never judge a book by it's cover...

I have a working theory when it comes buying things from food to wine.  I always look at the label and read the description on the packaging.  It seems that every time I purchase a new item utilizing this theory, looking at the details applied to the outside of the package, I am rewarded with an outstanding product. After all, if they spent a lot of time on the outside, well, the inside should have been given the same attention.

The best part of doing this exercise allows me the opportunity to discover new and interesting foods and beverages.  My Big Guy swears it is a remarkable theory since we have certainly enjoyed outstanding food and wine over the years.

And, despite the thought it will be expensive if the package is “regal-looking,” is not always the truth.  In fact, it is often newer family-owned products that are made with the right amount of love.  So, try it and see if you have the same luck.  It has worked for me!
