• One of those wonderful inventions

  BookCrossing

  21 August 2004

  Bookcrossing is one of those wonderful inventions that you wish you'd come up with long ago. It's incredible to share the things you love with people you may never meet!

• Delicious, to say the least

  Magic Hat Brewing Company

  02 November 2006

  Magic Hat is probably one of the most inventive breweries in the US. Their beers are delicious, to say the least. Not just #9. Blind Faith is a sublime example of an IPA. I think their new Roxy Rolles will give Sierra Nevada a serious run for its money.

• They treat their customers as well as they treat the Earth!

  Frey Vineyards

  24 January 2007

  I sampled some of Frey’s organic wines at the Green Festival in D.C. They’re absolutely delicious! And they’re produced with the kind of care I love to see in a company. I ordered a trio of Frey’s delicious organic wines to be delivered for Christmas. When the shipping company lost, broke, or stole the package, Julie at Frey re-sent the order and tracked it until it was delivered. They treat their customers as well as they treat the Earth! Much love!

• They take great care and pride

  The Meadow

  27 December 2008

  The Meadow is a purveyor of gourmet salts, chocolates, and other loveliness in Portland, Oregon. I've only ordered salts from them. To be honest, I never knew how special salt could be until I ordered their tasting sets! They take great care and pride in their products. They're incredibly knowledgeable about salt and chocolate. And they were very pleasant to work with on the phone. I will definitely order from them in the future. I only hope I somehow find my way to their store!!
