This Week's Gourmet Department Highlights!
- Carr Valley Bread Cheese - 
$7.99 each

Inspired by the Finnish cheese Juustoleipa, or cheese bread.

This 'squeaky' cheese has a very buttery flavor, and the heat from baking caramelizes the sugars on the outside of the cheese to form a tasty crust similar to brown bread.

Serve it with your favorite dip as a delicious snack, by itself, or with jam, honey, walnuts or syrup.

------

-
Grillies Halloumi - 
$8.99 each

For those of you who may not have heard of or tried Halloumi, it is a cheese that hails from the beautiful Eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus.

Cypriot cheesemakers have been making it locally for centuries.

It is also a popular cheese in other Eastern Mediterranean countries such as Greece and Turkey, the United Kingdom, and now worldwide, including the United States.


------

- Pulaski Franks & Jalapeno Franks - 
$8.49-$8.99/lb

Pulaski prides itself on manufacturing eastern European-style products carefully by hand and by experienced butchers.

All smoked and cooked in-house at their USDA facility in Linden!


------

- Hoboken Eddie's BBQ Sauces- 
$10.49 each 

Chef Edmund Patrick "Hoboken Eddie" McCarthy starts with the highest quality, fresh, all-natural ingredients and mixes them with a secret array of herbs and spices to conjure up his taste-bud-tantalizing sauces.  

Never thickened with cornstarch or xanthan gum, you can taste the difference.

There are no animal products, fats or oils.


------
 
- Eat This Yum! Caramelized Balsamic Onion Jam - 
$7.99 each 

Discover the deep, intense flavor of our caramelized onion and aged balsamic reduction.

Perfectly smooth and silky, it adds an elegant touch to any dish.

Top your burgers with an aged cheddar and a schmear of this jam and you'll never be the same!


------
 
- Terrapin Ridge Farms - 
$5.99 to $7.99 each 

Savory jams, garnishing aioli squeezes, mustards, dips, dressings, sauces, and now grill and wing sauces.

They have developed a reputation as a truly original, high-quality food creator.

Their team is made up of passionate foodies with the goal to deliver on creating a memorable and positive experience that can be shared with loved ones, turning simple into unforgettable.
Weekend Wine Sampling!
Saturday, May 17th, from 12pm to 3pm!


Stop in this Saturday, May 17th, to sample our top 4 Summer wine picks, all under $20!
Sampling Selection #1:     
2022 Nova Vita Firebird Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc
$15.99 on sale 


An absolutely stunning Sauvignon Blanc from the famous Adelaide Hills in Australia!

Everything we look for in Sauvignon Blanc, with bright citrus flavors and a crisp, mouthwatering finish.

This is our porch pounder for the Spring and Summer!

93 Points Wine Showcase Magazine:
"Aromas of tropical fruits and freshly picked limes. There is a piercing concentration of flavors, leading to a surprisingly medium-bodied palate with loads of fresh citrus flavors."

-------
 
Sampling Selection #2:     
2022 Castello Di Montepo Je T Rose
$19.99 on sale 


Made by the Biondi Santi family, one of the most premium wine producers in the world, this wine is astonishingly complex & is something that needs to be tried to believe.

This is a Rose you need to have all Summer long! There is always a perfect time to drink this, and for those of you who want to have some Rose on hand all summer, this is the one!

THIS is the wine to buy as it will age like a fine Bandol Rose and leave everyone who tries it absolutely speechless!  

90 Points Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"With a new generation at the helm of the winery, this is very much a project identified with the young Tancredi Biondi Santi. This 2022 JeT Rosé is a Sangiovese-based rosato made with the special clones farmed at this Maremma estate. The vines are at a cool 520 meters in elevation and measure 12 hectares. However, there are a couple of rows of Cabernet Sauvignon at this site that are not used in this wine. This luminous expression shows cassis, wild berry and grapefruit. There are some dusty mineral notes and a hint of sweetness on the easy close. The first vintage produced was 2019" 

-------
 
Sampling Selection #3:     
2019 Buccaneer Red Blend Dead Drift
$14.99 on sale 


This California Red Blend is the definition of a wine that can please a crowd. Perfect to pair with burgers, steaks and ribs. Basically, this is the wine to stock up on if you host 

Smooth and supple with great fruit, it is a style of wine that is ready to go and will please a wide range of wine drinkers.

90 Points International Wine Report:
"The 2019 The Buccaneer ‘Dead Drift’ Red Blend delivers aromas of red plums, wild berries, spices, pepper and oak nuances that all develop in the glass. On the palate this is medium-bodied and structured with soft, velvety tannins ending with a round finish."

-------
 
Sampling Selection #4:     
2020 Gard The Don Cabernet Sauvignon
$19.99 on sale 


Gard Vintners was founded in 2006 by Josh and Lisa Lawrence. Located in the Columbia Valley, they pride themselves on being one of the few Washington state wineries that use 100% estate fruit!

"The Don" is everything we look for in Cabernet Sauvignon. Loads of black fruit up front with a lush and dense mouth feel. Everyone who loves big, rich Napa Cabernet will absolutely fall in love with this.

With 91 points from Wine Spectator, this is the Cab to stock up on for any occasion!

91 Points Wine Spectator:
"A handsome red, refined and focused, with appealing black currant, pencil lead and bay leaf flavors that gather tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030. 1,728 cases made. - TF"

🍺🍻BEER LIBRARY HAS LANDED 🍻🍺

Our 5th (yes, FIFTH!) Beer Collaboration is here, and we wanted this beauty brewed with flavor in mind, not fullness.

Introducing our Beer Library, a Session Wheated Ale. Clocking in at a smooth 4.5% ABV, it’s light enough to go the distance, but packed with enough flavor to keep things interesting. No heavy malt bombs. No bitter hop slap. Just a clean, hazy, citrus-kissed ale that plays nice with your palate.
Here's what to expect:
  • Appearance: Hazy pale yellow with a big, fluffy white head and some classy lacing.
  • Aroma: Light wheat malt meets a soft kiss of baked lemon. It smells like summer and good decisions.
  • Flavor: Unfiltered goodness with a whisper of citrus spice, mellow malt backbone, and a finish that says “another round?”
  • Bitterness: Moderate-low – just enough to tickle, not wrestle your taste buds. Because this beer isn’t here to challenge you, it’s here to vibe
Think sunshine in a glass. Think patio, music, good vibes, and this beer in your hand. Think why did I ONLY buy a 4-pack?

This isn’t watered down. It’s not trying to be fancy. It’s just a good beer that pairs well with literally everything — sunshine, snacks, sports, or pretending to reorganize your bookshelf.

We made this for those who love beer but maybe also have a wine fridge. 😉

4-pk 16oz: $13.99
