We select only the top grades from our beautiful Kona plantation and our Master Roaster roasts to just the right depth to create our exclusive Aloha Island Gold coffee. Very smooth and naturally low in acid with never a bitter aftertaste. Rich, with depth of flavor and a full-bodied aroma.

Customer Review: Poor customer service

Sticker on invoice: "We care about your satisfaction with our products and service. If you have any concerns or questions about your shipment, please call us toll free at..."

Who would think that getting coffee could be so difficult?! We had a problem and it had been arranged that the coffee would be exchanged. They sent a Fed Ex label and off it went. After 2 weeks, a call was placed to check status. Emma (Pres) relayed the shipment would go out immediately and apologized for the delay. Thought it was done... A few moments later, Anna calls back and goes into some diatribe with my wife not knowing what coffee is. If the president of the company resolved the issue, why is someone else from the company calling to stir it up?!

Another call back to speak with Emma and she apologized for the actions of Anna. The coffee and a "for your trouble" gesture would be sent along that day. They are located cross town about 10 miles away and most shipment are next day...nothing came.

A week passed and still nothing. Another call. Emma relays that it should have been taken care of and will call me back next day to confirm. Next day came, went...nothing. We are quite disappointed by this company. They got the $$ and we received empty words.

Customer Review: Good, but.................

We bought this coffee based on all the hype (Food & Wine Magazine, "handcrafted" , "Estate" , etc) but as serious coffee drinkers, we didn't feel this was worth the high price (especially when shipping is added). It had a pleasant, full bodied taste, but so do a lot of other, more easily available and less expensive coffees.

Starbucks for example, has enough different varieties of coffee where you'll find one blend very similar if not as good (or better) tasting than the much lauded Kona........just our $0.02

Ten years after the publication of the highly acclaimed, award-winning Côte D'Or: A Celebration of the Great Wines of Burgundy, the "Bible of Burgundy," Clive Coates now offers this thoroughly revised and updated sequel. This long-awaited work details all the major vintages from 2006 back to 1959 and includes thousands of recent tasting notes of the top wines. All-new chapters on Chablis and Côte Chalonnaise replace the previous volume's domaine profiles. Coates, a Master of Wine who has spent much of the last thirty years in Burgundy, considers it to be the most exciting, complex, and intractable wine region in the world, and the one most likely to yield fine wines of elegance and finesse. This book is an indispensable guide for amateur and professional alike by one of the world's leading wine experts, writing with his habitual expertise, lucidity, and unequaled firsthand knowledge.

Customer Review: A Good Sequel

Clive Coates' previously published "Cote d'Or" is unsurpassed in its comprehensive research on Burgundy's vineyards, vintages, history, and profiles of Burgundy's domaines. He was a much younger man then, active in his profession and in better health, hence the gargantuan effort he poured into that epic volume is impossible to duplicate over a decade later by a man in retirement for several years now and in lesser health. I don't view his just published "The Wines of Burgundy" a "revised edition" as the subtitle states, but rather a sequel. In this sense he has published a fine volume that extends the reach of his first book on Burgundy. Both volumes should be on every Burgundy lover's desk.

Customer Review: Indispensable.....

Burgundy is perhaps the most confusing wine region in the world. This book is THE BIBLE on burgundy. To anyone wanting to understand the differences between each climat or producer, this IS the book to read.

I find it pretty easy to read. Although one warning: This is not a book for the wine beginners. You'd be better off going for "Red and White" as an introduction, then THe World Altas of Wine as an intro to Burgundy (and other regions/countries) first. If you have conquered the burgundy section in the world altas and still yearns for more, this is the book to get.

I do not have the 2008 edition (yet), but have the last 3 books. I strongly disagree with the reviewer who thinks that Zraley is full of himself and a "poser". First of all Kevin Zraley is THE wine instructor. Ever hear of a little restaurant called "Windows on the World"?

That said, his last 3 editions are a wonderful introduction to wine. As a restaurant manager, I keep them in our lending library and recommend them to all new servers, to get a handle on the vast world of wine.

These books are well written and easy to understand. They cover a little bit of each region, but do it in an interesting way.

Customer Review: Windows on the World

Well written and thus easy reading. Enriching work for the wine enthusiast. Excellent compilation of more than thirty years of teaching, lecturing and advising experience. A must have for the wine lover.

In the world of gummies, wine gums have their own special place. The flavors are unlike other candy. The texture is great. Everything about them is great. This is one of those snacks that for no reason at all I'll just crave wine gums. One important point that should be made is that the black ones are not licorice but in fact berry flavored. This has got to be one of my regular favorites.
Dont be fooled by the name. Wine gums are not chewing gum, but more of a chewy gummi candy. And they dont contain any wine! They come in larger
bags and smaller rolls that you can pick up from the candy aisle and take on the road for a refreshing fruity taste. These candies may not suit those who
dont like wineor parents who dont want their kids to develop a liking for alcohol. They come in flavors like port, sherry, burgundy, champagne and
claret, as well as different shapes including kidney-shaped, crown, and rectangle. Invented by Charles Maynard in 1909, these chews have a thicker
consistency than other gummies, which lets the flavor lastlike a fine wine. The flavor quotient on these candies is outstandingbright and refreshing
all the way down.

Customer Review: Mmmmm...Maynard's.

What is it about some Canadian snacks--the flavor is so much richer! (Although these are technically from Great Britain)
Maynard's winegums fall into that category. Think of Jujubes with an attitude. Rich, winy goodness!

Customer Review: Fantastic

These were fantastic and tided me over until next time I go to the U.K. The best sweets you can get!!

finding anything you might desire in wines.

Customer Review: Absolutely great

This is a must-have book for your home library. What surprised me is the cost, so low for a hardcover, high quality book like this.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP -- When Melissa Roedema's then-boyfriend Jason Van Dyke took her last year to Corkscrews Winery, she was skeptical. "As we were driving by I said, 'Oh that's the winery I wanted you to try," Roedema told Van Dyke.
