Muir Glen Whole Peeled Tomatoes

You’re an Italian through and through.  And you want to make a red sauce that’ll knock Ma’s socks off.   Everyone agrees, peeled tomatoes are a perfect base ingredient for pasta sauces.  And some say San Marzano Tomatoes are the best way to go—and they’re good, they’re really good.  But Muir Glen Organic Whole Peeled Tomatoes, just might be better. 

Muir_glen_whole_peeled_tomatoes

Muir Glen is proud to offer the highest-quality organic tomatoes available.  And their flavor is unsurpassed.  No need to add sugar to a sauce made with Muir Glen Organic Whole Peeled Tomatoes—there’s no acidity to kill.  They’re sweet as can be.  So, go buy a few cans and whip up some marinara or even a Sunday gravy.  If your base is Muir Glen Tomatoes, you Ma is bound to say, “Molto Bene!”

Grgich Hills Napa Merlot

Paul Giamatti’s character in Sideways may not approve, but there are some truly excellent Merlots out there.  And if you were going to try one, a great place to start would be a great Napa winery like Grgich Hills.  The Grgich Hills 2002 Merlot marks the debut of the words “Estate Grown” to their Merlot label, meaning that the grapes came from only their estate vineyards and they have total control over their quality from bud break through vinification all the way to the bottling line.

Grgich_hills_napa_merlot

As such, you can rest assured this wine will be great. Still a baby, the  Grgich Hills 2002 Merlot already offers rich red fruit in the mouth – cherries, plums, strawberries, and currants – complemented by notes of cassis, licorice, leather, and a hint of green tea. The mouthfeel is full and structured, yet never loses the suppleness that is Merlot’s hallmark. Pleasantly dusty tannins provide underlying structure, and a long, smooth finish that makes this wine eminently sippable.  So, tell Paul to STFU and pull up a glass. He may love the  Grgich Hills 2002 Merlot.

Riedel Stemless O Wine Glasses

You’ve bought the perfect bottle of wine for Valentine’s Day, but you need something to drink it in.  Juice glasses seem to have lost their charm after all these years.  But traditional stemware can be awkward and difficult to clean.  So, try something different.  Riedel Stemless O Wine Glasses are the newest revolution in glassware.

Riedel_o_stemless_wine_glass_pinot_noir

Casual yet elegant, the Riedel Stemless O Wine Glasses  are appropriate for fine wine enjoyment, as well as casual sipping.   Made in Germany of lead-free crystal, this set contains Pinot Noir and Chardannay glasses. The wine tumblers were shaped to fit into a dishwasher and fine-tuned to enhance the pleasure of your favorite wine varietals. In keeping with their glassware tradition, Riedel Stemless O Wine Glasses have become the benchmark for stemless glassware.  So crack open a bottle and drink in style.
