O Olive Oil - O Cabernet Wine Vinegar

O Olive Oil - O Cabernet Wine VinegarI usually pick this up (every bottle available)when I see it at Home Goods or TJ Maxx but, it's so hit or miss. Sometimes I can grab 4 or 5 and sometimes it goes for months where there are none.

I'm hoping more people will catch on to how great this vinegar is, popularity will grow and I'll be able to grab it at the local Stop & Shop. I't so good that I'll search & buy on the internet when I can't find it and I don't do that for just any condiment.

This is great in any dish calling for red wine vinegar. If you think you don't like red wine vinegar, it's because you've been using such substandard brands (progresso ewww!! and don't EVER buy the store brand!) that you don't know what red wine vinegar shoud be.

You should be able to taste the wine. It should not be watery in the least. It should make you happy!

I cook with this on a regular basis. I'm basting cornish game hens with this vinegar right now (Mud Hen in a Mud Pack from Barbara Byfiend's The Eating In Bed Cookbook copyright 1962)and I use it when I make my sausages in red cabbage

Round Shaped Smoked Gouda Cheese by Wisconsin Cheese Mart

Round Shaped Smoked Gouda Cheese by Wisconsin Cheese MartThe cheese is good quality, and the packaging so good that I was able to carry it in a moving van from Seattle to Durham, NC with no problems, I'll order again. If you're a smoked-gouda fan, remember that every brand that's "real" tastes slightly different, and this is a tad bit sharp, but I prefer sharp to too mild.

This Smoked Gouda cheese has a great flavor and the taste is fantastic. It was deliveried quickly. I bought it from Amazon.com.

Cornucopia Fruit Wine Kit, Red Raspberry Pinot Nero, 16.4-Pound Box

Cornucopia Fruit Wine  Kit, Red Raspberry Pinot Nero, 16.4-Pound BoxMy Wife and I have been making wine from kits for about seven years now. This was our first Cornucopia Fruit Wine Kit. I think that my wife won't let me go back to our other brands now. The flavor of this wine is so incredibly Raspberry flavor, it's as if you are really biting into sweet juicy RED RASPBERRIES and the juice is running down your fingers and chin and the aftertaste you are left with is so pleasant on your tongue, you feel like you spent the day picking Raspberries and eating them as well. This kit was very easy to make. The only thing I did a little differently as far as bumping up the alcohol is I added about 2.5 lbs of corn sweetner (clear Karo) at the beginning of the fermenting. Just add it before the yeast. We have the Pear kit Fermenting now. And we just ordered a second kit of this Red Raspberry. We give a lot to friends and family and neighbors and they all want more more MORE!!!! lol. Well, we are looking forward to trying other flavors. My wife says to try the Red Currant for the holidays. And Green Apple at least. From all the reviews I read, it looks like there really isn't any flavor that is bad. So if your looking for an intense fruit flavor try this Red Raspberry Pinot Nero. You certainly will not be disappointed. Bet you can't drink just one glass!

This is my 9th kit of Cornucopia Fruit Wine.I make it to 6 gal. and add 5 lbs of simple syrup, (just heat water and add sugar)at the beginning fermentation. This will make the wines abv about 12% instead of the 6% that it makes without the sugar.Each pound of sugar raises the abv about 1%. Make sure to use quality water like bottled spring water,not tap or well water.The directions are easy to follow. I have started adding only half to three fourths of the sweetner flavor pack and its better to my taste.If you like a really sweetwine add it all.It also gets a little better after being in the bottle for a month or two.The Vino Italiano wines at amazon are very good too for a regular non fruit wine.Great value with corks and labels and hats.I also don't put labels on all the bottles unless i'm giving them away,too much work to clean them off next time,just use a little adhesive tag to label them.I highly recommend these wines,and its fun to experiment with different techniques that you read other people tried. Enjoy, but remember,its addictive.

This wine turned out so GREAT that my wife and friends had me order another 1 as soon as they tasted it. The bouquet was so fragrant and nice not to mention the taste which was fabulous. Will do another in the spring. Cornucopia kits include everything you need to make a great wine beverage, except the equipment. Try it, your sure to like it. The Farmwiner...

It makes a decent wine, this is made to drink when the wine is young, while the wine is just OK at a young stage, it says aging will cause it to lose the fruity taste but since it makes about 30 bottles I think there will be quite a few that will be left to age. I have made wine before and it has turned out well and tasted good after aging. This kit has the ingredients necessary to make the wine but you do need to have your own fermenting container, carboy, the air locks, bottles and things like that. It is easy to do and the price is reasonable. The quality of the wine isn't great but it is acceptable.

With these wine kits you often get told to put Keilesol and Chitosan to clarify the wine...those packets are in the kits. My wife, since I started making wine from kits, has been saying there is a chemical under taste that is not appealing. She has a very sensitive taste capability well beyond me, but even I noticed it.

