Artisan Salt Co. Fumee De Sel Chardonnay Oak Smoked Sea Salt, 7.5 Ounce Jar

We had first tried the Salish Alderwood Smoked Sea Salt and REALLY liked it. Based on reviews I decided to try this one as well. In our opinion they are both great but I would have to say at this point the Alderwood remains my favorite but I'm sure that is just due to personal taste.

I use these salts on just about anything you can imagine. I put it in soups, on salads, on vegetables and without question meat.

My husband travels so I eat alone a lot. I can take some chicken breast meat or a few pieces of shrimp toss it in a small skillet and sprinkle a little of this salt on it and it's just about as good as having it grilled.

Definitely worth trying!

This is a great smoked salt, naturally smoked over oak Chardonnay wine barrels. This is the third variety of Artisan smoked salt I have purchased and all have been exquisite. I use this salt as a gourmet table salt that has really positively complimented every dish I have tried it with. I tried a different brand in the past that appeared to be made with liquid smoke (trashed it). That is definitely not the case with this salt. I highly recommend this Artisan salt.

The flavors in this product are absolutely fabulous. Naturally smoked lending a delicate, natural flavor of smoke. The only reason why I didn't rate a 5 star is that I find the little pellets do not dissolve well into cold dishes unlike the flaked style salts.

We use this salt almost every day in some thing. It's great on oven roasted veggies, scrambled eggs, or something on the grill. I plan on getting more of these for the holidays to give to all of my "chef" friends!

When someone told me about smoked salt, it sounded nuts. Then I read about it in my favorite cooking blog, the author had thought it sounded nuts also, until he tried it. So I gave it a shot, and absolutely love it. I have shared some with friends who are also very pleased with it. One friend told me that she likes to open the lid just to get a whiff of it... now I do too.

The grains are a bit large for me when I use it on steak or veggies, so I put a bit of it in a salt grinder that I have used when sprinkling it on meat or grilled asparagus.

I read about many varieties of smoked salt, and this sounded the best to me. I am sure I will try others.

Kedem Grape Juice

I've always liked Grape JuiceI didn't have it often, but liked white grape juice best, tending to prefer extremely sweet things. White grape juice & apple juice are near-universal bases for juice-blends, as they're bland & cheap to produce. Reading about their high sugar content & relative lack of vitality/food value, especially in comparison with heart-nurturing purple grape juice/wines, I decided to try darker juices.

Welch's Concord Grape Juice was nice; Juicy Juice was OK; generic juices were generally not bad, tho of course they might not actually be juice but re-confabulations of concentrates plus high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). I've noticed over the past few years that HFCS tends to make me feel draggy; more recently, high fructose corn syrup's been implicated in our nation's widespread obesity, no pun intended. "Great, thanks, now ya tell me"... at least I know now!

Kedem Concord was available at my local warehouse store, price comparable with other juices, and a label check said it was made of Concord grapes, with some Concord grape concentrate, no HFCS. With one swallow, it was clear to me that this product was distinctly superior in flavor, texture, non-obtrusive sweetness and tartness, and bloomin' wholesomeness than any other grape juice I've ever had. It has body, a velvet touch to the tongue, and many more dimensions than just one jolt of flavor. It's a genuine food, not a slug of sugar & color & liquid as currently so many so-called juices are, like a pre-mixed kool-aid that needs refrigeration.

I'm far from wealthy & rarely buy treats (yep, even with the obesity!), especially juice, since actual fruit's better for me: more complete, cheaper, etc. I am regularly buying Kedem Concord grape juice though. Balancing dollars & quality, after again running my own consumer comparisons with other purple+/or concord grape juices, Kedem's still got it far, far over the other drinks available to me. I truly wonder what on earth could account for such a vivid difference.

I still hate spending the moneyit's good when cut half-& half with cheap raspberry lime seltzer, good mixed with other fresh & store-bought juices, good in cereal instead of milk (OK, an acquired taste, but I don't drink milk well), great mixed with nutritional (nicer than brewer's) yeast.

I do have to include a caveat, tho, as it's preserved with Potassium Metabisulfite, which some might have reactions to, esp. asthmatics like myself. Man, am I fortunate NOT to have experienced any reaction to the Kedem Concord Grape Juice that I like so much!

YepI likes it! And I whole-heartedly recommend it!

Grapes are very sweet. Adding more Grape Juice Concentrate to sweeten the juice is overdoing it. I wished Kedem would stop making a good product bad.

Grand Champion 100% Ka'u Red Bourbon, Whole Bean, Medium Roast, LIMITED EDITION

I am a complete coffee fanatic, and when I can't get the beans I grow myself (yes, I grow a small batch of my own beans every year!), Rusty's is among my favorite alternatives.

The product is well packaged and obviously produced with care. The container is a two part pouch within a canister completely airtight and capable of keeping the product fresh if you don't use it immediately. The package is small (less than half a pound), and although it adds up to a very high price per pound, the small size can be a positive, since you're likely to use it up while it's still fresh.

Inside, the beans are simply beautiful to look at...uniform shape and color, roasted with lots of consistency and no cracked beans or chaff. As someone who roasts my own beans, I'd say that the roast is somewhat on the light side of a medium roast, giving you a somewhat blonder color than, say, a French roast having very dark tones. The appearance is somewhat dry, compared to other beans that are sometimes oily. Still, the bean is robust enough to benefit from this roast, and I've gone through several packages, finding the roast (and taste) quite consistent from batch to batch. Still, I wish Rusty would offer these unroasted for those of us who would like to experiment with the roast to maybe fine-tune the flavor just a bit.

