Ok, party people here is what we have just received in from the East Coast.
Salumeria Biellese has graced us with the following delectable salumi:
Petit Jesu-the baby Jesus 'cause its weighs like 9 pounds.
Finochiono-see the "o" on the end means it’s big, big like the PJ, and studded with fennel seeds.
Finochetta-the "a" makes it small. Little fennel studded salame
Sweet sopressata-a favorite since we opened.
Hot Sopressata-its evil twin, spicy!
Rosette de Lyon-similar to the sopressata a French version with Provencal spices
Saucisson Sec Basque-A Basque style salumi, a little spicy and garlicky.
Coppa- a mild version of coppa. Very tasty.
Napolitano-this is a new one come in for a taste
Felino-another new salame from the kids at SB, you just have to try it.
Bresaola-a whole, cured, beef tenderloin. This one is made here in the USA not like all the others out there imported from S. America.
Mortadella-traditional Bolognese salumi. This is the original bologna, and no it is not just for sandwiches.
I think that is it for Biellese, but if I missed something it will be at the shop on Thursday.
We also received in some great cheeses including the following:
Appenzeller-this always seems to be a favorite. High alpine cheese with a rich fruity flavour.
Comte Ft. Lucotte-An amazing Comte that continues to humble me every time I taste it.
Exploratur-This is a great triple crème, that is hard to come by. If you like Delice you'll love this.
Gouda-this is the one that everyone asks about. The 5yr old Gouda from Holland. 'Nuff said.
We are also fully loaded on, the now very famous, Parma Prosciutto that we have become somewhat know for. People this is THE best you will find outside of a trip to Italy. Seriously.
Again if there is anything I forgot to mention it will still be at the shop on Thursday. Hope to see all of you there soon. Cheers.

INCOMING!
OK. I am gonna preface this with the the following statement: " I will not be held responsible or accountable for any shipping delays, missing items or any thing else that is beyond my control." Having said that we expect a whole bunch of new product in this week.
OK. Allow me to explain. Every time that I promise that something will be here on such and such day, something beyond my control happens and said item is either missing from our order or delayed. We had expected that an order of product was to arrive this past week. When I called my supplier, he seemed surprised that our truck had not arrived yet. Seems our truck either left the east coast later (2 days) than expected or somehow got delayed (2 days) along the way. So said product should be, emphasis on SHOULD, arriving this week and on the shelves by Thursday. Assuming nothing else goes awry.
On to more important things, what we are getting. The Moulins Majhoub products that many of you enjoyed last year are returning to grace our shelves and, hopefully, your pantry. Here is what we are expecting:
Tunisian Extra Virgin Olive Oil 100% Organic-this is the big 1L bottle that many of you enjoyed at both a cooking and eating oil. It is flavourful enough to enjoy on salads and as a condiment but robust enough to cook with.
Moulin Majhoub Couscous-both plain and with dried chili. These are the hand rolled couscous that you usually only read about in travel books. Again these are hand rolled and NOT machine cut, hence a bit bigger than you are used to.
Moulin Majhoub condiments:
Fig Jam
Lemon Marmalade
Artichoke Bitter Orange Chutney
Candied Lemon and Fig Chutney
Tunisian Sweet Pepper Harissa Spread
Artichoke and Harousse Spread
There are a few other items coming but I am gonna let you sweat it a bit on this.
We should also be receiving several other items that many of you will be VERY excited about.
Salumeria Biellese will be back in stock with all of their lovely cured pork products and even some beef too. The list is to long to put here, but rest assured all of your favorites will be well represented.
Several of you have been lamenting the 5yr old Aged Gouda that we carried at different times last year. Well, your lamenting will surely end soon as we have TWO wheels on the way. There are quite a few other wonderful cheeses that we have been with out in the past few months that will be making their 2009 debut, including that AWESOME Comte that we had last year.
So, again, barring any unforeseen problems, everything mentioned above and a few items not mentioned will be available for your enjoyment. Hope to see all of you in the store soon. Cheers.
did I mention that the Parma Prosciutto will be back too?

