Shopping Online Just Got Delicious!

Gourmet Foods ~ OH BOY! Gourmet Goodies. You should never go shopping on this site when you're HUNGRY! I just wanted to see if they had anything like goat cheese. So, I typed in "goat" in their search box and I got 86 different kinds of goat cheeses. They also have a "Build Your Own Gift Basket" system. Here are my choices, the cheese, the champagne AND the chocolate. This company, Igourmet, is in the state of PA, which is why the shipping is so expensive to CA:

Goat Camembert
$10. [shipping to CA $11.50]

This extra creamy goat's milk cheese from France is satiny-smooth with a firm, slightly chewy, edible white crust. Its flavor is all goat - tangy and rustic with hints of lemon and hay. Flown in exclusively every other week, this item is a true delicacy.

Gloria Ferrer Royal Cuvee Brut Carneros 1997
$28. [shipping to CA $14.50]

In 1982, the Ferrer family, proprietors of the world's largest producer of sparkling wine, Freixenet U.S.A., purchased 250 acres of land in Sonoma's Carneros wine district where they planted vineyards with the traditional sparkling wine grapes of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Since then, it has produced some of the world's most honored and acclaimed sparkling wines, winning over 100 gold medals in the last five years.
Tasting notes:

A wine with an intriguing duality, the 1997 Royal Cuvée strikes a balance between high-toned fruit flavors and complex elements realized from seven years of yeast aging. In the bouquet one finds tangerine, slate and citrus blossom, all held together by a distinct toast aroma. On the palate, a cascade of fine bubbles ushers Asian pear, red cherry and toffee flavors through a long finish.



Scharffen Berger Natural Cocoa Powder

6 oz. $10.

Unsweetened Scharffen Berger Natural Cocoa Powder has all the flavor of rich, dark chocolate. Nothing is added to this exceptional cocoa - no milk or alkali (the chemical in Dutch processed cocoa). With the same attention to detail used in crafting their pure dark chocolate, Scharffen Berger hand select ripe, well fermented cacao beans from tropical regions around the equator, which are blended, ground and pressed. This natural cocoa powder mixes deliciously with milk for hot or cold cocoa and gives depth and clean chocolate flavor to baked goods.
