EDIT: I have become a vegan, and it makes me sad that this contains milk. I have tried other dark chocolates with sea salt that dont contain milk but they are nothing compared to this bar. This has to have been the best that I have ever had. I will miss this bar:(This chocolate is so wonderful. The touch of Sea Salt simply accents the dark chocolate. Also pairs so nice with a good Red wine, the two together, Yum!!
Buy Lindt Excellence A Touch of Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Bar, 3.5-Ounce Packages (Pack of 12) Now
For an Old Salt like me who has tasted his share of fine chocolates and trouffles over the years it was a nice surprise to come across the "A Touch Of Salt" Lindt chocolate bar. The dark chocolate has just the right amount of salt to stimulate the taste buds without going overboard. Great, great flavor that will make you wanting for more, so be careful! I'm buying a 12-pack to give out to clients! Highly recommended!To the whiners complaining this has artificial ingredients: Did you read the label before buying it?The salt:chocolate ratio is great and you get that slight crunch from the salt crystals in each bite. It's absolutely AMAZING and as another reviewer states pairs fantastic with red wine.
Don't give a product a bad review because you don't like the ingredients or this chocolate isn't "good enough" for you because of the amount of sugar. You're not Ruth freaking Reichl -get over yourselves. And I'm pretty sure even she would think this is delicious.I really liked this dark chocolate combination with the Fleur de Sel. If you like sweet & salty you will like this bar. It does contain 19g sugar per serving (4 squares)...so eat in moderation. I would suggest that people check their local grocery stores for it. Mine had it for $2 a bar. So I will not be buying this online.
Vinturi Spirit Aerator

Take note manufacturers, if YOUR product has a fault and it has inconvenienced a customer for a legitimate reason, consider paying for their shipping to soften the hassle of an exchange.I had my skepticism, I start with that because if you like what you already drink what could an aerator do to it? Well it does enough for me to keep this little tool out and nearby my good alcohol. I did the old side-by-side non aerated to aerated single shot taste test. For the really cheap clear alcohol all I can say it does is make it have less of a burn while drinking and actually smooths out the after taste to a nice fade off. As for higher end, scotch in my case, I tried a 12 year single malt & a 17 year old single malt. Starting with the 17 year old scotch, this stuff is smooth and great to begin with, the side-by-side test concluded with the aerated scotch being much more floral/aromatic, the after taste was MUCH more enjoyable as it seemed to melt into a buttery feeling and just faded off into bliss.
The 12 year old scotch, it's good on the rocks and a splash of water. With the aerator it turned a 12 year old scotch into a very close 15/16 year old scotch. All the little notes of flavor came to live, I won't way it is perfect but a cheaper bottle of scotch in my cabinet just payed for this little aerator. All the harshness and lingering after taste of the 12 year old scotch, just melted away. Again not on the same level as the 17 year old but pretty darn close. I can put the max of 2 full jiggers, or more :), and know that what comes out will be a nice drink all around.
For the $$, I'd suggest you give this a shot (or 2) if you like to enjoy a fine liquor. I know I will defiantly be keeping this at close hand when making my drink, or drinks for others. I'm very tempted to by a few for some good friends and family to spread the enjoyment. The stopper and release button are NOT mechanical! An ingenious and fool proof design of two opposing magnets creates the opening effect while the weight of the magnet closed the stopper. Truly is machine washable and pretty durable.

