Why should I have wine delivered at home?

Home delivery of food items has become a growing trend around the world. There are several sites that are perfect examples of a place to go for my favorite “food” item, wine. The reasons to buy wine online and have it delivered are numerous. With this in mind I started a hunt for the perfect wine delivery site.

Most of the sites I looked at have an ample selection of wines that can be delivered to your door. Most of the major producers offer online access. There are also many smaller producers that you would never be able to sample at your local grocer.  This is a huge advantage to buying wine and then having it delivered. The time it takes to go to different outlets to shop for different brands can be extensive.

Delivery is usually very easy to set up. Most sites offer delivery within two or three days. Some will deliver the next day depending on your time of order and geographic location. This is another advantage of convenience. The only time this is not available is when you realize at 5:00 that you need a bottle of wine at 6:00. This is a very difficult situation to fix other than getting in your auto and going yourself. When you have done a little of planning home delivery of wine is a very viable option.

I had one occasion where the bottle arrived broken. All I had to do was call the number listed on the site, and they worked it out. The lady was really rather pleasant to deal with. She even told me if I ever received a wine that I wasn’t happy with to give them a ring and they would work with me. Now that is service. Most sites are more than willing to work with you. They understand that accidents happen. Make sure and report it as soon as you discover the problem.

Home delivery is an option of convenience. It is something that is becoming more available and accepted and even expected by consumers. To me the convenience and the savings are really a great deal. Check it out and post your thoughts.

Cheers!

“I got crab po-boy and gumbo,” said Jennifer Adams of Biloxi.

Seafood favorites drew a large lunch crowd to Bruno’s Cafe Wednesday. That’s the same day Boston Chemical Data Corporation posted a study that raised questions about the presence of dispersants in Gulf seafood.

The company was hired by the United Commercial Fishermen’s Association. When we told some customers about a study, most of them said they weren’t worried at all about the safety of the shrimp and crab they were consuming.

“I believe it’s safe,” said Adams. “I think that if it wasn’t, we would know about it, or the FDA would tell us.”

“There’s absolutely no hesitation whatsoever on my part eating seafood out of the Gulf,” said Raleigh. “We’re getting ready to have an anniversary party coming up here in a couple of weeks, and we’re going to have a shrimp boil.”

Chris Soldo co-owns the Biloxi restaurant. When asked how much of his seafood comes from the Gulf, he responded, “Every bit of it.”

He continues to offer daily seafood specials, but Soldo said sales of seafood dishes have dropped since the oil spill. So he’s putting more barbecue meats on the menu.

“People are skeptical of the product right now, and right now, it’s as safe as you ever had. It’s unbelievable how it’s controlled and regulated,” said Soldo.

Several customers at the Quality Seafood market next door agreed, saying they trust the government’s findings.

“I just go with our inspectors, and they would not let it out if it wasn’t good for the public to eat,” said Margaret Woodall of Biloxi.

“I actually have a student that’s heading back to Alaska tomorrow. And he’s going to come down and buy seafood and have it packaged to ship back to Alaska. He’s going to take some Gulf Coast seafood with him,” said Raleigh.

The Department of Marine Resources, along with other state and federal agencies continue to stress, that Gulf seafood is safe to eat.

“I’m staying away from seafood,” said Columbus resident Greg Wilder. “I don’t want to trust no seafood – not right now. We’re eating less and less seafood because of the oil spill.”

“I’m not going to any type of restaurants that involve seafood right now,” said Brooke Olson. “I’m just scared to get a disease or just dying or just being contaminated.”

“Well, I think everyone is a little scared,” explains Jamie Gruber, the lead chef at The Market, a restaurant in downtown Columbus. “And, you have to use your own common sense.”

His business thrives on what is caught in the waters. Gruber understands consumer concerns, but adds seafood is safe to eat.

“The same principles apply,” he explains. “When you’re shopping for it, you want to make sure there is not a smell there. You want to make sure the meat is nice and firm. If you’re dealing with a whole fish, you’re looking for the gills to still have some color. And, of course, the skin to have some color in it. As long as you buy from a good, reputable place, you should be fine.”

Gruber says fortunately the oil spill has not affected business. But, he remains concerned over the spill’s long term effects.

“The one fish that we’re really concerned about is the Gulf Red Snapper because it’s the only one that comes from the Gulf,” Gruber said.
