Absolutely THE Perfect Hostess Gifts.

Old World Gourmet also received First Place in the Best Snack Category for their Simply SINsational Trail Mix.

Mama said………. eat your peas and what a way to eat your peas! It’s packaged in assorted bandanas tied with jute string. A great snack mix with a keepsake bandana!! This item is a great basket inclusion, perfect for Father’s Day, and can even be assembled in your favorite “GAME DAY” colors! This is simply The Best Snack in town!

Old World Gourmet has been in the business of selling frozen wine chillers for 6 years. Dan and Deanna Sullivan attribute the success of their company to the grace of God, commitment to succeed, and always exceeding our customer’s expectations. “Success for us is truly measured by our customer’s complete satisfaction.” Deanna states.

Old World Gourmet actually made its debut on September 11, 2001… (Yes that date is correct). Dan reflected back to the day the business started, “We were in Philadelphia at the National Candy Show. Certainly we will never be able to forget that day.”

Old World Gourmet will be celebrating their 6th year in business on September 11, 2007. “Our parent company “Nuts for You” started in 1996 in Florida with two products, cinnamon and sugar glazed nuts and my grandmother’s “church punch” which later became our signature “Old World Cider”. Deanna reminisced By providing a high quality line of products and designing their own packaging and marketing strategies, It is no wonder that within the last five (5) years Old World Gourmet has reached a regular customer base just over 4000. They manufacture all of their products from the actual item to the custom bags that they go into. All are hand-crafted and hand assembled one bag at a time. Merchants who have developed a working relationship with Old World Gourmet are able to take advantage of their private labeling for resellers. If there is a frozen wine cooler on the market, it likely got its start at Old World Gourmet.

Old World Gourmet has been featured in The Home Business Magazine which highlights “self-made” business individuals. Some of their products such as our Vineyard Frost and their Margarita have been featured in magazines such as Rave Reviews and Country Business. Their products can be found in locations such at The Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Tampa Airport, Orlando Airport, Hallmarks, Theme parks, Boutiques, Hospital gift shops, and hundreds of retail shops.

Excitedly Deanna announces the new line of products that just hit the market. “Our Wine @ Five Collections(TM) of frozen wine chillers is a must! The hottest NEW Frozen Wine Drinks are here. Vineyard Frost, a refreshingly different way to cool down on a hot summer day! Just add our Vineyard Frost, your favorite wine, and mix, freeze and enjoy! No blender or ice needed. We are also the home of the “BITCH BAG” Collection of frozen Wine Mixes. That’s right, the “BITCH BAG” collection! THE BITCH IS BACK and she is at Old World Gourmet! Hot off the production line from Old World Gourmet, their new “Bitch Bag Collection” is breaking record sales. The powdered mix collection consists of all the favorites, “Wine-E-Bitch”, “Bitch-ARita”, “Cosmo Bitch”, “Lemon Drop Bitch” and “Bitchy Colada”.

Sick & Tired of Being Stressed-out? A 130-Year-Old Herbal Drink May Be Your Ticket to Relaxation and Better Health

Lately you must hear people everywhere talking about “STRESS.” Indeed Yes, Nowadays the United States and even globally economies are dwindling; people are facing job instability, unemployment, and devaluation of their real estate property and stock portfolios, all of which contribute to the increasing amount of stress on people. According to the American Psychological Association (APA) report, there are nearly 113,000,000 people in the U.S. who have severe stress.

The problem with stress is it negatively affects health and can lead to trouble sleeping, headaches, constipation, diarrhea, irritability, lack of energy, lack of concentration, anger, depression, stomach problems, skin problems, anxiety, weight gain or loss, heart problems, high blood pressure, and more.

To help combat stress and its negative impact on health, Dr. G.L. Chao, a Ph.D. in Chinese Herbal Medicine, along with several other prominent Doctors of Chinese Herbal Medicine, began researching Dr. Chao’s 130-year-old family herbal formulas,was developed and first used by Dr. Chao’s great-great grandfather Dr. Baoyin Chao back in 1878 to help people relax and relieve the negative health problems caused by stress in China.

After intensive research, Dr. Chao and his research team were delighted to discover that his family’s herbal drink could be used to reduce the symptoms of stress by regulating the immune system and the brain’s central nervous system. The family’s herbal formula helped improve blood capillary circulation, thus regulating high blood pressure and reducing the feelings of depression, stress, and worries.

In 2008, under the guidance of the American National Food Laboratory, a healthy herbal drink “Dr. Chao Stress Reliever” has finally been made available in the USA.

Dr. Chao Stress Reliever is manufactured in the state of Wisconsin, U.S.A. and has been certified by the National Food Laboratory of America to be sugar-free, calorie-free, caffeine-free, and it contains no preservatives and no artificial sweeteners. This drink is a 100% all-natural herbal beverage that contains the true flavor of a unique blend of wild grown herbs, it comes in a can with an easy-open lid, tastes naturally sweet and has the scent of fresh mountain herbs,soothes thirst, and does not have side effects.