I own all the Vinturi Aerators. The red and white wine aerators are amazing, but this one is frustrating, especially in front of company. Why? The button. The workings fail almost every time I go to use it, as the button sticks. I clean and rinse it every time I use it, but I end up having to shake it and force fluid through it trying to get it unstuck. Fatal flaw costed it three stars.Spirits I've tried with the Vinturi Spirit Aerator: Bowmore Legend, Glenlivet 22 yr, Johnny Walker Blue, Deleon Reposado, Don Julio 1942, Hanger One, Remy Martin XO, Patron Silver, Patron Anejo, Lagavulin 16 yr, Burichladdich 12 yr, Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey, Leopold Bros Rye, Silver Tree, Maker's 46, and Bulleit Rye. Basically, I've tried it with scotch, whiskey, bourbon, vodka, tequila, and cognac. Every single one of these was smoother and had more intricacies after using the Vinturi than without. Now that I am spoiled by what the Vinturi does, I get mad at myself when I am too lazy to grab and use it. The reason I am not giving it five stars is due to the button/plug on the device sticking (the button is pressed to release the plug, allowing the spirit to be aerated). Every once in a while, even after cleaning it after each use, the plug does not open when I press the button. Once the spirit is poured into the Vinturi and the plug does not open, there's nothing left to do than pour the spirit into the glass without aerating it and then pound the Vinturi against my palm to get the plug to unstick. It seems like a common problem and it is quite annoying. However, the Vinturi works well enough to overlook the infrequent annoyance.I must admit I was a bit skeptical about this product and the promise that it will actually enhance the spirits that flow through it. After now using it for a few weeks I can testify the product really does work. Side-by-side tests confirm. My bourbons poured through this product have more "nose" and I can clearly pick up on nuances that otherwise would not come through. If you are a serious bourbon drinker, this product is a must.Holiday Party Cheese and Sausage Assortment Gift Box

The texture of these wine gums is okay, chewy like good wine gums ought to be. Unfortunately, the flavor of these wine gums really fall short. While the box claims "natural and artificial flavors," all I could taste was the artificial flavorings, and weak ones at that! At one point all the flavors seem to taste the same just sweet but bland.While these are cheap, you do get just what you pay for. I'd say go for the Gustaf's wine gums instead, or just go ahead and splurge on Maynard's or Bassett's.

I USE TO THINK MAYNARDS WINE GUMS WERE THE BEST; BUT I MUST SAY THESE ARE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!Want Norfolk Manor Wine Gums Juicy Chewy Candies, 8.8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) Discount?
I just had a few hours at London Heathrow and bought wine gums which had the same packaging, or so I thought. They were delicious!!! Rich in flavor, to die for! So when I saw these on Amazon, I figured they were the same. WRONG! They all taste the same, just sweet with no flavor at all. The colors look dull, match the (poor) taste. I won't eat them. They are not worth the calories.Bummer!!!!
Dave's Gourmet Pasta Sauce, 25.5 Ounce

It's veggie and not oily at all. Very fresh tasting. Very full flavored so that you can eat it very plain. I love it best with the 5 cheese tortellini that they were giving out as samples. Just great!Dave's Gourmet is known for its punchy hot sauces, but its pasta sauces are underrated... especially this one. Made in San Francisco from butternut squash harvested in Oregon's Willamette Valley, it's at once savory and sweet. It has such a filling flavor that even Parmesan cheese is beside the point. It's a great topping for gnocchi,pasta,etc. It's a wonderfully autumnal sauce. Bon appetit!

If you are looking for a change of pace from regular tomato based sauce, you will be pleasantly surprised. I purchased this at Costco, I am not sure of any other stores that sell this. It is amazing. Very fresh tasting. A little, but not too, sweet. I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially for a gluten free offering.Read Best Reviews of Dave's Gourmet Pasta Sauce, 25.5 Ounce Here
I have never written a review before...that's how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sauce! I have never liked red tomato sauces of any kind and I've tried many. I usually make a white alfredo sauce for my pasta which is not exactly low fat and not the best choice for my slim down program. I was excited to find and try this sauce because I really like the taste of butternut squash. I didn't tell my husband what is was before he ate it because he's not a vegetable kind of guy and hesitates to try anything new. After I knew he liked it I told him. This is a great way to eat healthy (only 4 grams of fat per serving) and sooooooo tasty with just the right amount of sweetnesss. Amazon also has the best price on this sauce. Don't hesitate to try it...you won't be sorry. It's really a treat for me when I find a new food product I like. It's even more of a treat to find out it has good quality ingredients so it's good for us too!I purchased this on a whim after eating a butternut squash pasta dish at a very nice restaurant. I am VERY leery of canned/jarred pasta sauce and almost always prefer to just make my own from scratch. However, this sauce is just divine! It has a very robust taste and is pleasantly sweet. I paired it with cheese ravioli and it was just perfect. I think that it would be great with just about any pasta. It is a pleasant change from a tomato based sauce and is very satisfying. I highly recommend!
