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!

Beckmann's Old World Bakery
Stuffing Mix
Andronico's Own
Cranberry Chutney
Made with a special blend of all natural artisan-baked breads, perfectly seasoned with herbs and spices, Beckmann's Old World Bakery Stuffing Mix is an essential for your Thanksgiving feast. Peter Beckmann, who spent years training as a baker's apprentice in Heidelberg, Germany, established the independent, locally owned Beckmann's Old World Bakery in Santa Cruz in 1985, in honor of the German commitment to the art and craft of bread making. Reflecting the time-honored European baking traditions, Beckmann's Old World Bakery makes their breads and this sensational stuffing mix, with patience and care, from the finest natural ingredients. Made with whole, tart fresh cranberries, beautifully balanced by the sweetness of apples, Mandarin oranges, plump golden raisins, sugar and spices, Our Own Cranberry Chutney is truly the perfect accompaniment to turkey. Ruby red in color and bursting with flavor, it is a festive addition to your holiday table. It is also delicious served over a rich, creamy scoop of ice cream for a special fall indulgence.
Kerrygold
Aged Cheddar
Rodney Strong Estate
Pinot Noir

Kerrygold Aged Cheddar is infused with the robust flavor of whiskey. Rich and creamy, with unique undertones of the nutty, smooth, woody taste of pure Irish whiskey, this aged cheddar perfectly complements a cheese platter. Kerrygold Dubliner is a classic combination of the sweet nuttiness of rich Irish cheese, and the malty, caramel, bitter taste of a perfect pint of Irish Stout. Serve with ripe pears and walnut bread for an ideal ending to dinner. "Tavoliere" literally means "from the table," and there is nothing better than this perfect, beautiful, flavorful cheese to bring both family and friends to the table. Soft and elastic, the cheese imparts subtle, creamy and buttery "sweet milk" undertones.

The Rodney Strong Estate Pinot Noir is a classic example of why the Russian River Valley is one of the best sites for Pinot Noir in the world. The vineyard was planted in 1968 and has produced rich, supple, and fruit-forward Pinot Noir. The wine is filled with ripe aromas of cherries, red raspberries and a kiss of sweet spice from the French oak the wine was aged in. The palate is round and has a long finish. This is OUR choice for Thanksgiving dinner!
 
Forno
Pecan Pie
RSVP's
Potato Ricer
You've got to try our Forno Pecan Pie! This San Francisco Chronicle Hall of Fame winner is a pie we're proud to share with you. The flaky, tender crust cradles a smooth, deep-brown, ultra-sweet filling tempered by the addition of toasted pecans. Sugary and nutty with a mouthwatering mix of tastes and textures, it's the perfect pecan pie.
A ricer is a device that resembles an oversized garlic press. For silky-smooth mashed potatoes, cooked spuds are loaded then squeezed through a sieve-like disk. Brilliant, but not complicated, the best is RSVP's Potato Ricer. This is a phenomenal gadget both you and your potatoes will love. It's made of heavy-duty plastic and has two interchangeable discs that produce fine to coarse textures; a pot extension grip; and comfortable, contoured handles. Sporting a nifty green stripe, it is ready to race through piles of potatoes!
