We are delighted to welcome products from the Robbins Family Farm to our collection of spectacular olive oils. All of our olive oils are very high quality oils made locally in the central coast region of California. The Robbins Family was included in a recent article about California olive oils, on the website of the slightly zany host of CNBC's Mad Money. The article can be found at the following address:

The Robbins Family Farm is a small producer of Tuscan, Spanish, and California varietal olive oils in San Luis Obispo California. They grow their trees sustainably and hand pick their olives. And they add that " To maintain maximum taste and freshness we hand bottle just prior to selling or shipping."
The Ascolano is an unusual single variety offered by the Robbins company. It received the Bronze Medal Winner at the Los Angeles International Olive Oil Competition. The Robbins company describe this as "The near perfect single varietal olive oil. A smooth and buttery oil containing all the flavors and complexity of our Tuscan blend but much more subtle. For those who prefer mild oils or just beginning to explore the wonders of olive oil."
Garrett's Emporium will start by adding the Ascolano variety in the 60 milliliter size that will be ideal for the gift basket division of the company Gifts Gone Gourmet.

The 2005 version of the red blend from Piedra Creek Winery proves to be another outstanding wine! This vintage is a blend of 58% Lagrein, 34% Merlot and 8% Petite Syrah. The Lagrein is a red grape from the Alto Adige region in Northern Italy. The dark earthy flavor with bittersweet fruit dominates the blend, which is softened by a ripe Merlot and a velety Petite Syrah.