Bite2Eat.com Makes Ordering Food a Social Experience

Social Media start-up Bite2Eat Corporation announced today the launch of Bite2Eat.com, a restaurant directory that makes it easy to order from restaurants using on-line menus. Whether a restaurant is looking for a free, no-hassle way to establish an on-line presence, or simply wants to supplement existing efforts, Bite2Eat.com is a quick and risk-free way to attract new on-line customers and encourage existing ones to continue ordering.

“Restaurant owners have to focus on food quality, preparation and sales — they don’t want to spend the time or money figuring out how to manage getting orders on-line,” explained CEO Jay Bailey. “We make it painless to offer customers on-line menus — with no startup costs or ongoing fees — for absolutely any restaurant that takes delivery or pickup orders. It’s essentially free marketing with only a pay-for-performance cost.” Bite2Eat earns a small commission for each order sent by fax to a restaurant.

Co-founder and CTO Marc Fischman added, “The state of the economy means that ordering in is a great and inexpensive way to share an evening with friends. You can experience exotic world flavors without leaving your house. And it actually makes this the ideal time for us to offer owners a way to generate business without having to spend a lot on dubious marketing or cutting prices painfully.”

Bite2Eat.com complements the way a restaurant works without requiring equipment installations or dedicated computers. The Bite2Eat system can transmit orders by fax, by e-mail, or by an automated phone system that reads the order in a natural-sounding voice.

Bite2Eat.com Buddy Orders provide the ability for a customer to initiate an order and then invite colleagues, friends or family members to join that order. Each “Buddy” clicks on the menu’s items, and a single order is transmitted to the restaurant. “This is just the beginning,” explained Bailey. “We are planning a number of features that help foster the ‘social’ element of restaurant ordering. We hope to add an element of fun for the customer and, as a result, larger orders for our restaurants.”

Restaurant fans who would like the option of ordering from their favorite eateries can submit the restaurant information at http://www.bite2eat.com/restaurants/add or download, print and hand the restaurant owner a single-page, fax-ready form found at http://www.bite2eat.com/pages/spread_the_word. Restaurant owners can sign up at http://www.bite2eat.com/owners.  

About the Company
Privately-funded Bite2Eat.com was founded by Marc Fishman and Jay Bailey in the summer of 2008. The team at Bite2Eat.com aims to make interacting with restaurants across the country as convenient and natural as the on-line banking or shopping you’ve become accustomed to. Ordering on-line – especially using our Buddy Orders with a group of friends or colleagues – is easy, quick and more relaxing than ordering by phone using a paper take-out menu.

Acai berries are found in the thick forests of the Amazon that grow in clusters atop the acai palm tree. The Acai berry is likened to be a cross between raspberries and chocolate, thus giving a delicious and unique flavor.

Customers Willing To Wait For Their Orders While Gourmet Food Company Struggles To Find Working Capital

Eight years ago Susan Knapp began making Cinnamon Pear Jelly in her kitchen as a holiday treat. When she realized there was a demand for her healthy and delicious pear creations, she left her lucrative executive position to focus on building her own gourmet food company.

Knapp launched Aunt Sue’s in 1998 with four products, each one winning top awards at the Lake County and California State Fairs. As the company gained momentum, Knapp changed the name to A Perfect Pear from Napa Valley and introduced 15 new products. Now, major wholesale customers include Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Disney, Luxor Hotel & Casino, and the United States Navy, in addition to hundreds of boutique retailers, wineries, restaurants, and caterers across the nation.

Knapp’s commitment to make healthy products that taste delicious, look beautiful, and are friendly to the environment has propelled her company to the brink of the big leagues. And yet, the business is struggling. “Our problem has never been sales,” Knapp says. “Our biggest challenge is undercapitalization.”

With product rapidly flying off the shelves, Knapp finds herself in a unique position: over $100,000 in pending holiday backorders and not enough cash in reserves to manufacture. The rising costs of raw goods and the current credit crunch had brought a rapid halt to production, and yet, the customers are willing to wait.

“Everyday I get calls from customers who tell me they can no longer find our products,” says customer service rep Kat Patterson. “I have to tell them that we are sold out and unfortunately, we don’t know when we will be able to make more. They always tell me they’ll wait. They love our products and don’t care how long it takes. But I know people are anxious to place their holiday orders.”

“Each time I go to production I am making more product, which is great!” Knapp says. “But that also means I always need more money to keep up with growing demand.”

With SBA and bank loans halted, Knapp is now seeking funding from private parties. In this economic crisis, we’re thinking outside of the box and we’re getting pretty creative.”

Knapp currently needs $200,000 to fill backorders and put inventory on the shelves for the busy holiday season. She could save money by using less expensive ingredients and materials, but refuses to cut corners on quality. “Our commitment is to make healthy, delicious products with all-natural, mostly organic and mostly local ingredients. Our customers expect that and are willing to wait. They know we’ll be back.”
