Nicole’s Gourmet Foods – James Meléndez / James the Restaurant Guy

January 26, 2011 Leave a Comment

Nicole’s Gourmet Foods has a well edited assortment of olive oils, vinegars, spices, jams, jellys, prepared food, and baked goods. I walked and didn’t expect to find a great assortment and started noticing the price points on the vinegars and spices as being well priced.

I loved the spice packaging program– great for a second use and beyond. I found each spice I needed. I did find that I picked up one spice that I didn’t need and forgot to get the one I needed. Just means I need to go back for another visit.

I did enjoy the coffee and baked goods. A nice crew and unexpected find.

We all need water to survive but we need wine to nourish our soul. My favourite varietals are Malbec, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Shiraz... but there is only one varietal I cannot kind of enjoy and that is Pinotage. I remember my first try was... I hope this is like a Pinot... but it is like drinking a fermented green vegetable with an after taste that just lingers and lingers and... lingers. But I am not here to talk necessarily about what I do not enjoy but what I am passionate about. My current passion is Sherry - Pedro Ximenez which is one of the most amazing wines of all time. If the wine loving world new what they were missing they would start appreciating this miraculous wine. Malbecs drink like they should be double, triple of their current pricing and I am talking solely of Argentina's beloved wine. I love Pinot and I love it even more when I find one worth loving. But when you find a spectacular Pinot you wish time could stand still. And then there is Champagne. I like the bone dry style - Extra Brut. It is an amazing nectar that I like Winston Churchill...could drink everyday. ...Well he did... I am still dreaming about it. I am amazed with Madeiras, Ports, Sauternes, Tokaji and my beloved Sherry.
