At Columbus Circle Whole Food Market in Manhattan the other day, we sold out of our 8 year barrel-aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena during our tasting event. One customer bought three bottles. It breaks my heart that they never order enough and our loyal customers go hungry.
Tomorrow we will appear at the new Whole Foods Market in Paramus, New Jersey tasting our CampoBelloDoro Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil made in Campobello Sicily and the Balsamic vinegar made in Modena. I hope there isn't a riot when we run out of product again. Please don't come and buy any because it is a limited supply product that never seems to be enough for the appetite of our public. Yes, CampoBelloDoro is that good. Until then: Peace, Love, and CampoBelloDoro.

Charlotte's Tea Room Opens in Warwick
Charlotte's Tea Room has expanded into a Victorian style grand dame home on the Main Street of Warwick New York. We peeked in last week to have a look and were pleased to see the scones piled high and the tea pots flowing already. The newest most fun place in town to lunch on homemade chicken pot pie or take a tea for two for $28.oo in the traditional British afternoon style. It's about time we had a great place to go for tea when in the mood for a special treat.

Eden Gourmet at the South Orange Train Station
Fans of the Garden of Eden stores in Manhattan and Hoboken are swooning over the latest store in this group of true specialty food retailers in the unlikely location of South Orange, New Jersey. Today we had lunch in the upstairs cafe-a wood oven-baked buffalo chicken pizza slice.One slice of absolutely divine pizza fed two. Lovely cheese. We spied a wonderful tomato soup being served in a real china bowl. The salad bar behind glass is served in a way that ensures a fresh and safe food experience. Delicious looking prepared food counters showcase foods that look like the quality Whole Foods USED to have- for a lot less too.
Like a mini Harrod's Food Hall in the middle of New Jersey, the produce section is peerless. The meat section is extraordinary. Recently, in response to the financial crisis gripping the nation, retail prices on all product lines have been lowered : many bargains to be found at this store. The best imported selections in the area. What's not to like about this store?-It is a perfect little jewel.
Plans afoot to open a full restaurant in the expansive upstairs and huge outdoor terrace. Prediction: The Place to Be on summer 2009 evenings.Catering avaiable-pick up a menu-outstanding presentation-check out the crudite basket.

Downtown Breads and Bake Shop Montgomery
If you ever want to eat PIE, delicious breads, or wonderful cheese, drive over to Montgomery, New York and get the best in the universe at the Downtown Bake Shop. This woman knows how to bake. Everything is fresh, everything is special, a real find. The descriptive word Foodie comes to mind. Do not miss the parmesan cheese rolls. www.downtownbreads.com
I went there the first time because I was over at the Orange County Airport watching the planes fly in and wandered into the historic and quaint town center of Montgomery. I happened to find a marvelous Ian Thomson landscape of Vermont original hiding in the back of a local antique store for an outrageously great price. I invested!
There in town you will find Victorian marble-topped dressers for a song-a great place to go to furnish a home. I also uncovered a treasure trove of historical photo portraits to collect. Another time you might have lunch or drinks at Rick's Runway Cafe on the airport grounds-very reasonable homemade culinary-quality chow. Your fellow diners are probably fly-ins. We have always met interesting and friendly people there. Dogs are welcome under the outside tables and some fly-in with their owners. Afterward, the county park over at Thomas Bull Park has a delightful dog area for owner socializing and dog running about. Not too far from Blue Sky Polo so we tend to be over there on Sunday afternoons.
