Gourmet Shopping Made Simple

If you're at the supermarket with dizzying products filling the shelves, wouldn't you want easy-to-read information on why you should choose a certain bottle of olive oil over another, other than the scribbles found on back labels? Wouldn't insider tips on how to buy meat from chefs come in handy while cruising the store aisles?


Gourmet Depot, found inside all Wine Depot outlets, went ahead and did the research so customers can get the fast, friendly facts with shipping tags on all products.

Like...

Jindi Cheese: "Won in the World Championship Cheese Contest – the ultimate award in the cheese-making industry."

Yellingbo Olive Oil: "Martha Stewart finds this "Absolutely Delicious!"

The Chilli Factory: "Hot, fat free sauces especially good with barbecue or tuna"


For meat products, you can even take home various trivia and preparation instructions... like this chart on meat "doneness" depending on the thickness. I like personal touches like that.
