It’s February and time is flying but I wanted to let you know about a couple of new items that we have in stock at the store and also some of our really good deals.  First the new treats:

Misfortune Cookies from my friends Russ and Jason who are famous for coming up with our favorite line of lollipops.  Fortune cookies with a more realistic approach to the fortune and cookies are made in a bakery in Austin so they are actually quite tasty.  They are for sell for $10 and you get about 11 or 12 in a box.

Our next item is our dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Zin Restaurant.  Jeff Mall makes the peanut butter( I gotta say I am not a big crunchy peanut butter fan, but now I am).  The peanut butter is enrobed in bittersweet chocolate and topped with fleur de sel.  Well we got them in for Valentine’s Day and I think we have eaten more than we’ve sold.  That might not be true, they are a hit among our friends at Les Mars Hotel and at Restaurant Scopa.  A puck is $3 bucks.

Now for our sale items we have some price reductions for products that we always will carry.

We have Zin Restaurant Roasted Anaheim Chiles for $6/lb  and Let’s Be Frank for $4

We are selling our Fiorello’s Gelato Slices: buy 12 slices you get one free.  Each slice costs $2 each which a steal!!  And if you buy it from you favorite monger the more they sell then they get something too.  It’s a party for everyone.  Flavors include Strawberry Gelato over white chocolate cheesecake, Mocha Almond Fudge gelato over chocolate cheesecake and Tony Spumoni which is a classic Fiorello’s flavor: almond gelato, pistachio gelato and chocolate cheesecake.  You won’t be let down and if you haven’t tried Fiorello’s gelato  then you must come in and get some!

Also we have vintage silverware for $5 a piece and once they are all polished and pretty they would make a great hostess gift or if you have a child going off to college and getting independent they will always need at least one fork.

Price Reductions on Lehua Hawaiian Honey, French Honey that can be used many ways besides cheese and La Panzanella Croccantini which we are now selling for $5.75.

Come in and meet some of our new friends and family members who are helping us during these tough times to keep us going.

Thanks for listening,

Doralice & the gang

Last night I went with my friend Hardy Wallace to see Les Claypool play, or rather I should say jam, at Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol.  What a fantastic concert.  The event was a combination of music, marvel and the release of his newest project, Purple Pachyderm Pinot Noir from the Russian River. 

The marvel is what I wanted to focus on today.  Raffling off some pretty great prizes if you bought a t shirt or a case of the wine.  Now, I’m not musician or famous person really but I do sell T shirts and we do have a pretty sweet deal going on that is clearly being overlooked because everyone is fretting over next week’s holiday. 

So we’re sweetening an already great deal.  Since we haven’t had the response we’ve aspired to for selling raffle tickets to win the wheel of Ewephoria(aged sheep gouda that people croon over) we are automatically putting your name into the can if you buy one of our very hip Cheese Shop T-shirts!  Now you get hang out in style and know that you might be able to bribe your relatives next week into letting you eat the whole pumpkin pie or maybe even deep fry the turkey.

I do have to say that I did wear one our shirts last night to Hopmonk as was recognized because of our logo.  So maybe I’m a bit famous.  Now I just have to learn to play the guitar.

p.s. T shirts are $26 and they come in shades of gray and black and some in white.  You can buy them through our website or call us up.  You do not have to present to win the wheel of cheese.  If you do win the wheel you can take the whole wheel or you can eat your way through it in increments that can last years!
