Keoni Chang, Foodland's CFO ( that's Chief Food Officer), joins us to chat about the opening of Kahala Mkt - where customers are sure to be impressed - overwhelmed even - by the sheer amount of food options in this relatively small space... "We've gradually adjusted over the years with our food concepts at Foodland.... and the store with 'et al' as the restaurant is the next phase in what we're doing... there's a really nice curation of conventional, natural and organic products ... including the full service restaurant," Keoni explains.
And our favorite Master Sommelier, Chris Ramelb of Southern Glazer's Wines and Spirits brings us sparkling suggestions for the holiday, including some incredible wine finds - the like of which you may never see again, "We always love to support local, and this Lokelani prosecco from Maui is wonderful," says Chris " And we're sure listeners will love this incredible Sommariva Prosecco as the perfect start to the holiday. "
And, one of our favorite wines of all time - Saracco Moscato - is undoubtedly one of the best Moscato d'Asti's you'll ever taste - and perfect for Thanksgiving dinner.
And here's the news you don't want to miss ....
Two of Ramelb's favorite producers - Reynvann and Force Majeure ( both out of Washington ) are being offered for the next few weeks at a really incredible price. He says he can't quite believe he's still seeing them on the shelves... Not for long, Chris....
Happy Thanksgiving!
