Tovolo Sphere Ice Mold
I have to say I am a fan of bourbons, especially Buffalo Trace, served with a single ice cube. The only downside to adding ice to a fine glass of bourbon is that normal cubed ice tends to melt quickly and dilute the bourbon’s flavor. But at last I’ve found a solution to this problem: Tovolo Sphere Ice Molds, which create ice “cubes” in a perfect, spherical shape.

Sip and Sizzle
Sausage and beer are practically BFFs, and our beer gurus, Don and Mike, have put together five masterful match-ups. All of our Fresh to Market sausage is handmade on site, just like the butcher shops of the good ol’ days. We use all-natural seasonings free of nitrates, nitrites, phosphates and MSG and we always use natural pork and chicken.

Catena Winery Malbec
We love Malbec, and Argentina's Catena Winery is the gold standard for this varietal. It's a beautiful wine with great concentration of black fruits, well-integrated tannins, bright acidity, and a long finish. The 2010 vintage now in stock is rated 91 Pts by The Wine Advocate. Pairing nicely with grilled beef, this wine is available for $19.99, save $8.00.

Stack Wines
This might just be the coolest new product in our wine department! Stack Wines were created by three wine enthusiasts who met while working on their MBAs at UC Irvine. They consist of four individually packaged, 187 ml, plastic stemless glasses, which they call Vinoware. These special glasses snap together, with a total volume that is equal to the traditional 750 ml bottle of wine.
