$17:99 a WHEEL ~ usually $14.99 for a 1/4 Wedge!
We went to the Epicure Imports Sale yesterday, with a small list of “essentials.” Thanksgiving is coming up next week and I know I’m not going to have a lot of extra room in my already crammed refrigerator, so I was counting on my husband to “rein me in”, if I started getting out of control. What I didn’t anticipate, was him going crazy, like a kid in a candy store! We got to Epicure at 2:30 in the afternoon and didn’t leave until 5:30! It was dark outside, as we were loading up the car.
I had planned a special meal last night, using the White Truffle Oil I bought, but it was late by the time we got home and after being inside in a warehouse all afternoon, FULL of French cheese, duck patés. wild mushrooms, wine, and Belgium chocolates, we were starving and decided to open and melt a tub of Cancoillotte (2 for $10.00 – an amazing deal), drizzle some of the Truffle oil on top and cut up a fresh baguette we bought there, as well. That, along with a $7.99 bottle of French Pinot (on sale from $17.99), made for a very satisfying meal!
I was so happy when I walked in, to see my friend, Phillip, who is the man who turned me on to these Epicure Sales, months ago. Phillip grew up in Europe, speaks fluent French and is an Epicure Import Sale veteran! He introduced me to a few new items I hadn’t heard of before and we all spent a good portion of our visit at the Wine Tasting table – hence not getting out of there until dark!

If you’re in L.A. and can make the trek to No Hollywood, they are open again today. There will be another sale in December, in time for Christmas, which I’ll post – but you can call them and request to be put on their e-mail list and they will contact you whenever there’s going to be a sale.
