Smooth & Exciting
Distilled in San Francisco, right next door to AT&T Park, Distillery No. 209 Gin is one of the hottest new spirits to come across our desk in a while. The distillery is owned by Leslie Rudd, owner of Rudd Vineyards and Dean & DeLuca, and his latest project is as exciting and bold as all his others. This gin is the smoothest we have ever tried. It is floral and elegant and the perfect call for your next Martini. Or try something new: A Gin Bloody Mary. It is best on a lazy Sunday!

Andronico's
Chocolate Dunked Cheesecake
Monin
Syrups
The possibilities of cheesecake are seemingly endless. Called a "canvas" by cheesecake-cooking champion David Gluckman, cheesecake is truly a blank palette, delicious as is, yet wonderful when enhanced with an array of ingredients. Andronico's Chocolate Dunked Cheesecake with Raspberries is made with real cream cheese and Madagascar vanilla, and then dunked in dark chocolate and finished with fresh raspberries. With the smooth and rich texture of classic cheesecake, the addition of raspberries and dark chocolate makes this cake distinctive. Treating yourself to a slice of our favorite cheesecake is a great way to end a memorable feast. When you're in the mood for a fruity, sweet sipper, Monin Syrups are the way to go. Three of our favorite flavors are Cherry, Raspberry and Strawberry. These natural flavors can be used to enhance your coffee, smoothies, teas, cocktails, frozen drinks or sodas. With Monin Syrups, you can create your own premium drinks using any one of their flavored syrups with sparkling water and ice. Discover the world of possibilities with Monin Gourmet Flavorings.
Belizza
Acai Sorbet
Earth & Vine's
Vinaigrette

If you've never heard of the Acai berry (pronounced ah-sigh-ee), take note. This little powerhouse is an ecologically sustainable berry that grows in the Amazon rainforest. It is incredibly rich in nutrients including antioxidants, minerals, oleic acid, potassium and vitamins. For a burst of antioxidant-powered energy that lasts, look no further than the delicious Belizza Acai sorbet. This sensational sorbet can be eaten as is, blended into smoothies, or topped with granola and fresh banana. Without argument, this is one of the best sorbets in the universe.

Add elegance and zip to your salads with ethereal vinaigrettes made with real fruit and grape seed oil. Earth and Vine's Blackberry Peppercorn Zinfandel Vinaigrette and Raspberry Cranberry Vinaigrette are two of Andronico's favorites. Serve the Raspberry Cranberry Vinaigrette with a cheese and fruit platter, or fold into Bellwether Farms creme fraiche and serve with grilled chicken or salmon for a meal that is simply scrumptious. The Blackberry Peppercorn Zinfandel Vinaigrette is fantastic drizzled over sauteed spinach, or tossed with fresh spring greens, toasted pecans and crumbled goat cheese. These gourmet vinaigrettes can also be used as marinades for chicken, fish and pork.
