We are always on the hunt for great new products, and are thrilled about several we've found! And, apparently, The Boston Globe is, too! Yesterday's Food section featured two of our best-sellers: we are so proud we were among the first to carry Stoney Brook's Squash Seed Oils from the Finger Lakes, including yummy varieties like Butternut and Delicata.  One of our all-time favorite wines made the "Plonk" (high-value wines under $12) column.
