New Arrivals
Casa Amalfi If your summer travels do not include the Amalfi Coast… we can take you there! Unwrap layers of luxury and be transported to the beautiful Amalfi Coast with these decadent soaps enriched with shea butter and coconut oil. The soaps with wonderful summertime scents are all made in a small town 20 minutes from Positano by local artisans. The Casa Amalfi gift set makes the perfect beach house present: a wrapped bar and a hand painted ceramic soap dish.
Nashi Home Introducing Nashi Home at The Gourmet Shop. Colorful serving pieces made from resin in Australia. It is cool to the touch – similar to stone. The swirling patterns make each piece unique. We want to dive right into this aqua “pool” blue bowl.
Harney & Sons Two wonderful new flavors. A blend perfect for adding a hint of the tropics to long summer days, Island Dreams begins with a base of fine, nimble-bodied green tea. Layers of tangy pineapple and sweet coconut deepen the flavors along with mellow blue cornflowers. A truly tropical infusion that’s equally delicious plain or with a spoon of honey. Vibrant and full of crisp, fruity flavors, Indigo Punch combines the delicate tang of rose hips and apple pieces. The earthy tones of the gorgeous butterfly pea flower make this a unique blend. Bright lemongrass, lemon peel, and vivid raspberry round out the palate of this beautiful brew, along with natural honey flavor for a touch of sweetness.

Wine of the Week
Monteti Caburnio ’15 “The 2015 Caburnio is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller parts Merlot, Alicante Bouschet, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc from the beautiful beach community of Capalbio on the Tuscan Coast just a few hours’ drive north of Rome. The wine opens to a slightly wild bouquet with aromas of rosemary essence and Mediterranean herb that lift from plum and wild cherry. It ends with a silky, mid-weight style.” 92 Pts Wine Advocate $19.99/btl