SO.....

First I added 24 ounces of Karo syrup to boost the alcohol content (to the must), then I followed directions right up to adding the sweetened flavoring. (potassium sorbate, etc was put in...). I only added about 2/3 of the sweet flavoring bag, otherwise it would have been too sweet. Then I stirred well...then I did....nothing....

I let it settle for a week then carted it over to another carboy again, leaving the dregs behind. A week later I filtered it through the small filter system (Vinbrite....works well but you have to rig the bottom plumbing a little) and the wine was....EXCELLENT.

If this doesn't work for you...sorry. However, my 2+ cases were immediately wiped out by friends and family after they tasted it. So now I get to do it again and this time I will shut up once the batch is complete!

Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw Pu-erh (Puer, Puerh) Tea Cake - 2008 Vintage, Early Sp

Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake - 2008 Vintage, Early Spring Harvest - All NaturalI'm relatively new tp Pu-erh, but recently I've tried at least 25 different kinds from across Yunnan Province, and the Six Famous Tea Mountains. Each has its unique flavor, changing slowly through multiple steepings.

This particular tea is my favorite "Sheng" or raw tea from Bana. Flavorful from the first through 6-8 steepings, holding a balanced bitter/sweet flaver so enjoyable to me. I think I'll get an extra cake and see if I can keep out of it to age it for a decade or so! Looking at the spent leaves in my gaiwan, this cake seems to be made of high quality materials, carefully handled from harvest to my doorstep.

This tea is wonderful, subtle pleasant flavors are abundant and refreshing. I have had it for over 8 months now and really enjoying it!

This is my second purchase of the Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw 2008 Tea Cake. I'm enjoying the first one so much (bought directly from Linda Louie at the L.A. Tea Festival) that I bought this second one as a gift. I might buy another and stash it to experience how it ages.

A previous review said that this tastes like green tea. Yes, a very refreshing green tea, which is what raw Puer is, I believe. This particular tea tastes slightly fruity rather than just "green", and the flavors stand up to repeated brewing: 9 or 10 (small, Chinese) cups. It's great as iced tea, too.

I've had really good pu erh tea and this does not taste like it at all. It tastes and looks more like green tea. Although it tasted decent, I was expecting something that did not taste so much like green tea. Alot of vendors are jumping on the pu erh bandwagon charging customers alot of money making them think it's pu erh. I do not believe this is 100% pu erh as stated in the description.

Connetable - Sardines with Extra Virgin Olive Oil 115 g 4.1 ozThese taste awesome. I will never eat a Sardine from any other vendor again. Maybe it's something about the sardines caught off the coast of Portugal?

Hawaii Roasters 100% Kona Coffee, Single Serve For Keurig K-Cup Brewers, Medium Roast, 10-Pack

Hawaii Roasters 100% Kona Coffee, Single Serve For Keurig K-Cup Brewers, Medium Roast, 10-PackI LOVE the Hawaiian Roasters Kona K-Cups coffee, it tastes just like the Hawaiian Roasters Kona Whole Beans coffee I use in my 'Cuisinart Brewer/Grinder', only now much more convenient! I am very pleased!

There isn't much in the way of ground coffee that I enjoy, but my office recently purchased a Koerig machine and so I started investigating what was available in a K-cup so I could use the new machine. I tried several brands and flavors from light to mild, but couldn't find any thing that I liked. Then I remembered that I used to like Hawaiian Kona coffee and started looking for it in a K-cup only to be disappointed. As I understood it, no one was selling Kona coffee because weather conditions in Hawaii over the past several years had made it hard to grow and therefore scarce. Oh, I noticed that several vendors were selling "Hawaiian blend" coffee, but when I read their label, the blend largely consisted of arabica which is not Kona. Imagine my surprise when Amazon notified me that Hawaii Roasters was once again selling Hawaiian Kona coffee -andin a K-cup. I promptly ordered a box and was not disappointed. This coffee is delicious! I'm even thinking of buying a box just to put out on the office coffee bar so that my my co-workers can enjoy a cup. I'm sure it will be a hit with them as well.

If you use the default setting to brew, it makes the coffee too weak. You will need to use the next setting down from the default in order to get a cup of coffee with flavor.

This coffee is really delicious. It's the best Kona I have ever tasted and I have visited the islands twice and I live in the 9th island (Las vegas). Yes, it's expensive and I wouldn't buy this very often but I highly recommend it. This stuff beats the pants off Jamaica blue which I think is somewhat overrated. The packaging is unique and you DO NOT need to use a MY Kcup with it. also, DO NOT puncture the bottom. The water is meant to run out the sides and through the filter. I had zero problems with my Cuisinart.

Happy to see a 100% Kona K-Cup vs the Kona blends. Very tasty coffee...will most definitely reorder. Slightly different design than other K-Cups but nice that it's recyclable.