Sunshine. . .at last.
We just received a blessing from the weather maidens and some new inventory from our wonderful suppliers.
Pleasant Ridge Reserve- an award winning cheese from Wisconsin that will really blow you away. Flavours are subtle but long and lingering.
Fleur Vert- a fresh goat's milk cheese covered with tarragon and pink peppercorns. Always a favorite.
these are only two of the cheeses we received, there are many others too.
Salumi and the Pope of Pork have blessed us with an amazing offering of porcine products, including the wondrous and amazing CULATELLO. If you have never tried it, today is your day. These never last long and are few and far between.
Agrumi is back in stock for those of you that have been pining away for it.
We also have some of the wondrous Lamb Prosciutto. Again this is one of those you need to try it to believe how good it really is. Seriously.
All of your other Salumi favorites are back in stock as well.
We also have some interesting news for those of you that love Salumi. Oregano is going to be making a comeback, see I told you I was persistent, as a seasonal salumi offering. It will be available from Sept through November. Salumi will also be offering a few other seasonal salumi this year including a new offering called Marco Polo, flavoured with lemongrass and Asian spice. This will be available this summer.
We still have some beautiful Artichokes this weekend if you are in the mood. Haricot Verts (French green beans), and fingerling potatoes are also available while supplies last (I always wanted to say that). Looks to be a beautiful day so get out and enjoy it. Stop by the shop if you get hungry or want to pack a snack to go. Hope to see all of you soon. Cheers.

New additions
We have just received in a few new items that we thought we would share with all of you before the end of the weekend. We have the Las Rocas Garnacha from Spain back in stock. Only TWO cases of this were available to us this year, so get it while you can.
Many of you may remeber the Gougenheim Malbec from Argentina that we had last year. Inexpensive but really wonderful wine. Well it's back, and even better that last years.
The new release of Pinot Noir from Hamilton Russell is also in. "racy acidity providing the ground wire for the rich black cherry, bramble, incense and sweet earth notes, followed by a long, multifaceted finish" 93pt WS. We only have one six pack now and we are not sure if more is going to be available to us.
New cheese and other items will be in on thursday afternoon. Come see us soon. Cheers.

This weekend. . .
Ok a few things to tell you about today:
1. Corned Beef and lots of it. If you have not yet tried our CBR (corned beef on rye, for you lay people) hot then you need to. The Cold War Style Rubens are good too.
2. New cheeses in this week. We received a few new cheeses this week including; a sheep's milk version of the Fleur de Maquis, Ossau Iraty (hard Basque sheeps milk), Midnight Moon (you know you love it), Taleggio and petite muenster. We will also be cutting into a Keen's Cheddar wheel this weekend as well as a perfectly ripe Humboldt Fog.
3. New wine by the glass: Cabanon Augurio. This is a moslty Barbera based wine from Italy that will blow you away. Very fun to drink, you might even call it a quaffer. A glass will set you back $7. Pair that with a bowl full of our cassoulet and you got a pretty good weekend hapening.
Hope to see you all soon at the shop. Cheers.

New Arrivals
Ok, back from the buying trip and here is what we now have:
Magito Zinfandel Panorama 2006
Dark berry, wild berry, and earthy cedar flavors are fresh, vibrant and lively, with nice peppery scents and long, complex finish
Taz Pinot Noir Fiddlesticks Vineyard 2006
Lushly textured with integrated tannins and notes of cocoa, black cherry and black plum
Monchhof Reisling Kabinett MSR Mosel Slate 2007
Juicy and bursting with peach and tangerine flavors 90pts WS
Pfeffingen Reisling Estate Kabinett 2007
Zing of lemon and spice that rides the firm structure to a dry finish.

Wow! This is one of my new favorites and the price is going to shock and amaze!
Domaine Paul Lapandéry et Fils, Côte Roannaise "La Rousselière" 2005

Chateau Courtinat Saint Pourcain 2005

We also have several beers back in stock:
Saison Dupont Farmhouse Ale
Moinette Brun
Moinette Blonde
Achouffe Houblon IPA Tripple

New Wines
Many of you might remeber the Zefina Zinfandel and Sangiovese that we had in last fall, for those of you that don't they were REALLY nice wines. Good fruit and acid with out being thin, sweet, or high octane. Really well balanced and well crafted wines. So why am I going through this again? Well, Rob Chowanietz was in yesterday and dropped off a case of each AND sampled me on his new Mourvedre. Needless to say the Mourvedre will be arrving Fri or Sat of this week. Not to miss as most of this production (there is only like 52 cases available) will be going to their new tsting room, and won't likely be availble anywhere else in Walla Walla.
Also we will be receiving some new wines on Thursday so come in and check out what is new. We will have some solid gold favorites (yea, I went there) and some new never seen before jems. All of our wines come with my personal guarantee too:
If you don't like it bring it back, I'll finish it for you. . .Cheers.
