Miller Wine Works 2004 Sage Canyon Syrah

Robert Parker of The Wine Advocate, gave this 2004 Sage Canyon Syrah a Rating of 91 points.
It has been recommended that this excellent Syrah will peak at 10-12 years old, so now is the perfect time to
open a bottle. Normally priced at $45 or higher, if you can find it.

On sale now at a super low price of just $35. 

Winemaker Notes:
The 2004 Miller Wine Works Syrah, Sage Canyon Vineyard, Napa Valley opens with a touch of caramel spice and violet on the nose, ceding to hints of earth and minerality.  This is confirmed on the palate, with the addition of ripe black raspberries and sour cherries in combination, all laced with threads of tar and anise in a whirl of mouthfilling excitement.  A touch of oak and exceptionally integrated tannins carry this wine to a graceful finish now, but which will only improve with time ….. provided you can wait !

At Garrett's Emporium our goal is to find boutique wineries, select interesting wines that may not be readily available, and offer them to you at a reasonable cost.

Regrettably we are only able to ship to California locations at this time.

Passing of Donald L. Garrett

The End of an Era
It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Donald L. Garrett on June 11th 2013. In 1973 International Electronics Unlimited was formed by Don Garrett and 2 partners. With Don's leadership and entrepreneurial spirit the business flourished, and within 10 years he became the sole owner of Garrett Electronics.
 

The business has gone through many phases over the past 40 years, but the integrity and ingenuity of Don Garrett has always been at the heart of Garrett Electronics Corp. Over the past 20 years he established a standard for quality and innovation in his creation of engineering lab kits, still unmatched in the industry. He worked tirelessly over the years to improve on the design, labeling and packaging of kits. Garrett Electronics was the first, and is still the only company, to offer to splice on leaders and tails to make the reels truly production ready, and make parts available to ship the same day. His brother Wayne Garrett assisted in the development of the technique and work station to splice and add the leaders and tails. Don reigned as President of the company for 38 years with his daughter Donna joining him in 2000. While he continued as owner, Donna took over as President in 2010. Don continued to offer his recommendations right up to the week before he passed.
In 2006 Don created Gifts Gone Goumet and Garrett's Emporium. Throughout his life he had a love of fine foods and wines. This venture was a joy to him, an opportunity to select his favorite foods and wines, and share them.
He will be fondly remembered by his many loyal employees, some who have been with the company for over 15 years, and by his daughters Donna and Lynne, who have done their utmost to retain the level of integrity in their business relationships, which their customers have come to expect.

Gluten Free Chocolates

Gifts Gone Gourmet offers fabulous Gluten Free Chocolates from two superior Chocolatiers:
Sjaak's Organic Chocolates and Wei of Chocolate.




















Wei of Chocolate creator Lisa Reinhardt says  "Chocolate is the perfect vehicle by which to introduce meditation," ..... "When people taste the wei, they drop all extraneous thought and find themselves nowhere else but fully in the present moment. Our aim is to take something that people already do and elevate it. Introducing intentional blends of organic herbs and spices to beautiful dark chocolate already renowned for its health benefits - what could be better?"




The Wei of Chocolate line is organic, fair trade and vegan dark chocolate. They reduce, reuse, recycle everything they can. The foil around the chocolate is recyclable. Their labels are made so the whole tube can go directly into recycling.





At Sjaak's Organic Chocolates it is their mission to 'create the highest quality gourmet organic chocolates possible while simultaneously supporting a positive work environment, fair trade practices and encouraging sustainable agriculture through the use of organic, non-GMO ingredients. It is also the goal of Sjaak's Organic Chocolates to build a socially responsible, profitable business that can be carried on for generations to come.'  They are a gluten free facility and use organic soy in all of our products.

At Gifts Gone Gourmet we include several items from Sjaak's in our gift baskets, including many of their fabulous individual bars, as well as their dark chocolate Nuts & Chews, Salted Caramels, and their luscious Lavender Truffles.
