Taggiasca Pitted Olives in Oil
Punta Crena
These olives are packed in their own oil, and you won't believe how useful and versatile they are in salads, on top of grilled or baked fish, or all on their own. Practically, they are jarred already pitted and ready to use! I know these are going to be popular and production is limited...the large Ruffino family eats so many that there aren't many left for the United States.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
