Now I know this is completely subjective and others tastes and opinions may differ, but in my opinion the coffee I buy online from Camano Island Coffee Roasters is the absolute best coffee. The interface on their website makes it easy for me to order exactly what I am looking for in a very short amount of time. On top of that the selection is incredible. Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of all of the coffee beans, but out of the thirty or so flavors I have tried there hasn’t been one that I wasn’t able to finish. My favorite by far is Colombian coffee. It has a stout flavor to it and it is purely java goodness. I drink my coffee black, so the flavor of the coffee bean is tremendously important in my cup of Joe. I highly recommend this company both for a great product, and rare flavors you might not find elsewhere, and from a customer service standpoint they are unmatched.

If you’re getting ready to join wine clubs monthly it is important to learn something about some of the wines which might be included in your future shipments, especially considering the huge number of low quality wines available in the market today.
One of our favorite wineries, which certainly deserves more attention is Carneros Creek from (not surprisingly) the Carneros region. The first winery to open in the region after Prohibition ended the winery was the first to separate Pinot Noir by its different clones (small genetic differences in the grape) in order to maximize quality. The family owners sold the winery to a wine related investment group in 2004, but the same winemaking talent stayed on board and quality has been consistent (as has production, which is surprising as new owners typically dramatically increase production) from this winery which has slowly morphed over the years into one of the leading Pinot Noir specialists in all of northern California’s historic Napa Valley.
