I think I have wine and coffee running through my veins so I was excited to received these products for review. And let me tell you, these are beautiful calendars. The spice calendar has a page for spices such as bay leaf, vanilla, capers (did you know they are a spice?!), lavender and saffron, with stories and wine and cuisine suggestions for them all. The coffee calendar features coffee drinks such as espresso romano, Cafe au lait, and cappuccino, with stories and recipes. And the wine calendar features some of your favorite wines (with their pairings): Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Syrah and more! The pictures are gorgeous too. The reference cards are amazing – illustrated photos with the histories of various spices, wines and coffee, and more recipes and pairings – a real education! If you have a wine, coffee or spice (cooking) fan on your holiday gift list, you can’t go wrong with Ghigo Press – check them out – shop online today.
