Day 6 | 12 Days of Christmas | Olive Set
Suzan Wenzel • December 6, 2020
For our next Christmas present parcel, we stuffed three of our best ever olive indulgences from Spain, France, and Italy into a bright yellow bayleaf wine bag. Olives – high in vitamin E and heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory nutrients – are the one-size-fits-all, guilt free gift that truly says, “Olive you!”

Cheer up your cheese board – or leave a dirty martini for Santa on Christmas Eve – with seasonally hued La Explanada Pepper Stuffed Olives from Alicante, Spain. These dainty pimento packed manzanilla olives are enjoyable whether eaten straight out of the can or incorporated into regional dishes such as Spanish paella, Cuban picadillo, or Moroccan chicken tagine with green olives and preserved lemons (we have those too!)
Pop the lid on a jar of Arnaud black Provencal olive tapenade – small batch crafted in France – for a ready cracker and bread spread. Toss a scoop with cooked pasta (have you seen our direct-shipped from Italy pasta selection lately?!) as an easy side dish. Grace omelets, fish, or grilled meats with our preferred piquant puree of olives, capers, olive oil, anchovies, and herbs de Provence.
Casona Rossa Squashed Green Olives with Lemon, a best seller and regular part of our Snack Pack
gift basket, are bite-sized green olives from Abruzzo, Italy. Jarred with whole pieces of lemon and fine Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, these emerald beauties have a toothsome firmness and a bright burst of flavor making them a pleasing, well, snack.

Join us for a special seated tasting on Thursday, May 15 from 5–7 PM with Clarke Boehling of Rosenthal Wine Merchant While visiting trade accounts in the area, Clarke has carved out time to lead this intimate tasting—and we’re thrilled to host him. This is a rare chance to explore the Rosenthal portfolio through the eyes (and palate) of someone who knows it inside and out. Tickets here .

Fall Wine Extravaganza Join us for an afternoon of delicious wines! Unlike our tastings of the past, this will be more like what we call a "trade" tasting. Each rep will be stationed at a table with 4 of their wines - a mix of chilled whites/roses and reds. You are welcome to mingle, pose questions to the reps, bounce back and forth and taste at your own pace. We'll provide solo cups to encourage you to pace yourself and spit. We'll have staff passing bites of food to pair. We'll be joined by Eric, Jesse and Ken in the Coupeville Rec Hall. This will give us all plenty of room to spread out. There will be discounts offered, lots of conversations had and as much education as you would like. This is a standing, social tasting. Wine club members enjoy discounted ticket pricing as well as deeper discounts on orders at the event. Join one of our wine clubs before the event to take advantage of these extra discounts. You don't want to miss this one! A great opportunity to taste before you buy, restock your wine rack and choose a few special bottles for the upcoming holiday season. Saturday 29 October 3 - 5 Coupeville Rec Hall tickets are required Non-wine Club member Wine Club member
