Happy holidays, we love this time of year! Office demands tend to slow a bit as vacations begin and there are lots of parties and opportunities to cook, bake and celebrate. How many parties will you attend this holiday season? Don’t know what to bring? A crock pot of meatballs is always a crowd-pleaser, or perhaps a gourmet olive platter may do the trick. Hosting a cocktail party? Then stock up on spirits, mixers and garnishes and print off our new martini recipe. Don’t know what to bring as a hostess gift? Stay tuned, lots of new items to help meet your gift-giving needs this month.
November was an action-packed month. On November 7th, we participated in the 1st annual Local Evolution market at Darwin Brewery in Bradenton. It was a night of local food, music and fun in a great outdoor setting and we are looking forward to more Local Evolution markets soon. November 8th was the 28th Annual Zoofari at Lowry Park Zoo. Approximately 4,000 guests attended and our tent was full of hungry people sampling olives and meatballs all night. Check out all the photos on our website. Thank you Holly & Jason Szabo and Sue & Jeff Etter for your help. We are super excited to be collaborating with Cigar City Brewpub in Carrollwood! We have created new olive flavors using our Pirate recipe and 3 of their incredible craft beers. Look for more news of this soon. November 22nd was the 6th Annual Shopapalooza Festival in St Petersburg sponsored by LocalShops1. There were 130 vendors selling their hand-crafted products in Straub Park all day. It was Tampa Bay’s alternative to Black Friday and a great kick-off to the holiday season. We also attended 4 tasting events at ABC Fine Wines this month. These events offer the best way to get introduced to over 100 craft beers, wines and spirits in a single 2 hour time period, for a mere $10. What a deal.
