this and agrees should ask their local bartender to please carry this phenomenal product--we want our dirty sue.

I was not really sold on the fact that a specific olive juice would make a dirty martini better... I was buying some cheap olive juice at BevMo! Then I found this one on Amazon and after reading all the reviews decided to give it a try. It truly does make a difference!!! It is more expensive than what I was paying before, but it is well worth the money! Give it a try... you won't be disappointed.

This mix is absolutely delicious!

I ordered both this and the Boscoli to test them both, I found them both excellent Dirty Sue has a bit more punch.

I liked this one slightly better, but the price differential doesn't justify spending the extra. At least for me.

I've tried all different types of martinis and finally settled on the ICE COLD Grey Goose dirty martini as the best of them all. I then went in search of the best way to make them and finally stumbled across Dirty Sue. The other reviews are right Dirty Sue is just the right blend. The perfect ingredient for a perfect dirty martini. I highly recommend it. In fact, writing about it has made me thirsty. I'm going to go make one right now!

Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup

These Wild Hibiscus Flowers make an impressive statement in cocktails, especially champagne. In addition, the flowers are edible and yummy!!!! You can even float them in sparkling apple cider or bubbling water for those non-alcoholic drinkers, as well as the kids. Great way to spark conversation among your guests. They make a wonderful hostess gift as well.

I saw these wonderful flowers in champagne drinks the last time I was in Las Vegas, namely Wynn and Vdara. After an extensive search online I found the Australian website that carried them, and immediately bought a jar. The flowers are delicious but do not change the flavor of the drink being served. Perfect for straight champagne or any other drink that would have bubbles. The jar also comes with other serving ideas.

This is a fun way to vamp up a champagne toast or a cocktail!! The flowers have a very nice fruity flavor that doesn't taint the drink itself. My fiance and I are going to use these at our wedding reception for our champagne toast and we are very excited to hear what our family and friends think! We liked them a lot!

Napa Valley Wine Boxed Chocolates (15-Piece Box)

I bought these for my girlfriend who just happens to live in California, and she loved them. The chocolates came fresh and the packaging was just beautiful.

Hand-written card, her name was hand-written on the front of the card, and extra care was taken in the whole process. I will definitely buy again from Choclatique.

If I could rate higher, I would. I was sent a $15 refund for the shipping because my girlfriend lived nearby. I've never had such an honest company before, that was pretty cool!

Got these luscious wine chocolates to use as part of my stocking stuffers. They were yummy and a big hit with everyone. Would definitely buy again.

I have purchased two of this company's chocolates: the Retro Cocktails and the Napa Valley Wine. Before shipping, the seller was kind enough to note that the weather was going to be warm on the East coast and they called to discuss shipping options.

The only downside was that I didn't actually receive the Napa Valley Wine Boxed Chocolates. I received the Dark Chocolate collection instead. I assume that this was an honest mistake and I didn't mention it to the seller (until now, I guess). The dark chocolate collection is really good, so we're content. However, I'm still curious about the wine chocolates.

Just for the record, we really liked the retro cocktail collection as well. A few odd flavors in the bunch, but the ones I didn't like as much were for cocktails that I don't like...so...makes sense.

All in all, well worth it. I will get them again.

Deluxe Indulgence All Chocolate Gift Tower

Before I am judged too harshly let me say that what I mean by "for any of the women in your life" is that we all have women that know who really deserve to be thanked for all that they do for us. Wife or girlfriend (not both!); mother; grown daughter; co-worker; assistant; your child's teacher; etc. And what can say "Thank you" better than a gift basket of wonderful, decadent, delicious chocolates?

I sent this to a customer of mine. She is the head of her company's training department and I wanted to send her something special on her birthday to let her know how much I appreciate the work that she does in helping my company to train and teach their employees. I knew that she was a dark chocolate fan and this basket has quite a bit of high-quality dark treats. She called me the day that she received it and she couldn't thank me enough! She was blow away by the variety and quality of the chocolates. I will certainly be buying more in the future.

My father in law said it was melted together, as the deliverer left it on the porch in the sun.

Vino Italiano 4 Week Wine Kit, Piesporter, 15.4-Pound Box

This wine kit is a great everday drinker, especially when served to non-wine drinkers. As with all Vino Italiano wine kits, DO NOT make them to 6 gallon / 23 litre carboys. Only make this brand to 5 gallons and you will have a inexpensive but very drinkable table wine. Have made two Piesporters so far and plan to make more.

I have a 6 gallon primary and a 5 gal carboy, so I am limited when it comes to using kits. Most kits call for 8 gal primary and 6 gal carboy......so.....this wine kit is perfect for me. According to reviews make it up to 5 gal rather than 6....ok, I'm set! Yes, it worked out great without having to buy new equipment!! White wine is a little harder to degas, so after stirring...stirring..you get the picture...I quit with still bubbles in it. I think that made the finished product a little harsher, but after 3 months it greatly improved. I have some set aside for Christmas Gifts so should be perfect by then. I really recommend these kits, especially if your equipment is smaller, like mine. This was my first kit, then I did V. Italiano Merlot.....really got that degassing thing down..and it turned out Great!! Too dry for me, but I added 2 Tbls wine conditioner per bottle....perfect...sweeter in the front of the mouth....dryer in the back!! ha ha I just ordered the V. Italiano Reisling..not here yet but anxious to get going on it. Fun, Fun, Fun........Try it!!!!!!

Lalvin Wine Yeast 71B 1122 Yeast 10 Packs (Strange Brew Home-Brew)

Made 6Gal of strawberry mead and it came out extremely good. In the past I used champagne yeast and there seems to be a difference with regard to finished flavor.

Made my wine (mead) taste great and nice and drunk I was after bottle one. No bad yeasty flavor either as with bread yeast.

I've been making honey mead for several years, and this is my second favorite brand. It does a great job fermenting, without going crazy and foaming out of the container. I like the results from Red Star Champagne yeast a little better, but I also buy this Lalvin yeast when it's cheaper on Amazon.

I use a 1-gallon wine bottle and and an air lock, and in about a month I've got the starts to some great mead. Bread yeast doesn't work as well, and some other brands of wine or champagne yeast don't tolerate the alcohol content as well.

I store the extra packets in the freezer and they're fresh and ready when I start a new batch.

I bought this yeast because of the rave reviews I read elsewhere... however it has been spotty for me. One batch did great with this stuff, another would not take off and then ended up with stuck fermentation. My results tell me to not use this if you have an acidic must OR if your fermentation area is cool (65 degrees F or less, even though it's rated for that)otherwise it's fine.

German Classic Gift Basket (7.7 pound)

My mothers country was dissolved during World War II and the land given to Czechoslovakia. A U.S. citizen since the 1950's; at age 85, she has told us many stories about her former country and the amazing times she has lived through. She loved the gift basket from iGourmet.com as it contained many things that reminded her of her former homeland. Great gift and quick delivery! Thank you!

I've sent this as a gift three years running to my folks. They love it. Makes gift giving easy for sure. Shipping was fast. Parents had no issue with the product after unpacking.