To me, the taste is five star and quintessential Kona...smooth, bright, not too acidic, and sweet, with amazing character and pronounced chocolate notes. This is truly one of the world's great beans, delivered fresh, well roasted and ready to surprise you in the cup. Compared to other high-end beans, such as Jamaican Blue Mountain, the taste is similar although to my palette, Rusty's is consistently higher quality than any of the Jamaican Blue Mountain beans I've sampled lately.

For the coffee machine, I grind mine somewhat fine and brew it very carefully, with water right at 185-190 degrees. It's also delicious ground somewhat more coarsely in a French press. Even in a stovetop espresso pot, Rusty's gives you flavors way beyond what you might be accustomed to from lesser beans.

Although expensive, Rusty's coffee is definitely a treat worth experiencing.

O.T.C. Wine Crackers, 10-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

i fell in love with these crackers at a winery in door county, wi. i bought a whole case. i nearly eat a whole box every time i open a new one. the perfect complement to a glass of red wine. plus they're a great snack for kids--tastes a lot like animal crackers. my oldest daughter loves them.

What's not to like? The price isn't even bad. I eat them by themselves. They have a bland, yet distinctly sweet taste, and a good crunch. Also, the shape is cool. Excellent for a party.

We loved the flavor and light texture of these crackers. We crunch them up on salads & use them as snacks. We have given them to friends and used them as hostess gifts with cheese or a bottle of wine. That's why we buy them by the case.

We first tasted these crackers at the Biltmore Estate Winery in Asheville, NC and loved their taste. I forgot to purchase them before leaving Asheville and was thrilled to see that Amazon had them for purchase at a reasonable price. Just be aware that in shipping the boxes may be smushed a bit (doesn't hurt crackers), but for gift giving it does make a difference in the appearance of the box. And I ordered them in July and they expire in November, so be aware you have to eat them quickly! Have fun munching!

I love having these crackers with my wine. They don't taste bland, but they don't alter the flavor of the wine either.

Cacao Powder - Raw Organic Vegan & Gluten free - Cocoa powder from Beans - 16 oz /1 pound Chocolate

All of the Pure Natural Miracles products I have tried have been great. I use the Organic Cocoa Powder to make my own chocolate sauce. I don't like using the readymade sauce, since it has a lot of unhealthy stuff in it. So I make my own with Agave Nectar, Cocoa butter and Cocoa Powder. It tastes heavenly and is also very healthy and full of antioxidants. I highly recommend trying it for yourself, if you haven't already!

A very good & trusted friend of mine told me what an absolutely amazing product this raw cacoa powder was! Since I had been buying other products from this company with excellent results I decided to give it a try. Wow! This item is really worth the price! The word is out! I would highly recommend it to anyone out there who is looking to boost their immune system with one of the absolutely highest antioxidant foods the organic world has to offer! As a bonus one can expect exceptionally good service. Keep up the good work guys!

Cream of Tartar, 2 oz.

I found the product to be very good. My daughter was baking muffins for school and we use this product. The product was useful with the muffins. It gave the product a good taste to eat and we enjoyed eating the product.

Not very, really, unless it's reasonably priced, shipped quickly with a minimum of fuss and does what it's supposed to do: make a fabulous meringue all of which is applicable to this product. I will order it again.

Vino Italiano 4 Week Wine Kit, Gewurztraminer, 15.5-Pound Box

I added sugar to get the SG up to 1.085 and used a cotes de blanc yeast from Red Star. Whipped the gas off a couple times durring secondary and at SG 0.990 I degassed and cleared it per the instructions. It seamed a little thin so I added two 12 oz cans of Welches frozen white grape. This was my sweetener and 'body' filler as it were.

A month after bottling this was pretty good. I don't love Guweruztraminer but was looking for a base to make a semi sweet green chili wine after the 'Hatch Green Chili' spirit. The Green Chili is good too but the base has become a decent white table wine.

For $40 for 6 gallons you cant complain even a little on this one, though I'd rate it at $7-$9/bottle. That's $170 bucks to the good on 30 bottles at the least. So add a little juice to get the body up and a little sugar to get the alcohol up and you have a pretty decent table wine to serve. I bet the guys making 5 gallon batches are right on as the kit by itself would make a thin wine.

Very tasty and easy to drink. It may 4 vs 5 stars based on my indifference to Gewurztraminer.

One of the first wine kits I bought and the first Vino Italiano. Didn't expect much but have found this makes a a nice wine. Let it set about a month after bottling and is a very good light wine. Would buy again.

I have been making wine for several years and purchased mainly Wine Expert kits. I ordered one of these to try after making the Barlo kit. This kit suprised me on how it turned out. Granted its not a $15 bottle of wine but, it is enjoyable. My son thinks this is the best one I have made yet. After looking at the reviews I ordered a Chardonnay to try also.

This was my first attempt at home winemaking. We're still early in the aging process so I can't speak to the drinkability of the wine, but the kit was easy to execute and had everything I needed (I think) to make the wine as good as the juice will let it be.

I've bought and made 5 or 6 of of these less expensive kits by Vino Italiano and am pleased that they have turned out very drinkable.They are easy to make, contain all you need w/ exception of equipment. I make them using 5.25 gals at the start and 5 gals after fermentationThis adds a bit more fullness. They add a quick wine ( although the reds are better after 6 mos.) to your cellar while you wait for your higher quality wines become ready to drink.
