Gently chewy and precise on the palate, offering sweet cherry and black raspberry flavors that reveal hints of smokiness and baking spices as the wine opens up.

Sweet Kakis Pies at The Gourmet ShopSweet Kaki’s Pies Well you can check Easter desserts off your to-do list. We are so happy to now carry Sweet Kaki’s famous apple pies. The crust is flaky and perfect – the filling is BETTER than any we have ever tried. You will be proud to serve this — simply bake at home. You can take all the credit – we won’t tell. Other flavors available in our retail freezer: Cherry, Chocolate Chess, and Lemon Chess. No time to bake? — both Chess pies only need to be thawed.

Lodge cast iron at The Gourmet ShopLodge Blacklock Restock Lodge Cast Iron cookware has been a staple in American kitchens for more than 120 years. Introduced by Lodge in 2019, Blacklock series cookware boasts all of the traditional benefits of cast iron – durability, versatility, superior heat-retention – but weighs 25% less! We also love that the pans come triple seasoned, so their cooking surface is naturally nonstick from the first use, and it will only get better over time.

Wine of the Week

Wine of the Week from The Gourmet ShopClos I Terrasses Laurel Priorat ’19 The 2019 Laurel is quite closed and shows serious and shy. It’s made with all the grapes that are not used for Clos Erasmus—young vines, the remaining Cabernet Sauvignon (no more than 5%), mostly Garnacha and some 15% Syrah. The wine matured mostly in 2,000-liter oak vats, concrete and some barrels (she’s abandoning the tinaja). It’s 15% alcohol but has very good freshness. The wine is round and powerful but very harmonious and with good freshness. It’s medium to full-bodied and nicely textured, with abundant, glossy tannins and fantastic balance. This is both powerful and elegant. It slowly opens up in the glass to ripe berries, spice and herbs and a touch of smoke. 18,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021. Drink 2024-2034.”

Rivsalt at The Gourmet ShopRIVSALT™ is designed by Swedish designer Jens Sandringer. Jens came up with the concept while dining in Japan, where the master chef grated salt over the dishes using a large grater and big salt rock. An experience that sparked the initial product idea.

Chateau Saint-Roch Kerbuccio “This wine features vibrant blackberries and spice on the nose, is full-bodied and concentrated on the palate and lingers long on the finish. Hints of crushed stone, dusty but fine tannins provide structure and the finish, while robust and flavorful, also conveys a sense of elegance. At this price, it’s one of the top bargains we’ve tasted all year.”

Damilano Lecinquevigne Barolo ’17 “As its name suggests, this wine draws its fruit from five crus across the appellation. They are Brunate, Liste, Cerequio, Cannubi and Raviole. The 2017 Barolo Lecinquevigne is balanced and bright. If there are leading qualities to assign to the Damilano family wines, they are consistency and accessibility. This medium-term 2017 is linear and less constructed overall, and you do sense some of the ripeness of the vintage, thanks to that sweet spot on the close.” 91 Pts Wine Advocate $38.99/btl
